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.
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.

We loved the country location and house - it was quite convenient having a very nice whisky distillery just a five minute walk away 😊. Other distilleries, fishing spots, restaurants etc. were quite close by car. Breakfast was delicious (perfect eggs) and our hosts could not have been nicer and more helpful. Sorry, I thought I reviewed earlier but I guess it didn’t go through. Highly recommend.

An amazing cottage - with such character and all the modern amenities. Our hosts had thought of everything - so many nice touches. Sharon and Kevin have done a masterful job on the Coachman's Cottage and we had plenty of room for a family of 4 adults. There was such great communication before, during, and after the trip that I felt like we had made new friends! So many great recommendations and the cottage is wonderfully suited central location from exploring the beaches in the north to the many whisky distilleries. The only thing we didn't like was . . . leaving!

The location was amazing and the property very clean with everything we needed for a short stay. Very peaceful and quiet with plenty around Aberlour and only a short trip to the coast or into the Cairngorms.

The Station hotel was the best hotel on our Speyside Way. The rooms were very comfortable and dinner and breakfast of high standard. We especially liked the pairing of food and whisky on the menu. Overall an excellent experience that comes with a price.

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.
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.
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.
Loved our stay here. Everyone at the Mash Tun was so friendly and the room was fantastic. Our room was spacious and clean, the view from the window out over the river was stunning and the bed was so comfy! The food in the restaurant for dinner is amazing, as was breakfast. I also accidentally left without paying (I felt absolutely awful) and Karen was very kind about the whole thing. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
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.
Had a really nice stay at Bankhouse.Jim and Eileen were good hosts,very helpful.
Bedroom nice and comfortable,great bathroom,and a small lounge area to relax,and a complimentary whisky :-)
In the centre of the village,short walk to a few restaurants,Aberlour distillery, and the river.
Highly recomended.
Good location to visit places although I was there to visit family.
Parking outside the door
Close to restaurants but try to book early. I arrived on the Saturday and couldn't get in anywhere in Aberlour or the next village Craigellachie. Drove quite a distance until I managed to get in somewhere.
Absolutely PERFECT in every way. Large, gorgeous, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean room. Several large windows which opened for fresh air and had fantastic views. Big bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Perfect location in center of Aberlour, next to river, and along the Speyside way.
Nice three star hotel in the home of my favorite Malt Whiskey (the Aberlour Distillery was not doing their usual visits due to staffing issues). Beautiful village near the beautiful Spey River. Free parking, lots to walk to. Walker's Shortbread (also made there) left in rooms.
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.
The location is great, very central to distilleries, restaurants and tourist spots in Speyside. Heating is amazing so no issues in cold weather. Our host was friendly, helpful and responsive. Would return without a doubt.
The location was amazing and the property very clean with everything we needed for a short stay. Very peaceful and quiet with plenty around Aberlour and only a short trip to the coast or into the Cairngorms.
Beautiful location in Aberlour Close to amenities and great roads for driving to the coast. Lovely static home, very clean and well equipped. We had a great time there and would visit again in the future.
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.
