We stayed in the Hayloft which is a one-bedroom unit. I'd say it was better equipped than many 4 bedroom houses we've stayed in and the whole place has a lovely home from home. Scrupulously clean and so quiet it was serene.
Situated within 8 km of Cardhu Whisky Distillery in Aberlour, Bankhouse B&B provides accommodation with a flat-screen TV. There is a seating and a dining area in all units.

Amazing place. We were a group of four and we felt that we always had space in the house. Perfect location to visit Dufftown and all the distilleries nearby.. also a great place to head north to the coast and spot dolphins.

The location is great: Right in the middle of town. It is a good place for visiting all the distilleries. The staff was friendly and the adjoining restaurant offers great menus and a huge range of whisky. Even though we had a room right above the kitchen, there was no smell and just an average noise level. We had a great view from there. Also the noise from the pub just underneath was on a low level (and we stayed there on the weekend!)
Great butchers on the high street, amazing deli and wine...
Great butchers on the high street, amazing deli and wine shop and a great whiskey shop as well. Decent local supermarket. The Hotel has a really nice bar that serves excellent draught beers. Plenty of local whiskey distilleries. Brilliant fish and chip shop.
Beautiful walks along the river and a decent play area for children.
Amazing fishing on the river spey that can be booked at The Aberlour Hotel and the cost doesn't break the bank.

A nice little town with all the basics, Co-op, Ironmongers, Paper shop and Spey Larder with luxury foods.
A good Fish & Chip Shop and Chinese Takeaway.
The river walks run very close to the town centre.
There are a couple of pubs, at least, but we didn't try any.
A pretty Scottish Highland Town with beautiful countryside surroundings.
And quite level to walk around.

Walkers shortbread factory shop in the village.
Walkers shortbread factory shop in the village. On the whisky distillery trail. Close to Aviemore and Grantown on spey. Not far from the coast. Some lovey walks and wild life.
Only a few restaurants so be sure to book early.

If you are a whisky lover, the place needs no introduction. If not, still a pretty little village in a scenic setting. Lots of waking opportunities and ever more distillery visit chances. As they all close at 5 or before, we developed a habit of visiting well-appointed whisky bars, which offer you an amazing selection of a wide range of brands. They even provide fair advice on dram discoveries, I suppose less biased than at any distillery.

The walk along the river spey is very easily accessible and an easy and beautiful walk. The chippy is good. The Dowans Hotel was excellent. The Mash Tun had good atmosphere and choice of whisky but the food was average. Public transport is good and the bus stand in the town displays electronic bus times. Parking in the town is free and plentiful. There is a beautiful delicate essence/food and sandwich shop called the Speyside Larder.

Our first time in that neck of the woods.
Our first time in that neck of the woods. Aberlour is positively huge in comparison to a much smaller Dufftown, where we started our trip! Both towns, and all the surrounding areas are beautiful, calm, quiet, feeling very secluded and out of the way when coming up from Edinburgh! The walks anywhere around there are amazing, but especially in Aberlour along the river Spey, which looked wild, pristine, clear and sparkling.
Mash Tun hotel and whiskey bar is amazing, and the food better than anywhere we have eaten in the Highlands, and better than most places in Edinburgh.
Really really amazing place. Incredibly cosy with excellent facilities; everything you could need for a relaxing hideaway. Almost too good though as I never wanted to leave! Very good location for those who can tear themselves away though, easy walk into lovely Aberlour with a fab range of shops and cafes, and awesome walking along the speyside way or into the hills pretty much on your doorstep. Oh and distilleries seemingly round every corner so fab for a whisky break, which I’m planning on returning for as soon as I can!
Lovely cooked breakfast with a good menu choice set us up for the day. Everything about the B&B was high quality: toiletries, crockery, bedding etc. The room was well lit. it was very quiet so was able to get a good night's sleep. fabulous shower, and surprisingly spacious bathroom.
Nice hotel on the main street. Rooms and bathroom were big enough. Liked the idea of the record player in the room - and it worked. Standard evening meals served in the restaurant. Good breakfast served in the morning. Parking is at the back of the hotel.
Very comfortable property. Well appointed with everything that you need. Ideally located for a short walk into the village centre to access shops etc. We liked taking an evening walk along the river for a drink in the Mash Tun.
