Beautiful place to stay. Touch of luxury if hiking.
Pros:

This is a beautiful place to stay. I was hiking the Speyside Way and this was one of the nicest places I stayed all week. Really friendly lady who ran the hotel. Prebooked 3 course dinner which was fantastic. Nice big room which is great when hiking. Definitely stay here if staying in the area. Great choice of whisky’s but as I was hiking I avoided!

Cons:

It’s a little bit off the Speyside Way route but it cannot be helped as there is not much accommodation choice around Ballindalloch. It only adds 30 minutes to your walk from the route which is fine as the day 3 stage is flat and not that taxing.

A perfect location, stunning scenery, spacious rooms, and an unforgettable sunset from the deck!
Pros:

My family and I absolutely loved this hotel! It is perfectly located — just a short distance from several distilleries and charming local towns. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully lit. The hotel sits right by the river, and there is a lovely walking path that leads to a stunning pond. The wooden deck at the front is a gem — the perfect spot to sit back, enjoy a drink, and take in the most beautiful sunset. We loved every moment of it. Without a doubt, the highlight of our entire trip!

The perfect, cosy highlands hotel!
Pros:

This hotel is everything you would want from a rural country hotel in the highlands; amazing whisky, food and cosy communal spaces. We also visited the connected distillery close by, this is a must.

Cons:

Host in the evening wasn’t especially customer focused.
