Jodie is a friendly, hospitable host. Their family property is a beautiful, comfortable establishment. It is quiet, incredibly clean and well kept. The morning breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone to stay at Craigellachie. If you are wanting an evening meal, go down the hill to the pub. Also delicious and very affordable. Thank you Jodie, we are so happy that we stayed with you as we made our way up to Inverness. Cindy and John. 🇨🇦

We had a great time staying at Craigellachie Lodge. Jodi was fantastic from the check-in to sharing her knowledge about the distilleries around. The lodge was comfortable and the room was very clean. Great location. We can’t wait to go back next year. Breakfast was really good!

Loved this spot!

What a sweet spot to stay - run by a family who lives in-house downstairs & provides immediate service when you need it. Lovely drawing & dining rooms, bar for whisky tastings & breakfast area with homecooked (and included) breakfasts. Amenities were great, rooms large & cost.

On a one month tour of the UK, we have stayed at 17 properties. This was by far the best. The room was tastefully decorated and spacious. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The in-house bar was well stocked with whiskies and the staff was very knowledgeable on the brands. We would return for a longer stay next time.
