Highlander Inn

Stayed in Craigellachie for a long weekend and enjoyed visiting this gem of a place every day. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, drinks too. If you enjoy a dram there is plenty choice, the staff were all friendly, helpful and made you feel at home.

I was working away from home at the Glenrothes Distillery and was struggling to find a place as this was the busy season and all the hotels I usually use up there were full. Phoned in to enquire and was told, we’re pretty busy but let’s see if I can mibbe shuffle things around, well he did and sorted me out for my three nights stay. So glad he did, gem of a place, big room and en-suite, great breakfast and evening meals, staff extremely friendly and polite also, in the bar, selection of whiskies impressive and also the staff’s knowledge of all the whiskies, Guinness at £4.40 a pint?? I was paying £6.40 in the Station Hotel, Rothes the week before. Was reluctant to leave in the end but had to. Also was kinda reluctant to leave a good review as I was selfish and not wanting this gem of a place to be unavailable next time I’m up there. Sleep no problem as very quiet.

This was a great find on our trip though the Highlands and we greatly enjoyed staying here. 2 Senior Sisters travelling together were welcomed in to the restaurant/ bar on the lower level as we wanted to try a whisky flight to sample whisky from the area.The bartender was most accomodating and took the time to help us select our 8 choices! And what a selection they have!! Food served in the bar on on the outside patio was delicious. A delicious hot breakfast made to roder was served in the first floor dining room. Our room with comfortable beds was large and so was the bathroom. Staff was great in helping us upstairs with our luggage. You won't be disappointed if you choose the Highlander Inn.We should have allowed another day or 2 in the Speyside region. Don't miss reserving a tour of the nearby Speyside Cooperage.

On occasion I stop here for dinner and drinks when I'm working in the area touring. The atmosphere is great and it's run by fantastic people. Delicious food and the whisky selection is fabulous too 😋🥃!! A huge collection of Japanese whisky too 😎

Went for a trip here to go visit a couple distilleries and absolutely love it here. The staff are exceptional and the location was perfect. The trail on the Spey River is right here and was able to walk to Aberlour, Macallan and Glen Allachie distillery (all with a 4km walk at most). The trail alone on the Spey River is super and very lush and enjoyable. The pub in the Inn was great and food was great. People all very friendly and made the stay absolutely perfect. Bed comfortable too. Will be going back here again for sure on my next Speyside Whisky trip.

We were staying in Craigellachie for a few days and had food each evening at The Highlander. Billy and his team made us so welcome and the food was lovely . A nice touch were complimentary drinks and a candle with my dessert on my birthday. Well worth a visit.
