Ontvangst en gastvrijheid, rust rond de locatie, schoon, zeer netjes, ruime kamer, goed bedden en super ontbijt.
Nice room and shower, bed very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.
No dinner available on the weekend.
Colin’s hospitality, the setting, the fire in the sitting room, the views, the location close to Cardhu distillery and the thoughtfulness of the dinner arrangement and a good breakfast.
The room upstairs was a bit pokey and despite being fit and active 73 and 77 year olds, we would have preferred not to have to drag cases upstairs. We’re starting to feel a little nervous about unfamiliar stairs these days.
Great location and surrounding's - the host's are pleasant and friendly giving you all the information and recommendations you need.
Warm welcome, nice breakfast and comfortable room.

We hadden een heel aangenaam verblijf bij Sarah & Colin, we vonden de gesprekjes zeer aangenaam!De kamer was netjes en verzorgd en van alles voorzien. Het ontbijt was erg lekker, alsook hun diner. Alles wordt met liefde en verse ingrediënten bereid! De locatie is ook erg mooi en rustig. Toch zit je dichtbij Cairngorms National Park en verschillende distillery’s.
Niets, alles was in orde!
Colin ist ein super Gastgeber und bietet nicht nur ein klasse Frühstück an, sondern unter der Woche auch selbst gekochtes Abendessen. Die Unterkunft ist großzügig, das Haus liegt in einem großen Garten. Die wenigen Zimmer sind groß genug, die Betten sehr gut und mit einem schönen Bad ausgestattet. Das Cardhu-House ist unbedingt zu empfehlen.

Colin ist ein überaus freundlicher Gastgeber. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Wir hatten auch ein Mal Dinner, was auch sehr gut war. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und komfortabel. Das Bad war schön groß.
Die Beleuchtung im Zimmer war etwas zu dunkel für den großen Raum. Sonst war alles super.
Sehr freundlicher Empfang durch sympathischen Gastgeber Colin. Ruhige Lage im Grünen. Komfortable Zimmer. Besonders empfehlenswert ist neben dem Frühstück auch das Abendessen (3-Gänge Menu): Fish Platter oder House Platter. Parking direkt vor dem schönen Haus.
Meraviglioso edificio immerso nel verde, Mr Colin molto accogliente e gentile, colazione super.
Breakfast
Posto bellissimo, immerso nella campagna; letto comodo, camera e bagno enormi. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati. Ottima la colazione. Grazie mille, Colin! Torneremo certamente.
Our stay at Cardhu Country House was the highlight of our trip to Scotland. Colin and Sarah made us feel so warm and welcomed in their beautiful home. Breakfast and dinner are superb. Really can’t say enough good things about our experience! We hope to return!
Maravillosa casa en el pueblo de Cardhu muy cerca de la destileria. Los dueños super amables. El desayuno increíble. Nos recomendaron una destilería tradicional maravillosa. Un 10 en todo.
Great location close to the distillery! Colin was very welcoming and sorted taxis out for us at late notice!
Nothing, all good!
Das Ambiente, das Frühstück und der Gastgeber waren sehr gut. Wir haben uns direkt wohl gefühlt.
Nächste Restaurants oder Pubs können nur mit dem Auto erreicht werden. Der Gastgeber bietet allerdings in der Woche Abendessen an. Nur Samstag und Sonntag nicht
The room was very spacious and it was a bright and sunny location. The breakfast was good with ample food. Parking was very convenient with many spaces available.
It was a bit further out from town than we would have liked, but it was extremely quiet because of that. But you can hear your neighbors fairly easily. We arrived too early, and got a bit of a starchy welcome because of it. But the host was pleasant when we arrived back three hours later.
Wir hatten diese Unterkunft nicht zuletzt wegen der sehr guten Bewertungen ausgesucht und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön, das Zimmer war sehr wohnlich, Essen (sowohl Dinner als auch Frühstück) sehr gut und Colin und Sarah sind tolle Gastgeber.
Dass wir nur eine Nacht gebucht haben... Wir hätten gern noch länger hier verweilt.
Nice country house, the host is very friendly. The rooms are spacious, and clean

Great and cozy room, delicious breakfast, nice hosts. Big recommendation.
-We hebben nog nooit op zo een prachtige plaats geslapen! Zowel de omgeving als het huis was top. Idyllisch, rustig, wat je verwacht in de Highlands! -De gastheer was zeer vriendelijk en ontving ons alsof hij ons als jaren kende. -Het ontbijt (en avondeten) was zeer lekker. Dit was het beste verblijf van onze trip in Schotland, hier komen we zeker terug als we nog eens in de buurt zijn.

