Conval House Bed And Breakfast, hotel in Dufftown

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Conval House Bed And Breakfast offers accommodation in Dufftown. Free private parking is available on site.

The location is so picturesque and well worth the visit. Not much to do of an evening although if we were staying longer a taxi into another town would’ve been fine. Linda as our host was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble. The balance of attentiveness and allowing one’s own space was second to none. The breakfast was top class and delicious. Oh and the bed was so comfy we didn’t want to get out of it. Same goes for the shower. Powerful and hot. I wish ours was this good!

    There is only 1 Bar in Dufftown and it’s basic but has a dart board but that’s your lot.now as others lost business to Covid. There’s an Indian which is average and take away which is basic. Advise to book places to eat in Aberlour to avoid disappointment. Whisky tours only accept online bookings.

    The people were friendly.

    The people were friendly. Unfortunately the tourist information office had been shut down. There were plenty of distilleries nearby if you had a car. There were good walking tracts if you had a medium level of fitness. There is only one pub as far as I know but I would recommend the restaurant as the food which was excellent.

    Charming little town in the heart of whisky country!

    Charming little town in the heart of whisky country! Glenfiddich Distillery with its excellent visitor facilities situated in the town and several other distilleries open to view in the locality. An interesting ruin, Balvenie Castle, to explore on the outskirts of the town. Dufftown also boasts its own heritage railway which is definitely worth a visit. Beautiful walks and lovely scenery around the town.

    Only a few restaurants in and around town make sure you reserve ahead. If you plan on going to the distillery's or the Speyside cooperage also make sure you book ahead. Dufftown golf course is public and is nearby and will rent you decent clubs. Great course. ACE taxis if you had too much good Whisky.

    We stayed for 8 nights during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky...

    We stayed for 8 nights during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival and the location was pretty central for many of the events. Lots of lovely places to visit during the day in the surrounding area. Loved the Dufftown Glassworks, a little coffeeshop come art gallery, and the Seven Stills restaurant was extremely good for a special meal. There are only three places left in Dufftown serving hot food in the evening - even the local chippie has closed down. The only cafe, The Coffee Pot, opens at 9am (10am at the weekend), which was too late for us for breakfast, and closes at 3pm, so we didn't use it during our visit. Everything else has closed down and there are no signs of any other businesses moving in to take their place. The only other option for an evening meal is to go further afield, and the buses stop running very early evening, so you have to either drive or take a cab. We were there for the whisky festival, so driving was obviously out of the question, and the taxi cabs were totally booked up (because it was the whisky festival...). We were fortunate that we had cooking facilities at our accommodation and could make do. Pretty disappointed with the public transport. I believe that they put on extra services in previous years for the festival, but not this year. Even one single late bus would have been useful - on the biggest week of the year for tourism the last bus leaving Elgin for Dufftown was 6.35pm!

    The town is beautiful and clean, but we couldn’t find a restaurant which was open at around 14:30 on a Tuesday after we finished our whiskey tour. None of the nearby castles were open. I’d avoid being there on a Monday or Tuesday as most restaurants only open on Wednesdays.

    This was our favorite B&B of the whole 2 week trip and if we could give it more than 10/10 we would! Linda is a phenomenal host and really made us feel welcome. Rooms were spacious, very clean, and had both all the amenities plus a few extra touches! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and had vegetarian options which were excellent. It is very well located in Dufftown, which is central to all of Speyside and especially good for the Whiskey Trail if you’re a fan of whiskey. We’d definitely stay here again!

    The room was gorgeous, very nicely decorated and equipped and included complimentary whisky and homemade flapjacks, which were delicious! The private bathroom was also incredible! It is well situated, Dufftown is truly beautiful and there is a lot to do around. Theresa was very welcoming and friendly and very nice to chat with, and she even shared the recipe for the flapjacks with us and I can't forget to mention a yummy full Scottish breakfast!! It was a great value for the price! Thank you, Theresa!

    The photos do not do this place justice! Everything about this place is phenomenal! I wish we had stayed longer as this was my favorite stay from our 2 week trip through Scotland. The bathtub was glorious - my husband even took a bath! the decor is absolutely stunning and eclectic and the host took time to share about select pieces and history. Also the salmon and egg breakfast was TO DIE FOR. I am still thinking about it, 3 weeks later. Also happy to have purchased an art print from the host.

    The location was great, lovely fantastic spacious room, spotlessly clean. The host was friendly and very helpful, I slept so well I thought I was at home, the bed was very comfortable. Great place to stay would highly recommend and would visit again. To Make a point I work all over the UK and stay in many hotel's and B&B's and this is at the very top of places I have ever stayed in. 10/10

    The cottage was beautifully developed and decorated to a very high standard. There was also a great outside space and we made use of the BBQ. Dufftown is a great wee town and we walked our wee dog’s legs off! Weather was terrific when we were there, but we would have enjoyed our stay nonetheless, as there’s so much to do and see in Moray. Thoroughly recommend this cottage

    Theresa was a wonderful host, very fun and accommodating. The room had tea and coffee, and there was a lovely dram of scotch in the room! Great location for visiting Speyside distilleries and countryside. The private bathroom was external, but it was large and well appointed.

    It's a cosy holiday home situated in a quiet corner of Dufftown with beautiful views. There were more than enough essentials such as washing up liquid, soaps etc. Clear instructions were left and contact was easy if we needed anything.
