"I’ve always said that we wanted to create a hotel that makes you feel at home when you arrive, and when you leave we want you to feel like you can’t wait to return.

“Health and wellbeing is something we strongly encourage here at The Craigellachie Hotel, the location lends itself to reconnect with nature and find peace and tranquillity in your surroundings.

"From forest walks along the Speyside Way to wild salmon fishing on the Spey with our local Gillie only a short walk from the hotel’s doorstep, there is so much to be explored.

"We hope guests will leave with a positive, relaxed and healthy outlook after your stay with us. The ultimate Speyside experience awaits.”
