Set high above the village of Charlestown of Aberlour and overlooking the River Spey, this elegant country hotel is an ideal venue for shooting and fishing, and for whisky-lovers.

Superb service from all staff and stunning location. Fantastic food, drink and selection of whisky!
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.

We have had meals a number of times in the Aberlour Hotel and have always had a fantastic experience. Large portions too.
Each time we’ve visited, all staff have been knowledgeable about the area and are always happy and cheerful.
Our room was large with a gigantic comfortable bed. the room was heated to a good temperature and was quiet too.
Welcome to Cardhu Country House which sits in the very heart of the Malt Whisky Trail.

We loved our stay at peacefull and beautiful location, owners were really friendly and helpful. We only regret not having more time to spend here in charming lobby with fireplace.

We stayed in the hayloft for Hogmanay, it was a perfect cozy wee country break. Lovely surroundings and ideal for a wee four legged friend.

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 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 stay was fantastic! So peaceful and enjoyable, we didn't want to come home. Staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially when we asked to extend our stay. Plenty to do in Aberlour and is within walking distance of the distillery and a beautiful waterfall.
Would 100% stay again. Thank you so much!
during a ten day trip to scotland, cardhu country hotel was the best hotel we had. Val and Dave are very charming and caring hosts. Their house is exceptional. The quality of their dinner is remarkable as breakfast the next morning. we regretted not staying longer.
The Aberlour was completely charming. Our room was large and comfortable, the bed was great, and the staff were really sweet. Breakfast was one of the best i ate in Scotland. Nice bar in the back. Excellent location. We took a great walk directly from the hotel.
Breakfast was very good, lots of choices and freshly prepared. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The evening meals were excellent, great choice from menu, and delicious.
