The Craigellachie has a wonderfully old-fashioned, hunting-lodge atmosphere, from the wood-panelled lobby to the opulent drawing room where you can sink into a sofa in front of the log fire. But the big attraction for whisky connoisseurs is the Quaich Bar, a cosy nook filled with handcrafted furniture and lined with around 900 varieties of single malt whisky.
The hotel is a mile northeast of Aberlour, overlooking the River Spey.
