Everything was exceptional. The hospitality from Graham and Sheena was second to none. We got lost our first night out and after a quick call, Graham got us back on track and was actually on his way out to find us when we turned up the drive! That is the level of hospitality provided. Breakfast was delectable! Fresh, buttery croissants, creamy eggs, tasty haggis, sweet fried tomatoes and the tenderest bacon! The beds were so comfortable and the pillows so fluffy!!! The Walker shortbread in the room just cinches the entire package!!! Blervie House is the go too destination during your stay in Scotland!!! Truly wonderful place and amazing hosts. 🥰😍❤️

Absolutely wonderful stay. Graham and Sheena made us so welcome that I think we may have to go back sometime. From the breakfast to the beautiful huge room we couldn’t fault it. The bathroom was absolutely enormous.
Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

The owner made a point of telling us that by booking through Expedia we had paid considerably more than fellow guests who had booked directly and that we had been given the worst room. That was certainly true as we had water dripping from the ceiling and faulty lighting. The room was decommissioned after we left. An unpleasant experience.

While a car and GPS/directions are needed to get to Blervie House, once there you are central to a variety of activities. For us that meant distillery tours. We arrived and were greeted and made to feel welcome by Graham. As it turns out we timed our visit between other guests and had the house to ourselves. We found the grounds lovely for walking about. The rooms were elegantly appointed and large. The bathroom was very modern and provided every spa product you could want. Breakfast is made to order and delicious. This is a unique and wonderful treat for any occasion. Put this on your must visit list in Scotland!

Felt like Lord & Lady of the Manor!

We thoroughly enjoyed a couples reunion in this large fully-restored stately home. We had one of their middle-priced rooms which was huge, bathroom was huge and the bed very comfortable. Fabulous (huge) breakfasts each morning. Large state rooms for sitting and reading. Full size snooker table.

Note - Forres is a bit remote! it's small town and rather quiet. We enjoyed local walks and traveled an hour to Loch Ness and 40+ mins each way to Inverness for Distillery Tours, Go-Karting, Sightseeing, etc. (Must take a taxi or minibus if you plan a Distillery tour!)

If you are a larger group Graham and Sheena may offer a dinner option. If they do - take it!

Excellent Stay at Blervie House

My husband and I had an excellent stay at Blervie House, we arrived during Storm Arwin and the hosts Graham and Sheila couldn’t have been more helpful. It was a beautiful house in lovely grounds. The cooked breakfast was amazing. My husband and I were the only guests that weekend and Graham and Sheila were so attentive, couldn’t have asked for anything more.

A ruined holiday

Booked 6 nights for our family of 4 at Blervie House, expecting a relaxing stay at a 5 star establishment. For us, that this was a country house stay (“whilst here treat Blervie House as your home”), involving interaction with other guests & no TVs or phones in rooms, were all positive aspects. What we did not expect was to find the attached note hanging outside our door. Needless to say, we had not made any towel-marauding trips to other people’s bathrooms! With no-one available to speak to at Blervie House, we logged a complaint with hotels.com & raised this at breakfast. What happened next was bizarre. First, Graham suggested we move into a private room to have a chat – we declined, we had nothing to hide. He then suggested we finish our breakfast & check out & he would refund us for the remaining 2 nights! When I stated that we had only used the towels supplied in our bathroom on arrival, I got a begrudging apology along with “But you haven’t exactly been ideal guests have you!” (our sins – being up to 15 mins “late” for breakfast, staying in our room until midday when our daughter was unwell, turning on the bathroom fan, occasionally forgetting to wear a face-mask to breakfast (there are no signs about this in the house, so quite easy to be halfway downstairs in the morning before remembering)). It was very clear that he wanted us to leave. I can only wonder whether he had over-booked & wanted our rooms for others. Waiting resolution of complaint before posting further.

5* for a reason

Our stay at Blervie House could not be faulted in any way at all. Graham and Sheena are the perfect hosts and their property is absolutely stunning. The whole place has been beautifully restored and just oozes relaxation throughout. Beautiful views of the area and very peaceful surroundings added to the whole experience and we were made to feel very welcome. The public rooms were great for relaxing and just so pleasant to be in and around.
Our only regret was that we were only here for three nights but we definitely plan to come back

A Gem in the Highlands

A gem of a hotel not far from Forres. Graham our host had the most amazing stories. Perhaps one of the most comfortable bed/bedding I have ever slept in. Slept like a log as it is very quiet in the grounds. The hotel is beautifully decorated/furnished and we really enjoyed our stay. Suggest the hotel is perfect for the older couples wanting something a little special. Breakfast was great served on long Dining tables which will be wonderful when the country returns to normality.