The property was luxurious in every way. The house is lovely. The rooms are large with all the amenities one could want. The food was delicious. Colin is extremely welcoming and generous of spirit. We were sad we could only stay one day.
Ideal location for surrounding distilleries
Very quiet
La jolie chambre Cragganmore : spacieuse, lumineuse, on s’y sent bien ! Le petit déjeuner était excellent Nos hôtes étaient adorables ! Vraiment !!!! Le logement est sublime !!!!

Een persoonlijk ontvangst van eigenaar Colin, Alles werd goed uitgelegd. We kregen een ruime kamer met een heerlijk groot bed. Kamer heeft een zitje en je kijkt heerlijk de tuin in. Koffie en thee faciliteiten op de kamer en we kregen ook nog thee geserveerd in de lounge. Een grote badkamer met een regendouche ( ik miste persoonlijk wel een handdouche) Heerlijk ontbijt, yoghurt met homemade granola en toost. Daarbij nog de keuze uit verschillende warme gerechten. Onze zalm met roerei en de gevulde omelet waren heerlijk. Ze hebben 6 kamers en een lounge waar je gebruik van kan maken. Helaas in het weekend geen diner service maar we kregen verschillende tips voor andere restaurants. Parkeren kan gratis op eigen terrein. Zeker een aanrader om hier eens te verblijven.
Klein tipje; een haakje voor de handdoek naast de wastafel.
Beautiful house and wonderful, spacious rooms. We loved it. One evening, we had dinner at the guest house and the food was delicious. We even got a vegan option. At night, it was peacefully quiet and the beds were very comfortable. Colin is a great host. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute.
very cute house-turned-BnB, with a green garden. The owners operate the property themselves, and even cook you breakfast on demand! Nice lounge area with fireplace also available for guests.
shower system was a bit difficult to use
Zimmer wunderschön und liebevoll eingerichtete. Sehr sauber. Die Gastgeber absolut freundlich. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.
High quality hotel, located perfectly for the Cardhu distillery and the Speyside way path.
Price versus alternatives in the area, food options only available on request.
Colin!
es hat uns alles gefallen!
taille de la chambre et accueil des propriétaires . Salle de bain et peignoir et serviette de trés belle qualité PDJ vraiment trés bon demeure de charme

Wunderschönes Anwesen, top gepflegt, tolles Zimmer, sehr netter und freundlicher Kontakt, super Abendessen, hat alles bestens gepasst. Nur zu empfehlen, vielen Dank!
Beautiful, quiet part of Dufftown with wonderful breakfast cooked by the owners themselves!
A far drive from Skye but no fault of the property!
The welcome The food The facilities The view The quiet
Gostamos de tudo! Da simpatia, do atendimento, da cordialidade, do conforto! E o lugar é um charme, além de ficar a boa distância de muitas destilarias. Com lindas estradas!
Gostamos de tudo!

Ottimo posto per rilassarsi. Proprietari molto gentili. Bellissima la zona relax e la sala da pranzo con una colazione ottima preparata fresca con prodotti di qualità. Consigliatissimo! Non vediamo l'ora di tornarci
Lovely place - sweet cosy rooms and well equipped. Colin was a great host, very attentive and helpful, and the location was beautiful! Highly recommended! Also - beds were extra comfy (:
Struttura elegante e accogliente, vista camera e sala ristorante molto bella, staff molto amichevole, cena e colazione buoni
Ein wunderschönes B&B mit unglaublich netten Hausherren, die ihren Job lieben. Die Zimmer sind unglaublich geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Ein rundum Wohlfühlpaket!
Lovely country house, we felt very welcome as we were greeted upon arrival. Rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend staying. Colin was the perfect host-his tips for dinner and local sites was perfect
Nothing to complain about

