Beautiful setting and facilities. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming and enjoyable. Walking distance to GlenAllachie distillery which is a huge bonus.
Situated in Aberlour, 33 km from Huntly Castle, The Mash Tun features accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.

View from our room overlooking the river was excellent. Special mention to the young lady who served breakfast - lovely lady who specially made several cups of decaf coffee for me.
To edit: The mile long tree lined High Street has an attractive square and village green and situated right in the centre of the Village is the Aberlour Hotel.
Welcome to Cardhu Country House which sits in the very heart of the Malt Whisky Trail.

Amazing place. We were a group of four and we felt that we always had space in the house. Perfect location to visit Dufftown and all the distilleries nearby.. also a great place to head north to the coast and spot dolphins.

All very happy with the rooms, and we were very satisfied with our suite. Rooms are beautifully decorated. Suite had whiskey for us. Perfectly situated for whiskey tasting at the local distillerys

Great butchers on the high street, amazing deli and wine shop and a great whiskey shop as well. Decent local supermarket. The Hotel has a really nice bar that serves excellent draught beers. Plenty of local whiskey distilleries. Brilliant fish and chip shop.
Beautiful walks along the river and a decent play area for children.
Amazing fishing on the river spey that can be booked at The Aberlour Hotel and the cost doesn't break the bank.

A nice little town with all the basics, Co-op, Ironmongers, Paper shop and Spey Larder with luxury foods.
A good Fish & Chip Shop and Chinese Takeaway.
The river walks run very close to the town centre.
There are a couple of pubs, at least, but we didn't try any.
A pretty Scottish Highland Town with beautiful countryside surroundings.
And quite level to walk around.

Walkers shortbread factory shop in the village.
Walkers shortbread factory shop in the village. On the whisky distillery trail. Close to Aviemore and Grantown on spey. Not far from the coast. Some lovey walks and wild life.
Only a few restaurants so be sure to book early.

If you are a whisky lover, the place needs no introduction. If not, still a pretty little village in a scenic setting. Lots of waking opportunities and ever more distillery visit chances. As they all close at 5 or before, we developed a habit of visiting well-appointed whisky bars, which offer you an amazing selection of a wide range of brands. They even provide fair advice on dram discoveries, I suppose less biased than at any distillery.

The walk along the river spey is very easily accessible and an easy and beautiful walk. The chippy is good. The Dowans Hotel was excellent. The Mash Tun had good atmosphere and choice of whisky but the food was average. Public transport is good and the bus stand in the town displays electronic bus times. Parking in the town is free and plentiful. There is a beautiful delicate essence/food and sandwich shop called the Speyside Larder.

Our first time in that neck of the woods.
Our first time in that neck of the woods. Aberlour is positively huge in comparison to a much smaller Dufftown, where we started our trip! Both towns, and all the surrounding areas are beautiful, calm, quiet, feeling very secluded and out of the way when coming up from Edinburgh! The walks anywhere around there are amazing, but especially in Aberlour along the river Spey, which looked wild, pristine, clear and sparkling.
Mash Tun hotel and whiskey bar is amazing, and the food better than anywhere we have eaten in the Highlands, and better than most places in Edinburgh.
The accommodation is a renovated farm building set next to open countryside on the outskirts of Aberlour.
The renovation has been skillfully done using recycled materials locally sourced..
As a result it is a comfortable, quirky and unique Speyside property with lots of character which made our stay here both enjoyable and memorable. Loved the whisky theme with use off barrels, you knew when you woke up you were in the heart of Speyside.
Loved the book showing how the renovation to the building was carried out, absolutely outstanding.
Interesting old building in an ideal location for exploring Aberlour and the surrounding Speyside. Helpful and pleasant staff. Well done for coping with all the difficulties thrown up by Covid.
Beautiful country home, tucked away in a small village. extremely calm and peaceful.
Excellent breakfast choices, the hosts provide a breakfast menu which is very generous.
