Recommended by guest: We visited the Station Hotel for dinner & whisky which is only a few miles from the cottage. It has recently been renovated and well worth a visit.

Walk a little part of the Speyside Way from Aberlour to Craigellachie easy 2.5 miles pub/food at each end and dead flat. Can be a little muddy if wet. Craigellachie is 5 miles from the cottage. Park down slip road just across the main bridge over the river Spey. The Highlander Inn white building 500 yards can be accessed just off the Speyside Way. The Mash Tun pub is at Aberlour just after the old railway station.
