Green Hall Gallery Bed and Breakfast
Craigellachie
Banffshire
Scotland

Perfect accommodation for May 2008 Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival!

Stewart and Maggie offer an especially warm welcome to their home in Craigellachie, an ideal location from which to spend a few days exploring the castles, whiskey distilleries, abbeys and countryside of this part of the Highlands of Scotland. Their traditional house overlooks the River Spey (and has steps from the garden down to the Speyside Way, a walkers' trail along the river Spey), and the wooden hall (above;) on the side is their Gallery, The Green Hall Gallery, where they exhibit hundreds of prints, watercolours, and oil paintings; all their own work (...more about the Gallery at the bottom of this page).

The small village of Craigellachie is one of the prettiest in Scotland. Spanning the river below is the remarkable iron bridge built by Telford in 1814. This area is the heart of the Malt Whisky Trail, and concentrated within a few miles are more distilleries than any other area in Scotland, many of them open to visitors. Stewart is a member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society!

The beds are all furnished with Egyptian cotton sheets and pillows and the double and twin beds all have goose-down duvets. Every room has its own tea/coffee making facilities and fresh milk and biscuits will greet your arrival. There is also a hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner in each room.

Right;
Upstairs bedroom with 2 beds and private adjoining shower room, en suite.

A few minutes walk from the Green Hall Gallery, and over the narrow stone bridge across the Water of Fiddich is one of Scotland's genuinely unspoilt traditional village pubs, The Fiddichside Inn. Also close by are the Highlander Inn and Craigellachie Hotel both of which serve evening meals.

Stewart and Maggie are always very happy to help find good places to eat, and advise on places to visit. For instance, on the other side of the river is the Macallan distillery (regarded by many as the Rolls Royce of malts). Also nearby is Cragganmore distillery (open June to September).

Right;
Extra bedroom, which is next to the bedroom above.

As well as touring the area by car, there are wonderful walks and many places to visit on foot... or you can rent a bicycle. Maggie and Stewart recommend you try to stay for a few days, there's so much to see and do!
