• Roderick (9/5): - Colin our host was very welcoming and good not do more for us. No alcohol license.
• Stephanie (9/5): Cardhu House - a beautiful stay in the Scottish Highlands - 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.
• Marie (10/5): We loved our stay and would highly recommend! - Beautiful house and gorgeous rooms
• paulo (8/5): Distante de tudo , confortável - 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

• Vincent (9/5): Parfait - Tout était super, le lieu, les personnes, le petit déjeuner
• Jeremy (10/5): Wonderful Stay in Speyside - 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!
• douglas (8/5): Stopped at the property after a nearby distillery visit and thoroughly enjoyed the stop - 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.
• John (10/5): - Fine rural location close to Macallan.Owners are great hosts
• BLANC Jean-Pierre (10/5): - Collin, son accueil, sa sympathie, l'emplacement, le confort, le soin apporté au bien-être de ses hôtes
• william (10/5): Fabulous Country House - 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.
• Lorrie (10/5): - 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 ❤️
• Claus-Peter (10/5): Tolle Landhaus Unterkunft im Rosamunde-Pilcher Stil - Schöne, individuell eingerichtete Zimmer, neues, modernes Badezimmer, bequeme Betten und tolles á la carte Frühstück
• ALEJANDRA (10/5): -
• Debra (10/5): 11 out of 1 - 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.
• Céline (10/5): Cet établissement répond exactement à ce que nous nous attendions d’un B&B typiquement écossait! - Les repas étaient vraiment délicieux! La chambre était bien équipée et le lit très confortable! À vrais dire, nous avons tout aimé!
• PHILLIP (10/5): Great location and friendly hosts. - 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.
• Laura (10/5): Beautiful, luxury property and wonderful hosts -
• Dominique (10/5): - Fantastic surrounding. Charming and cozy, the room, the food were perfect. Thank you to both hosts Sarah and Collins.

• Walter (10/5): -
• Bart (10/5): Luxury without pretension - Everything! A beautiful home in a calm, secluded area. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home here. A warm welcome from Colin, a delicious dinner of locally sourced and homemade food, a large room with so many nice touches, and a hearty breakfast (ohhh that whisky porridge!). Luxury without pretension. Perfect! Nothing!
• Hatas (10/5): An incredible place with excellent hosts - The property is perfectly situated in the middle of whisky country. Our hosts Colin&Sarah were super accommodating with all our requests, advised us on tours not to be missed. Everything was spotless clean, beds super comfy, breakfasts just great. We dined there twice as well and were very satisfied. I would absolutely recommend this place and stay again.
• James (10/5): -

• Cristina (10/5): -
• Matteo (6/5): -
• Angela (10/5): -
• Ozan (10/5): - Harika tek kelime ile
• daniele (10/5): Un'oasi di comfort e simpatia nello Speyside. Gestori attenti e professionali. Ottime colazioni. -
• Dennis (10/5): Geweldig - Het beste verblijf tot nu toe tijdens onze rondreis door Schotland wat een mooie plek en aardige mensen het ontbijt is geweldig helemaal op maat gemaakt!! Eigenlijk niets te klagen!! Wellicht dat er geen restaurants vlakbij zijn aberlour is 15 minuten autorijden
• Elisabeth Liesbeth (10/5): Highlight of our vacation! - The house is very comfortable, location is perfect. The bathrobes in the bathroom were a great touch. Shower was nice and strong. We were welcomed by Collin and unfortunately we were not able to have dinner at the location, however we were sent to a friend at the 1881 restaurant and that was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was delicious, with plenty of choices. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay another night, because all rooms were booked. We will come back next year!
• Konstantinos Ion (10/5): Simply exceptional! - Every detail is thought and taken care of! We stayed with my family for one night during our roadtrip to Scotland. Starting with the location in the middle of the countryside, the house is beautiful and very stylishly decorated. The rooms are very spacious and the view of the countryside out of the windows very relaxing. They are impeccably clean with very comfortable beds and fresh smelling towels. Our breakfast was superb! Colin, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful. We will certainly recommend Cardhu Country House to our friends and we will return for a longer stay! There is nothing to not like about Cardhu Country House!
• Serena (10/5): Location magica - Stupenda struttura in mezzo alla campagna, ben arredata e accogliente. Il proprietario è stato estremamente di supporto per indicarci posti da visitare e altro. Eccellente colazione!
• Ronak (10/5): - Fantastic place. Will stay again.
• Peter (10/5): Romantischer Whisky-Trail - Einfach alles. Top-Landhaus. Collin hat mit seiner Frau sehr leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen gezaubert. Wir hatten aufgrund eines Sturmes Stromausfall für einen Tag und trotzdem hat alles super geklappt. Collin hat das Essen auf einem Campingkocher zubereitet. War super!
• Stephen Cronk (8/5): - Very friendly, had a fun evening with Colin
• Chiara (9/5): - Accoglienza, cura dei dettagli, pulizia e colazione
• Maria (10/5): Absolutely delightful - The communication before we arrived was great. When we arrived the owner, Colin was there to greet us and to explain a few things about keys and breakfast. The building is impressive both outside and in. Built in the 1880s, used as a manse and then owned by a well-known family before the current owners' family acquired it. It is clear that there has been a lot of attention paid to this country house. The rooms are spacious and well decorated and furnished with lovely period furniture. It blends the old with the new in a magical way. The bedrooms are equally tasteful - large comfortable beds, fluffy pillows and crisp white linen. Tea and coffee making facilities with quality shortbread. Big windows with shuttering. It was wonderful. The bathroom was very well done. A huge walk in shower, a drench shower head, lovely shower gel and shampoo and plenty towels. Breakfast was beautifully done. Amongst our group we had the compote / yoghurt / granola to start and then various of us had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, full Scottish breakfast and so on. Quality ingredients and very well presented. In the early evening we sat outside by the lawns and later on came in to the lounge. They do not sell alcohol but we were allowed to bring our own and Colin very kindly provided glassware and ice. This is a truly superb place to visit. I cannot wait to come again. Thank you. Nothing at all

• bruno (10/5): If you travel to the Spey river, stay there for sure - Everything. Really Quiet, cosy. We felt we were friends with the owner Colin. For a non British couple, His English is perfectly understandable with no strong Scottish accent as it could be in this Scotland’s countryside. MUST GO if you visit the region Nothing particular
