Beautiful location. Wonderful welcome. Amazing food. The most impressive whisky collection. Fabulous staff.
Pros:

Despite being let down by the Macallan distillery which was absolutely nothing to do with the Craigellachie we were treated to an upgraded room. This was a very nice gesture.
Our Sunday roast was one of the best we’d ever eaten.
Freya in the Whisky Snug was also excellent.

Lovely old hotel.....it does show it's age, but it's also very charming. You cannot miss the bar!
Pros:

The location, the BAR (fabulous bartender made our stay!), the staff, and the pub downstairs (The Speyside Inn) were all great.

Cons:

The room was quite small (we had the "Cozy" or mid sized room) and the 'king size bed' was far from a king size bed that north americans are used to. They told us that they were normal for this area, but we stayed in 4 hotels while in Scotland and all the others had full size King sized beds, so I found that misleading. They have another category called a Super King, I think, and that did have a full king sized bed. It's just good to know ahead of time.

So ein Hotel für 330€ pro Nacht habe ich noch nie erlebt. Der Aufenthalt wurde auch vorzeitig abgebrochen. Schimmel im Z
Pros:

Die Bar und der Barmanager war sehr bemüht.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war alt (maximal 2 Sterne-Standard), vermorschte Fenster und Schimmel überall. Der Empfangsbereich war schmutzig.

Close Option to many Speyside distilleries
Pros:

The property was in a good location. The bar and restaurant were nice. We liked the history.

Cons:

We found it lacking. Things like no offer to help with bags, no hangars in the closet, the fan was filthy, and for such a large bathroom there was one tiny shelf for storage. Our room was right above the bar and it was warm so we had to open the window. The patrons from the bar were outside smoking cigars and the smell went directly into the room.
