Lovely and quiet yet easy to get to the village and everything else to see in Speyside. The staff took great care of us. Our breakfasts and dinner was exceptional. We will definitely stay again on our next trip back to Scotland.

Food wise not the best. Too ambitious menu and not well executed.

Great location and room was very comfortable.

In many years I’ve never come across a place quite like Craigellachie Lodge. It’s nothing short of a unique gem in the heart of Speyside. The Lodge itself is a stunning old house in Craigellachie which is a magical wee town on the banks of the river Spey. It’s situated in the heart of Craigellachie but cutely nestled at the end of its own private driveway tunnelled and secluded by rhododendrons. On arrival, you’re always thoroughly warmly welcomed as if you were old friends, with big smiles and good cheer. Once settled in you can mosey back around to the well furnished cosy Whisky Bar. The Bar is finely curated with some of the most excellent and occasionally very rare whisky available. The bar is the pride and joy of Scott, one of the Lodge’s proprietors and you’ll be able to find some real gems there. I’m not going to tell you what bottles Scott’s keeping hold of there.. because I want some of the stuff to still be there by the next time I visit. :D The Lodge is run by Jodi and Scott and their excellent staff who work to keep the experience at Craigellachie Lodge tip top. You’ll be invited to dine in their excellent Restaurant which I highly recommend. The food is extremely good and the Restaurant itself is cosy and welcoming and relaxing. If you’ve already made plans that’s never a problem, they’re not precious and there’s of course no obligation or expectation that you’ll eat in the Lodge. The Lodge is more of a Hotel than a BnB, but it definitely very cleverly blends the two. They’ll never see you go without and if you need recommendations of other places to go or visit or do, the amazing staff or Scott or Jodi are always keen to help out and give recommendations. I recommend doing the Whisky Tasting experience in the Speyside Whisky Shop which has connections to The Lodge. We also hired bikes from Right To Roam which is nearby. The staff and welcome and experience here are second to none. Big Thanks to Scott, Jodi and Sam for everything.

Charged extra for coffee at breakfast at a £175/night hotel was a very new experience. Apparently this was because it was premium coffee (latte) which made even less sense given everything else offered for breakfast was of very high premium quality.

Stunning location and property, very clean, quiet

Wonderful stay at the Lodge! Would highly recommend. The food was great, staff were lovely, very comfy rooms and it was a good location for exploring the local area. Really grateful for how friendly and helpful the staff were. It may not be the cheapest option but 100% worth the prcice We hope to visit again!

Service and choice at breakfast was terrific. Room was spacious with lovely ensuite bathroom including generous shower cubicle and free standing bath. Bed was quite hard for me but my wife found it quite comfy. Evening meal was very tasty with open fire as backdrop. Choice on menu is a bit limited if you plan to stay for several days. A well stocked bar and comfy lounge for relaxing make for an all round great break.

Welll, difficult to say: everything was so true, authentic and ... good ! People, premises, food & drinks and the hole lot for a very decent price. What else do you want ?!?

The only thing we didn’t like was there was no lights on the walk up on side path at night.

This property is an hidden gem First class We liked everything staff where amazing. Nothing was too much trouble We loved the open coal fires and fluffy soft robes x

Only negative was the wet-room style shower! Not sure how you are meant to use the bathroom after you’ve got the bathroom sopping! Maybe more people lounge in the free standing bath in the bedroom and then still have a dry bathroom!

Absolute gorgeous small country house hotel. Would love to book it out with friends and pretend it’s my country pile - even if just for the weekend! Beautiful room, comfy bed, lovely freshly cooked breakfast. We were visiting our daughter (who cooked dinner for us!) but having had breakfast, would have like to have tried dinner here, as the food was lovely! Great little bar and beautiful drawing room. Looking for a venue for a small, intimate country wedding? Consider this place - your photos will be gorgeous!

Nothing. If one thing can think of: Dinner menu can be a bit more extensive or dishes to change more often.

Beautifully decorated and well sized rooms, comfortable bed and excellent guest service. Delicious breakfast.

Had a wonderful time here. The location is perfect. The property is well located & very peaceful. Everyone on the staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The breakfast was excellent & the onsite bar very convenient. Our room was amazing with a garden view, fireplace & a spa bathroom I wanted to bring home with me.

The only thing that would have been better was if we could have stayed longer. We were only there for one night so we were not able to enjoy it longer.

The location was wonderful as it was a haven hidden away from any busy areas. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Scott was more than helpful with information about the area and shared valuable and interesting information about the various distilleries in the area. The breakfast went beyond our expectations. My husband isn't a traveler, but wants to return to Craigellachie in the future. An added plus was the ample parking space.

I don't normally bother with reviews but this place was worth it. Beautiful boutique hotel in an old manor house. The room was updated but maintained its historical charm. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was fantastic. Finished the night with a few drams in the well-stocked bar (great selection of local distillers) where the owner was very knowledgable and happy to make recommendations. Would happily return.

It was an ideal setting for having a relaxing break with plenty of parking and easy access to main roads and local village . Great location for touring Speyside also has a relaxing bar with great selection of malt whiskies and evening meals available .
