Dunvegan Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Dufftown

Housed in a historic building, Dunvegan Bed & Breakfast features accommodations with a shared lounge and free Wifi in Dufftown, 14 miles from Huntly Castle.

First of all, Theresa, she was so perfect about treating us. We felt like we are friends and family rather than visitors. The room and the bathroom was beyond clean. :) We fell in love with the details, from the complementary capsule coffees to the usb and electric outlets installed on the nightstand. Breakfast was delicious and fresh.

Conval House Bed And Breakfast, hotel in Dufftown

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

The Conval House is an exceptional to stay. The proprietor, Linda' was was a truly lovely lady who was most helpful to me in my visit. She reminded me of the joy in staying at a Bed & Breakfast rather than an impersonal hotel. In addition to first rate accommodations, the breakfast was truly exceptional. First time I ever had cooked cherry tomatoes--delicious. The bottom line is that I couldn't think of anything I didn't like about Conval House. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    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.

    Great attention to detail, friendly and considerate staff going beyond expectations. Breakfast can be customised in detail on the menu to avoid food wastage. All food was of high quality including homemade preserves. Extensive hot drink selection provided in room, a decanter of complementary whisky, home baking and even a small drinks fridge. Room/bed cozy and comfortable. All in all amazing value for money compared to hotel chains.

    The location of the cottage is great - right out of Dufftown in the center of main highlands' distilleries with easy excess to all of them (theoretically), so in case if you want some activities you can easily reach the town and in case if you just want to have your own time in calm surrounding you can stay in and around cottage. Cottage has a nice small fireplace and one basket of logs offered free of charge.

    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

    Andy & Laura have gone above and beyond to create such a beautiful, welcoming and special space. The furnishings and design are exquisite. I wish we had stayed longer! Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Quiet town, but the location was perfect for exploring the distilleries in Speyside. There was a great Indian restaurant around the corner.

    In the heart of whisky country!! Just an amazing location in Dufftown, with no less than six distilleries within walking distance. And the staff is super helpful and really knows a lot about whisky, the area and the distilleries. Visit the neighboring towns with distilleries either by car or by bus. Really loved the experience, thanks Steve & Jo!

    We liked the location of the hotel and the room was very clean. Breakfast was excellent and all the staff were really friendly. We did not use the restaurant but the menu looked really nice. There is also a great Indian restaurant just across the road. On street parking outside the door was good. Nice selection of beers in the bar.

    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.
