Disappointing stay in a great location
Pros:

Location is great for distilleries and the Cairngorms. Not much to do in Craigellachie itself, but Charlestown (Aberlour) and Dufftown are close. Whisky bar is fabulous.

Cons:

Bed was seriously uncomfortable as were the pillows. Room 5 should not be a guest room. There's a thin door directly into the entry way/lobby, so you hear everyone coming and going, plus the front door slams shut right outside. And the windows are directly on to the sidewalk and street. Not acceptable.

Authentischer Aufenthalt mit persönlicher Betreuung und Beratung für den Aufnethalt und Besuche der Whisky Destillerien.
Pros:

Komfortabel und authentisch. Sehr nettes Personal. Unkomplizierte Anreise, gutes Essen. Wirklich eine gute und rundum passende Erfahrung!

Cons:

Der Kamin könnte befeuert werden und der Preis war eher gehoben. Etwas weniger pro Nacht und Kaminfeuer. Dann wäre es perfekt gewesen und wir wären gerne eine weitere Nacht geblieben.
