First of all, Theresa, she was so perfect about treating us. We felt like we are friends and family rather than visitors. The room and the bathroom was beyond clean. :) We fell in love with the details, from the complementary capsule coffees to the usb and electric outlets installed on the nightstand. Breakfast was delicious and fresh.

    There is only 1 Bar in Dufftown and it’s basic but has a dart board but that’s your lot.now as others lost business to Covid. There’s an Indian which is average and take away which is basic. Advise to book places to eat in Aberlour to avoid disappointment. Whisky tours only accept online bookings.

    The people were friendly.

    The people were friendly. Unfortunately the tourist information office had been shut down. There were plenty of distilleries nearby if you had a car. There were good walking tracts if you had a medium level of fitness. There is only one pub as far as I know but I would recommend the restaurant as the food which was excellent.

    Charming little town in the heart of whisky country!

    Charming little town in the heart of whisky country! Glenfiddich Distillery with its excellent visitor facilities situated in the town and several other distilleries open to view in the locality. An interesting ruin, Balvenie Castle, to explore on the outskirts of the town. Dufftown also boasts its own heritage railway which is definitely worth a visit. Beautiful walks and lovely scenery around the town.

    Only a few restaurants in and around town make sure you reserve ahead. If you plan on going to the distillery's or the Speyside cooperage also make sure you book ahead. Dufftown golf course is public and is nearby and will rent you decent clubs. Great course. ACE taxis if you had too much good Whisky.

    We stayed for 8 nights during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky...

    We stayed for 8 nights during the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival and the location was pretty central for many of the events. Lots of lovely places to visit during the day in the surrounding area. Loved the Dufftown Glassworks, a little coffeeshop come art gallery, and the Seven Stills restaurant was extremely good for a special meal. There are only three places left in Dufftown serving hot food in the evening - even the local chippie has closed down. The only cafe, The Coffee Pot, opens at 9am (10am at the weekend), which was too late for us for breakfast, and closes at 3pm, so we didn't use it during our visit. Everything else has closed down and there are no signs of any other businesses moving in to take their place. The only other option for an evening meal is to go further afield, and the buses stop running very early evening, so you have to either drive or take a cab. We were there for the whisky festival, so driving was obviously out of the question, and the taxi cabs were totally booked up (because it was the whisky festival...). We were fortunate that we had cooking facilities at our accommodation and could make do. Pretty disappointed with the public transport. I believe that they put on extra services in previous years for the festival, but not this year. Even one single late bus would have been useful - on the biggest week of the year for tourism the last bus leaving Elgin for Dufftown was 6.35pm!

    The town is beautiful and clean, but we couldn’t find a restaurant which was open at around 14:30 on a Tuesday after we finished our whiskey tour. None of the nearby castles were open. I’d avoid being there on a Monday or Tuesday as most restaurants only open on Wednesdays.

    No trip to Whiskey country in Scotland is complete without a visit to Dufftown, and The Whiskey Capital Inn is the perfect place to stay. This wonderful old building is lovingly cared for by the staff and is quiet and peaceful. We had a lovely evening walk in a woods less than half a mile up the hill from the hotel. The other hidden treasure in Dufftown is the historic train that runs from Dufftown to Keith. This short trip is relaxing and harkens back to a slower time and is worth every minute.

    The location of the cottage is great - right out of Dufftown in the center of main highlands' distilleries with easy excess to all of them (theoretically), so in case if you want some activities you can easily reach the town and in case if you just want to have your own time in calm surrounding you can stay in and around cottage. Cottage has a nice small fireplace and one basket of logs offered free of charge.

    Nice spot in town center. Large room, well appointed. Proper glassware for a dram in the room is a nice touch. Co-Op right round the corner and a few lovely whisky shops. Easy walk to Glenfiddich and then the bus route also hits some great places like Highlander Inn and Fiddichside Inn. If you're adventurous take the 5 mile riverside walk from Craigellachie back to Dufftown, it was beautiful.

    The location was great, lovely fantastic spacious room, spotlessly clean. The host was friendly and very helpful, I slept so well I thought I was at home, the bed was very comfortable. Great place to stay would highly recommend and would visit again. To Make a point I work all over the UK and stay in many hotel's and B&B's and this is at the very top of places I have ever stayed in. 10/10

    The location was within minutes of the centre of Dufftown. Linda, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and the room was spacious and very clean. As well the location was great for getting to nearby towns, local whisky distilleries and the Speyside cooperage.

    It's a cosy holiday home situated in a quiet corner of Dufftown with beautiful views. There were more than enough essentials such as washing up liquid, soaps etc. Clear instructions were left and contact was easy if we needed anything.

    We didn’t know Dufftown was the capital of whiskey distillery country, and the road route we took via Grantown on Spee was exceptional. A very memorable stay. and the staff at the pub and the whiskey restaurant behind were great too.
