Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is conveniently located to the whisky trail with Glenfiddich and Macallan distilleries being within 10min drive. Hotel has a nice restaurant on the property and there is another good one 2 min walking distance. Our room had all basic amenities and was clean. The hotel has a rustic character of a building over 100 years old. It is very lovely but it comes with old furniture, uneven floor, no AC, and no elevator. Staff was very friendly and eager to help with travel information and other needs."

"Rooms well presented and clean with a good amount of space, large shower and coffee amenities. The breakfast was convenient and the service was quick, although they had limited vegan option and no non-dairy milks available. The staff were all incredible lovely and very helpful. The location was right across the road from the train station and a supermarket, and only a 10 minute walk into the centre of town."

"Nice staff, a lot of information provided. Off street parking is just next to the hotel. Lidl’s within short walking distance. Rooms and the building itself are little tired. Bathroom was a tiny one, but everything worked fine (except the extractor fan). Decorating was little outdated. But if you are looking for affordable stay overnight or few nights stay, then I would recommend it."

10/10 Excellent
"Welcomed by very friendly staff at reception. Beautiful setting and views from the restaurant and bar. Beach is directly opposite and the town is a short walk away. Twin room was a little small and as the weather was unusually warm, it felt a bit stuffy but it was very clean and towels changed each day. We had breakfast both mornings and also had lunch one day and dinner. All the food was great and the service was excellent. Would definitely return but would pay a bit extra for a sea facing room."
