We had a lovely one night stay here (wish it was longer). The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We dined in the restaurant for dinner and the food was delicious. I am coeliac and the server and chef were very accommodating to my needs. So glad we found this hidden gem and will definitely be back.

A nice quiet B&B located up the hill from the town center. The room was cozy and clean. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and just what we needed after a long day and night of Scotch tastings and drinking. Would definitely come back and stay here again.

At start, we had a very warm welcome by the owner Jodi. We had a spacious room, breakfast was delicious as well the dinner. Very homey, and when we could not get a taxi to Macallan, Jodi prompted to take us there and pick up later. That was customer care. We will be back!

Stayed at the Craigellachie Lodge and it was a great experience. Scott the owner was superb. Great service in the Whiskey Bar and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the breakfast and the character of the Lodge. Well appointed rooms. Clean and modern bathrooms. Nice pathway to walk down to the hotel or Highlander Inn. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Excellent!

This is a 6-bedroom bnb in Craigellachie. The owners are very nice and accommodating. Their staff in the morning made a wonderful breakfast and were also very kind. We were able to have a fire in the evening to unwind and relax. The only recommendation I have is to bring warm clothes as the heaters go off at night in the rooms (and also during the day). The rooms are single paned glass so it gets cold easily in the rooms. The last night we were there it dropped to 0 degrees and the heater was off in the room so we were quite cold. Otherwise a very nice stay!

Gorgeous Speyside-location and grounds.
I feel bad writing this as overall I had a nice stay at the Craigellachie Lodge. The Speyside-location and grounds are gorgeous; the service was very good, but I just didn't feel the high nightly-rate was justified. I booked the Telford room seeing it had a bathtub - I had looked forward to a soak. I didn't make a fuss at the time because I thought I had possibly misread the room description (I hadn't), and it was only a one-night stay. The issue with the Telford room however was that the bathroom is basically a wet room - the shower had a movable screen which does nothing to stop the water going over/under. This means when showering the water goes absolutely everywhere, and the floor was soaking wet in the bathroom for the duration of my stay - so I had to put down all the towels. Maybe its me - maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I just didn't feel that the standard of the bathroom matched my expectations. The description for the Telford room (below) should be updated: "Bathroom – Private bathroom, deep-soaking bathtub"

Great bargain, fabulous stay. Would stay again!
The Craigellachie Lodge was fantastic. Not only was it a good price, but the accommodations were fairly spacious, clean, and comfortable. This was our first of five nights in Scotland, and our room (The Spey) was large enough that we were able to unpack our bags, sort the provisions we bought for our road trip, and repack without getting frustrated by lack of space. Check in and check out were both simple and efficient, and our hosts were very friendly. The lodge was a short walk (just down the drive and across the street) to the Copper Dog. We're sorry we were too jet-lagged to enjoy the bar, but it looked super cozy. Breakfast was great- get the whisky and porridge!

A Wonderful Speyside Stay!
A lovely hotel in a beautiful part of the world. We stayed in the Telford room which was roomy and very clean. The hotel is a characterful Victorian house that has been tastefully and sympathetically modernised. Scott and his team were very welcoming which added to our experience. Breakfasts were hearty and tasty. Tried a few drams from Scott’s collection and picked up a few tips and suggestions! We will be back in the future.

Lovely spot for a break
We booked in to the Telford King room which we found clean, airy. The room was well decorated with a comfy bed and clean bedding. Water and a coffee machine were provided in the room along with DAB radio and WI-FI. The building itself is situated away from the road in nice secluded peaceful gardens. Our hosts were lovely and took the time to find us somewhere nice for dinner in nearby Rothes while we went for a walk in Aberlour. This was much appreciated as the whole of Aberlour was fully booked and we were in the mood for some fine dining. We both had the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon breakfast and a cafetière of coffee which were excellent.

I only stayed one night but everything that they did, they did perfectly. The room was comfortable, the rest of the building was in perfect condition and felt homely. They even contacted me before my stay to ask about my preference of room. The breakfast was generous and cooked to perfection.

The property manager was very friendly and welcoming. The house is beautiful and extremely convenient to all the Speyside activities, distilleries, and roadways. We missed the entrance as it's quite difficult to see from the main road, but this can easily be remedied with a proper Google Maps update.

The property has a lovely garden and you can walk to the hotels and pubs. Beth looked after us really well. Breakfast is nice and is ordered the night before. Our room was really large with a nice view on to the garden and fields. Amenities include coffee maker and hair straighteners. The bathroom could do with some updating but it was more then adequate and was also a large room.
