Craigellachie Lodge

What a gem! Charming manor home with six rooms. Owned and run by a lovely couple. Whiskey bar on sight as well as an intimate dining space for dinner which was prepared by a chef. Delicious! Peaceful property and friendly staff. Easily walkable to the town and even to nearby town by Greenway. Highly recommend.

My son, husband and I stayed one night in May and it was outstanding! My husband and I have decided we will come back for a week! The team was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The inn is warm and cozy. We had pre-dinner drinks (wow, what a whiskey selection) and dinner which was outstanding. Thank you!!

Putting Bonnie into Bonnie Scotland. Such a great stay and nothing was too troublesome to ask. Jodi and the team made us feel very welcome. Rooms were large and outstanding: more than we expected. Looking forward to visiting again with family.

The first time at this Lodge and it was excellent In every way for us. The owner greeted us and answered every question; the dinner and breakfast was really good; accomodation comfortable and clean. The lady who served the bar, dinner and breakfast was exceptional, a real asset. All round a fabulous experience. Thank you !

This is not our first stay so that speaks volumes. We were met with a friendly welcome - by the same faces as previous years so that speaks volumes. The room is spacious, clean, nice soft ropes, comfortable bed, with delicious coffee. Jodi and Scott have created a lovely calm environment which whilst your aware there is a loving family environment within the building the display has the desired professionalism. Sam another key member of the team displays all the flexibility each year in a key member of the team - a talent. We would without doubt return Tips Great location. Walking routes around craigellachie, some are a little steep. Good public transport links to the surrounding areas.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Craigellachie Lodge, we were made most welcome and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful. The accommodation is of a very high standard and within it’s own beautiful grounds, close the village centre.

Premium accommodation. Room was large and luxurious. Bath tub was in the actual bedroom which meant the bathroom had a room for a large shower. Robes are provided. There is a beautiful ground floor room in which to relax and peruse magazines/books or just take a drink. If we had to really picky the vegetarian dishes could have been better prepared and the staff require more experience/training but this last point is a lot more common since Brexit especially in more rural locations so did not spoil our stay

It was our first visit to Scotland and as it was a short visit and we don’t have much alternatives I was curious about accommodation and dining. Hopefully the hotel, rooms, environment and food was all great Moreover the staff helped a lot for my friends lost backpack Thank you all

In many years I’ve never come across a place quite like Craigellachie Lodge. It’s nothing short of a unique gem in the heart of Speyside. The Lodge itself is a stunning old house in Craigellachie which is a magical wee town on the banks of the river Spey. It’s situated in the heart of Craigellachie but cutely nestled at the end of its own private driveway tunnelled and secluded by rhododendrons. On arrival, you’re always thoroughly warmly welcomed as if you were old friends, with big smiles and good cheer. Once settled in you can mosey back around to the well furnished cosy Whisky Bar. The Bar is finely curated with some of the most excellent and occasionally very rare whisky available. The bar is the pride and joy of Scott, one of the Lodge’s proprietors and you’ll be able to find some real gems there. I’m not going to tell you what bottles Scott’s keeping hold of there.. because I want some of the stuff to still be there by the next time I visit. :D The Lodge is run by Jodi and Scott and their excellent staff who work to keep the experience at Craigellachie Lodge tip top. You’ll be invited to dine in their excellent Restaurant which I highly recommend. The food is extremely good and the Restaurant itself is cosy and welcoming and relaxing. If you’ve already made plans that’s never a problem, they’re not precious and there’s of course no obligation or expectation that you’ll eat in the Lodge. The Lodge is more of a Hotel than a BnB, but it definitely very cleverly blends the two. They’ll never see you go without and if you need recommendations of other places to go or visit or do, the amazing staff or Scott or Jodi are always keen to help out and give recommendations. I recommend doing the Whisky Tasting experience in the Speyside Whisky Shop which has connections to The Lodge. We also hired bikes from Right To Roam which is nearby. I recommend taking the bikes down the Speyside Way to visit The Glenallachie Distillery, Aberlour Distillery and The Speyside Whisky shop in Aberlour. You can also now cycle to Rothes, the town to the North of Craigellachie. Doing all of this in one day makes for a particularly good day. The staff and proprietors at Craigellachie Lodge are the most accommodating people I’ve ever met and went out their way to ensure my Father and I had a truly unforgettable experience. On one occasion we lacked suitable transportation for the short journey up to The Macallan Distillery and Jodi helped us out by transporting us there without any hassle. You can’t really ask for much more than that. The rooms are extremely comfortable, clean and homely. Each room is a little different. On this occasion, my Father and I stayed in Aigan, a cosy twin room with en-suite. On my previous stay my wife and I stayed in The Apple Room. A very beautiful double room with en-suite. The rooms are cleaned each day and beds made up. Amazingly and cleverly done while you’re enjoying the hotel breakfast. The Breakfast is amazing! Easily the best
