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 whiskey-lovers.

The property was amazing perched up on the hill, with exceptional views across the valley. Attention to detail was on point and nothing was too difficult for the staff and management. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Our room was perfect with a beautiful view. The grounds were well cared for. This property is a 10/10 on all levels.
To edit: The mile long tree lined High Street has an attractive square and village green and located right in the center of the Village is the Aberlour Hotel.

It was a great stay overall.

In an excellent location in the heart of the Speyside Region of Scotland, this cottage provides a welcoming stay beside the river Fiddich. You can listen to the birds in the morning as the river bubbles and gurgles over the rocks. It is a tranquil scene.
Great butchers on the high street, amazing deli and wine...
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.

Unique and charming decor, very much in keeping with the locality. Michelle had really thought through everything guests would need for a comfortable stay, with lots of special touches and treats, including a sample of whisky to get us started in addition to essential provisions. Aberlour was a great base for a holiday and the information provided helped us find the best places to go. We felt very welcome and cared for, exceptional for a self-catering place and excellent value.
Wow! This is a stunning house with beautiful surroundings. Our bedroom was large and luxurious. Colin and Sarah are amazing hosts. Their evening platters and breakfasts are exceptional. Even chilled our limoncello for us! If you are after a quiet haven this is the place for you but still close enough to be amongst the distilleries and close to Aberlour.
This hotel is exceptional! The grounds are beautiful, the staff are so friendly and helpful, the morning coffee and breakfast were both delicious and the whiskey selection is CRAZY!! A must visit :)
Very good in all aspects - rooms, food, location, parking, bar and staff!
Breakfast is served personally with a menu which was very nice compared to the other places we stayed during our trip.
A gorgeous little hotel, with heaps of character and the perfect location. Food in the restaurant was also excellent. We were thrilled to have found the Mash Tun.
