Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside

The whisky bar, the special dinner and wine pairing, and the hotel staff were all amazing.

Handy location for where we were heading

Nice big king sized room with two easy chairs. Old style highland hotel interior but nice and clean. Reception very friendly and helpful. Handy location for touring the area and just a short drive up to the coast. 5 miles from the Macallan Distillery where we had an excellent dinner!

Practically everything. Very welcoming entrance hall with super friendly reception staff.
We felt immediately at home. Wonderful atmosphere. Room very comfortable.
Breakfast excellent. Whisky Bar a totally brilliant experience.

We always visit The Craigellachie when we visit the Highlands on holiday but this time we did The Full Experience!
Sunday lunch – huge portions, beef cooked to perfection, excellent service.
Geamair – absolutely spectacular. Huge thanks to Tom for his enthusiasm for the food and whisky, and for taking the time to explain the thinking behind each of the fabulous courses. Pawel Sowa is a culinary genius – if you haven’t tasted acorn miso, you haven’t lived!
The Quaich Bar – cosy and comfy, brilliant and knowledgeable bar tender.
Overnight stay – big room, comfy bed, gorgeous toiletries, and decent in-room coffee which is a novelty these days! Followed by breakfast – delicious and all the staff were so welcoming. And the dog-crazy lady at reception whose name I missed is an absolute treasure!
The Spey Inn – two meals, both excellent, and special mention to Maisie who looked after us both times and was excellent.
The whole place – with the exception of Geamair – is dog-friendly…more than that in fact, he was made to feel just as welcome and just as an important customer as we were.
This is “our” table – please keep it safe for us until we come back.

This is a gem of a hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The restaurant and bars are welcoming. The whisky bar is amazing. The sommellier is incredibly knowledgable and tailored his suggestions perfectly.

El desayuno me pareció bueno.
La ubicación inmejorable y el estilo propio de un Castillo Escoces.
Nos sentimos parte de le Escocia tradicional a pesar de ser Uruguayos.
El personal fantástico, Jane, Pablo, Willy, Oscar, la gente del desayuno que no conocemos sus nombres nos parecieron todos muy profesionales, acogedores y nos trataron fantásticamente.
Hoy que nos veníamos temprano, antes de la apertura del desayuno, nos esperaron con el desayuno pronto para que pudiéramos viajar con nuestros café y deliciosas medias lunas. La Chica que nos atendió, no recuerdo el nombre, no pudo ser mas amable. Una dulzura el personal

Unser Aufenthalt im Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside war insgesamt sehr gelungen und absolut empfehlenswert. Das traditionsreiche Haus versprüht einen ganz besonderen Charme – man spürt sofort die Geschichte und die enge Verbindung zur Whisky-Region Speyside.

Besonders beeindruckend ist die legendäre Quaich Bar mit ihrer riesigen Auswahl an Whiskys – ein echtes Highlight für Genießer. Auch die Lage ist ideal, um die umliegenden Destillerien und die wunderschöne Natur der Highlands zu erkunden.

Kleine Abzüge gibt es für Details im Komfort und die teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommene Ausstattung – dennoch überwiegt der besondere Charakter dieses Hauses deutlich.

Very traditional, clean, well maintained, well situated

We had such a lovely night away. The staff were so good. The whisky bar was incredible and the breakfast was delicious.
