Craigellachie Hotel

This property offers the rare opportunity to savour the style and elegance of a by-gone era, combined with all the comforts of a first-class hotel.

All the public rooms have been lovingly restored using fine fabrics and high quality period furnishings and all bedrooms have been beautifully refurbished to very high standards, providing a graceful, yet homely ambience for you to relax in.

At the basement level of the hotel you will discover the hotel’s atmospheric restaurant and other bar, the Copper Dog, which offers the best in local produce and where possible supplies are sourced from a 40 mile radius of the hotel. The bar is well stocked with a great range of local whiskies, craft beers and a selection of real Scottish ales from local breweries.

Dowans Hotel

A grand Victorian Mansion with sixteen en-suite rooms, ranging from cosy singles to eloquently styled king and super-size doubles. Every room has tea and coffee making facilities, a flat-screen television, free Wi-Fi and en-suite bathroom or shower stocked with complimentary toiletries. There are two restaurants, open to both in-house guests and non-residents: ’57’ offers everyday dining of the highest quality, whilst Spé offers that extra soupçon of formality and exclusivity for that extra special occasion. Using all fresh ingredients sourced locally, the menus mix traditional Scottish fare with cuisines from around the world. The two bars, however, are pure Highlands: The Still, stocked with over five hundred single malt whiskies, including, for the connoisseur, a 1940 Macallan and a 1953 Glen Grant, and MBar, with beers from the micro-breweries hereabouts such as Spey Valley, Windswept and the Cairngorm Brewery, along with one or two rarities for you to sample.
