Wonderful hosts (although we did not have the benefit of meeting Sarah); Colin was very attentive. Beautiful facility and grounds! We were in the Macallan Room and would have liked to have had a fan to cool the room down somewhat.

Lovely B&B! Very convenient for distillery tours. It was so nice to sit out in the late evenings and talk to other guests. We could walk to the Cardhu distillery. Breakfast by Collin & his wife was excellent! My first taste of Haggie and black pudding, I am hooked! Our room was straightened out everyday, which was really nice!

We booked the room same day and didn’t get there until late Saturday afternoon . The owner was able to get us a dinner reservation for that night. The room was very nice and breakfast was outstanding. We highly recommend a stay here.

The only parking on the trip that was not a pain, you would think an Volvo XC was a tank in the rest of Scotland. A little off the beaten path which we were looking for. Quiet, beautiful grounds, had a chat with the gardener and it showed that he loved his work. Not for the crowd that needs all the bells and whistles. Just a beautiful country home.

Short break during the Speyside Whisky Festival

Host Colin made us feel welcome straight away and was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Guest rooms have everything you'd need for a short break, The rate included a lovely freshly cooked breakfast with plenty of choices and a homemade granola and berry compote to start with, fresh pots of coffee and toast. The House is a short 15-minute drive to a number of small towns nearby with pubs and restaurants.

Amazing Cottage Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the Cardhu Cottage House! The room was very comfortable and the mattress perfect for a good night sleep! The breakfast was delicious and the French press coffee an extra bonus(a good cup of coffee so scarce in Scotland)! Colin and Sara were perfect hosts, very knowledgeable of the area and so friendly!! I highly recommend this place! It is very conveniently located to the many attractions in the area!!
