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.

    A great accommodation choice in the heart of Dufftown. Everything was super-clean, the bathroom was literally 5 steps away from the room, comfortable beds, a nice view from the window, a nice welcome touch in the form of home-made cookies and a whisky dram, fresh still water, possibility to make a coffee/tea anytime, even a DVD with some selection in the 'lobby'. The breakfasts were great and on time. There basically isn't a single thing I could point out that was a disappointment.

    The hosts at the Gables are two of the friendliest and welcoming you will find anywhere. The house is spotlessly clean, the bed extremely comfortable, the breakfast delicious and plentiful, and there is a whisky room with over 450 choices!!! Nestled in the countryside about 2 miles outside of Dufftown the scenery is amazing and the the location perfect for touring Speyside and the distilleries. Book your stay TODAY!

    Excellent small B&B in a quiet location on the edge of town. We easily walked to the distilleries and the town centre for food and had a great stay. The house is in excellent condition and the rooms were modern but still kept the charm of the house in tact. Breakfast was lovely and the owners went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Highly recommended for anyone traveling in this part of Scotland.

    Nice spot in town center. Large room, well appointed. Proper glassware for a dram in the room is a nice touch. Co-Op right round the corner and a few lovely whisky shops. Easy walk to Glenfiddich and then the bus route also hits some great places like Highlander Inn and Fiddichside Inn. If you're adventurous take the 5 mile riverside walk from Craigellachie back to Dufftown, it was beautiful.

    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.

    I really enjoyed my stay at Morven, the room is exactly as shown in the pictures, clean and comfy, having a wee bit to sit outside was a bonus. Great location right in the centre of Dufftown, plenty of choice for food very close to house, cafe, restuarants, hotels an indian and a chinese. Quiet and peaceful. I would recommend Morven

    From the moment we arrived we were made to feel really welcome. Host is very friendly. Loved the b&b facility and the small fridge in the accommodation was very useful. We would book again if in the area and happily recommend to others. Very good location if you’re doing the whisky trail.

    Mortlach cottage is perfectly situated in the middle of Dufftown. You are in easy walking distance to shops and bars of the town. It is much bigger than a hotel room and you have the kitchen and the living room to get together. The cottage has a very Scotish charm to it. We loved it!

    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.
