Highland Spirit Bed and Breakfast

Highland Spirit is a charming, historical building built in 1830 with many original features. It is the number one rated place to stay in Moray, Speyside and Dufftown and 4-star GOLD Visit Scotland accredited. It has been refurbished to a very high standard with superb beds and showers. All rooms are superking. The two front rooms - the Exciseman and the Architect - have excellent eastwards views down Glenfiddich. The rear part was a Bank. The Bank Manager Room looks back over the rooftops to the iconic Clock Tower. Glenfiddich and Balvenie Distillery Tours are within village walking distance. Many other distilleries, such as Macallan, Glenlivet, Carhu are close. Non-Whisky attractions include Knockando Woolen Mill, Johnstons of Elgin, Ballindalloch Castle, the Speyside Cooperage and Balvenie Castle. Dufftown has its own Golf Course. Highland Spirit is perfectly placed only 2 minutes walk from the village centre yet its long driveway and large gardens give it a very peaceful and calm ambience.

The ideal place to explore the Speyside !

Reviewed By pierrelP6112JT

If you want to explore this whisky paradise, this is the place to book! Located in Dufftown, you are ideally placed for short drives to any distillery you'd like to visit. Karen and Alistair are amazing hosts, looking after every detail to make your stay as perfect as possible. The rooms have a lot of space, super clean, with a very nice view on the valley, and the garden. A special mention to the bed large and comfy ! The shower works well and is easy to use. Karen knows really how to treat you for breakfast, everything is fresh, as local as possible, home made (the granola !!). Besides , both of them are extremely knowledgeable about their region and Scotland in general. They were great advisors in helping us choose what we could do and make it happen. Alistair made possible our dinner at the Seven Stills restaurant in Dufftown, which was great. And they do all this in a very friendly and non intrusive manner. We definitely recommend it .

Restaurant quality food!!!

Reviewed By Coloneill

Visited for a fishing trip. 3rd visit to Castle View and as always Ian and Betty were the perfect hosts. The food is always amazing including lots of local produce but Ian has now raised the bar by introducing a selection of tasting menus. The meal he served up was high end restaurant quality and a real treat so if you book make sure you book this in as you will not be disappointed!! Heading back later this year. Really peaceful spot, close to Dufftown centre, beautiful rooms, beautiful gardens, a real gem!!!

Dufftown nestles in a valley dominated by Ben Rinnes (840m/2755ft) and has the highest concentration of distilleries anywhere in Scotland.

We can offer 2 x double, en-suite rooms and a twin room with private facilities. We also offer our guests free WiFi internet connection.

Classy little B&B. Room was quite nice. A sample of scotch provided in the room. Owner/hostess Theresa was amazingly charming, funny, professional and fast at taking care of everything. Theresa is a passionate gardener who grows so many fresh ingredients for her cooking. Breakfast was outstanding and she has homemade jams that are delicious.

Lovely cottage in peaceful location

Reviewed By Jock-Holiday

Lovely, comfortable, clean cottage In a wonderful, peaceful location just outside Dufftown. Great views from the garden overlooking the surrounding countryside. The friendly helpful owners live in the house next door, on hand for any help or enquiries but not intrusive at all. Some great local walks and of course several distilleries to visit in the nearby area. Didn’t want to leave this tranquil place and can’t wait to return.

Wonderful base for our wedding weekend trip <3

Reviewed By EstherH12345

We can't thank Linda enough for her hospitality. She was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to help us. The bedroom was super clean, quiet, beautiful and with a charming view. Did we mention the ultra comfortable bed? We're giving it at least a 10 star rating. Waking up to the snow outside our window was our favourite part each morning. We want to praise Linda, also, for the delightful and delicious breakfast that she serves in the dining hall. Perfectly laid out with a menu of items to choose, that met our vegetarian needs. Fresh fruits, a variety of drinks, coffee, tea, eggs - you name it. We came with a group who were staying in a larger busier hotel near by, and we were so much happier with our own cozy choice, to come home each day to our quiet countryside experience in this bnb. Thank you Linda for being so attentive to every detail. Conval House was such a big part of our Scotland experience and we're sure to be back :)