Highly recommend. It was a brilliant visit
Le personnel était charmant
Location meravigliosa, Colin e Sara sono gentilissimi ed accoglienti. La stanza era pulitissima. Abbiamo anche cenato da loro ed il cibo era magnifico. Consigliato a chiunque voglia godersi lo Speyside al meglio.
Colin our host was very welcoming and good not do more for us.
No alcohol license.
Próximo a algumas destilarias de whisky parecendo uma fazenda
Bem simples assim como o café da manhã . O proprietário bem educado mas como um todo , deixou a desejar
Beautiful house and gorgeous rooms
Location was just lovely! Colin and Sarah could not have been more helpful. The rooms were very well appointed and the en-suite facilities were great too. Breakfast in the morning was a real highlight - especially the porridge made from whisky soaked oats!
Our lovely rooms were on the second floor at the top of the house, which wasn't ideal for my older parents as they struggled a bit with the stairs - on reflection I should have checked that their room would not require more than one flight of stairs to reach.
Besides been beautiful, its cozy and the hospitality is amazing Do recomend the dinner experience
Itsquite unfair to say something i didnt like Maybe the stairs?
It's the perfect place to stay in Speyside.
Diese Unterkunft in Speyside ist sehr zu empfehlen. Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und kocht ein ausgezeichnetes Dinner und serviert ein leckeres Frühstück
We had a wonderful stay! The location is perfect—close to all the Speyside attractions yet tucked away in a peaceful rural setting. Our host was wonderful, so welcoming and full of great tips for places to eat, beautiful walks, and of course, whisky tastings. The country house itself is stunning, with beautifully appointed and spacious rooms that had everything we needed. The meals were a highlight, featuring fresh, local ingredients prepared to perfection. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Speyside!
Tout était super, le lieu, les personnes, le petit déjeuner
Location was lovely. Colin was an excellent host. Room was excellent. As was breakfast.
Lack of in house dining on the night we visited meant a £50 return taxi for our evening meal. Thus was not obvious to us at the time of booking.
Fine rural location close to Macallan.Owners are great hosts
Our stay was fabulous, beautiful country house very clean and very comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and the hosts are fabulous. Homemade shortbread in room so good with tea and coffee facilities.
Collin, son accueil, sa sympathie, l'emplacement, le confort, le soin apporté au bien-être de ses hôtes
Outstanding!! I felt completely taken care of there. My food allergies usually throw a wrench into things, but Colin and Sarah put a lot of effort into making sure I had as many wonderful dishes as everyone else. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing as was the stuffed pastry dinner and delicious coleslaw. I can’t recommend this place enough. 👏👏 well done ❤️
Schöne, individuell eingerichtete Zimmer, neues, modernes Badezimmer, bequeme Betten und tolles á la carte Frühstück
Fantastic Experience! Colin and Sarah were wonderful hosts. The room was large and comfortable. The food was excellent, make sure to book a dinner! We needed an early start and they accommodated us with an early breakfast (also excellent food). If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This hotel is also within walking distance to the Cardhu distillery so that is a nice perc as well.
The Host Colin was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious as was dinner. The grounds were lovely with lots of walks nearby.
We missed out on a whiskey tour but that was bad planning on my part. More info on local tastings and tours maybe.
Les repas étaient vraiment délicieux! La chambre était bien équipée et le lit très confortable!
À vrais dire, nous avons tout aimé!
Fantastic surrounding. Charming and cozy, the room, the food were perfect. Thank you to both hosts Sarah and Collins.
Colin and Sarah were fantastic! The room was incredibly clean, and the included breakfast was wonderful. We opted for the dinner and it was excellent as well.
Loved this country house!! Perfect location close to a wide variety of distilleries! Colin and Sarah were extremely welcoming and the food was amazing! Lovely country home!! Would definitely stay here again when visiting Scotland.