STAY AWAY from this nightmare. I didn't want to believe the reviews of others who expressed dismay about the owner, but they are true. What should have been a relaxing and enjoyable golf weekend was ruined by the stress that the Blervie House and its owner unnecessarily brought on. He should not be in the hospitality business, as he was anything but hospitable.

A lovely place to breathe and relax

Graham and Sheena are the best of hosts, and the House itself is extraordinary: half refuge and half art gallery. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is peaceful and beautiful (check out the peacocks and deer in the back meadow). Findhorn and Pluscarden Abbey (drop by for vespers) and major distilleries and more are nearby. Spend several days if you can.

A bit of heaven

Blervie house is a rare find . It beat all expectations. A mansion converted into a hotel beat every other 5 star experience had . Tucked away , surrounded by trees and surrounded by a view only seen on postcards . Each bedroom is named after a Scottish clan . The Suites are big , with an attached walk in and a great bathroom. Clean !! ‘personal ‘ hospitality Sheena and Graham so readily gave is what I describe as the icing on the cake . Too short a stay for us . Love to go back .

Gem in Picturesque Scottish Countryside. Conveniently located on the Malt Whiskey Trail, close to main attractions in Moray Speyside, this place is a unique destination itself. Elegant, spacious and extremely comfortable, it sits on a lush beautiful property ( with two peacocks!!) Hosts Graham and Sheena made us feel like dear guests. Highly recommend!

Hidden Gem

If you are looking for peace & quiet in luxurious surroundings in a beautiful location with generous & gregarious hosts this is the hotel for you. No piped music & a glorious absence of the ubiquitous TV (apart from one in the \"family room\" makes it heaven for those you enjoy a tranquil stay.Within a 10 minute drive of Forres & the glorious Finhorn the hotel is set in splendid isolation up a long drive & offers sumptuous accommodation including ,for us, a bathroom as large as any bedroom I've stayed in .No dinner on offer (except by special arrangement) but plenty of good eateries in Forres & Finhorn & the plentiful breakfast is more than sufficient compensation.

Very disappointed!

We showed up at 10pm and no one was there. Everything was locked up and lights off. We kept ringing the bell, nocking on the door and calling the phone number but no one answered!!
After waiting over and hour in the the front door with zero answer we had no choice but to leave and it was not easy finding another hotel at 11pm.

HANGIL

Rooms were great, exceeding expectations considering its location in the countryside and cheap price.
However, the owner should not be so aggressive about inconveniences caused by guests.
If he thought we were too loud in our rooms, the owner should have simply said so.
Barging in to our room without any warning or properly announcing himself(he just opened the door and came in his bathrobes) was unacceptable. Proceeding to then waving/pointing the end of his walking stick at his guests' faces while shouting threats, would not be considered anywhere near tolerable, let alone hospitable.
We would have been regretful for any inconveniences we may have caused, if it were not for the owner waving his walking stick at us, causing more Shock than Regret. We are your customers, dear sir, not some kids you let in.
Cultural differences may exist, and the 'friendly' atmosphere of this facility may come with its downsides, but the owner should learn his manners before attempting to teach others theirs.
He would do well to remember the guests are not 'guests' at his home, but 'paying customers' who are using his facilities at their expense.
Other grievances include the fact that the housekeeping is limited to new towels, but I understand that it is in accordance with ESG trends.
Nevertheless, we still enjoyed most of our stay at this establishment.

Wundervoller Aufenthalt im Herrenhaus

Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt. Wir hatten ein großzügiges Zimmer mit separatem, sehr großem Bad - beides mit toller Aussicht auf die umliegenden Ländereien und ausgestattet mit Fön, Handtüchern, Duschzeug, WLAN und einer kleinen Kaffeemaschine. Alles war sehr sauber und schön hergerichtet, passend zu dem schönen Herrenhaus. Es gab im Erdgeschoss auch zwei Aufenthaltszimmer für die Gäste (Lesezimmer und Fernsehzimmer) sowie einen Aufzug zu den Zimmern im ersten und zweiten Stock. Wir wurden herzlichen empfangen und bekamen auch Tipps für das Abendessen bzw. die Besichtigungsmöglichkeiten in der Gegend. Das wäre dann auch der einzige Nachteil - man muss für das Abendessen noch einmal ein bisschen fahren (10-15 Min. höchstens). Dafür liegt das Anwesen sehr schön und ruhig, umgeben von einem kleinen Wäldchen.
Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig (Müsli und Früchtebuffet plus diverse Bestellmöglichkeiten eines warmen, schottischen Frühstücks aus der Küche) und sehr lecker. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren, dann aber sicher für mehr als nur eine Übernachtung. Die Umgebung bietet viele Möglichkeiten und man fühlt sich einfach wohl.
