Such a beautiful house, and our room was fantastic. We stayed one night and the breakfast was delicious.
No problem parking; the grounds were well kept. Jodi welcomed us, and even helped with dinner reservations.
I loved the bathrobe touch, and the room was super cute.
The price was a bit high, but we only stayed one night, so no discount for multiple nights .
We really liked our short stay, and how close it was to walking to a restaurant.

Highly recommend for anyone to stay at Craigellachie. If you are wanting an evening meal, go down the hill to the pub. Also delicious and very affordable.

What a sweet spot to stay - run by a family who lives in-house downstairs & provides immediate service when you need it. Lovely drawing & dining rooms, bar for whisky tastings & breakfast area with homecooked (and included) breakfasts. Amenities were great, rooms large & cost.

On a one month tour of the UK, we have stayed at 17 properties. This was by far the best.
The room was tastefully decorated and spacious.
The staff was friendly and welcoming.
The in-house bar was well stocked with whiskies and the staff was very knowledgeable on the brands.
We would return for a longer stay next time.

This is a 6-bedroom bnb in Craigellachie. The owners are very nice and accommodating. Their staff in the morning made a wonderful breakfast and were also very kind. We were able to have a fire in the evening to unwind and relax. The only recommendation I have is to bring warm clothes as the heaters go off at night in the rooms (and also during the day). The rooms are single paned glass so it gets cold easily in the rooms. The last night we were there it dropped to 0 degrees and the heater was off in the room so we were quite cold. Otherwise a very nice stay!

Gorgeous Speyside-location and grounds.

I feel bad writing this as overall I had a nice stay at the Craigellachie Lodge. The Speyside-location and grounds are gorgeous; the service was very good, but I just didn't feel the high nightly-rate was justified.

I booked the Telford room seeing it had a bathtub - I had looked forward to a soak. I didn't make a fuss at the time because I thought I had possibly misread the room description (I hadn't), and it was only a one-night stay. The issue with the Telford room however was that the bathroom is basically a wet room - the shower had a movable screen which does nothing to stop the water going over/under. This means when showering the water goes absolutely everywhere, and the floor was soaking wet in the bathroom for the duration of my stay - so I had to put down all the towels. Maybe its me - maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I just didn't feel that the standard of the bathroom matched my expectations.

The description for the Telford room (below) should be updated:
\"Bathroom – Private bathroom, deep-soaking bathtub\"

Great bargain, fabulous stay. Would stay again!

The Craigellachie Lodge was fantastic. Not only was it a good price, but the accommodations were fairly spacious, clean, and comfortable. This was our first of five nights in Scotland, and our room (The Spey) was large enough that we were able to unpack our bags, sort the provisions we bought for our road trip, and repack without getting frustrated by lack of space. Check in and check out were both simple and efficient, and our hosts were very friendly. The lodge was a short walk (just down the drive and across the street) to the Copper Dog.
We're sorry we were too jet-lagged to enjoy the bar, but it looked super cozy. Breakfast was great- get the whisky and porridge!

A Wonderful Speyside Stay!

A lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the world. We stayed in the Telford room which was roomy and very clean. The hotel is a characterful Victorian house that has been tastefully and sympathetically modernised. Scott and his team were very welcoming which added to our experience. Breakfasts were hearty and tasty. Tried a few drams from Scott’s collection and picked up a few tips and suggestions! We will be back in the future.
