    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.

    We really enjoyed our staying there. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly and addressed all our needs . Our room was so cozy that I stayed in and spent the whole afternoon reading a book. It was warm, clean and with a good shower in the toilette en-suite. The room was the right size and with a lovely bow window and it was equipped with all the facilities you may need. The bed was super comfy and huge. The hotel is very central and close to the river and stunning nature.

    The location is perfect to visit distilleries in Speyside. It is safe, private, and quiet. The hosts are nearby and they are responsive and welcoming. The room itself is more like a small house, homey and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is extraordinarily well equipped. There are thoughtful, cozy amenities all throughout. We stayed there on the coldest days of the year and there were many means to keep ourselves and the room warm.

    This was an amazing property and our room was extremely comfortable. We wished we could have stayed more than one night. The room was huge and everything was clean and thought out. Breakfast was delicious. My husband said the whisky porridge in the morning was the best thing he tasted in our 17 days in Scotland. The owners were very hospitable.

    The cottage is great, well-equipped and in a very convenient location, close enough to Aberlour to walk (and there's a walkway along the main road). The living room makes for a lovely place to chill at the end of a day exploring the area. And Michelle was a very good, responsive and at the same time discreet host.

    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!

    We were on a 4 week holiday with 3 weeks in Europe and a week in Scotland. Cardhu Country House was among the top hotel that we stayed in and we wished we would have stayed there our entire week in Scotland. The house was so comfortable and welcoming, breakfast was delicious and Dave and Val were wonderful!

    This is a lovely place to stay. Our room looked over the river and was very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent - I would recommend the fresh fruit salad and the cooked breakfast was tasty, freshly cooked and hot. Communication from the Mash Tun was great.

    A stunning house, set in a stone courtyard surrounded by beautiful countryside. The property is fresh and spotlessly clean throughout. The bedrooms are boutique hotel quality and everything is well equipped. Wifi signal was strong.

    Very comfortable property. Well appointed with everything that you need. Ideally located for a short walk into the village centre to access shops etc. We liked taking an evening walk along the river for a drink in the Mash Tun.
