“This was a truly unique holiday house with everything you could want and more.”

Very generous hosts left us a luxury hamper. We all enjoyed the hot tub... under the stars too. The barbecue pavilion was wonderful right next to the river. All modern electronic conveniences blending perfectly to make it just perfect.The experience will stay as a treasured memory.

“We arrived after a long journey to a wonderful warm welcome from the hosts.”

They showed us the stunning cottage, what it had to offer and how the many high end appliances functioned. The hot tub was the best we had ever used. Everything worked perfectly, the lights, jets, massage functions, it maintained heat perfectly, etc. The BBQ hut was very well set out at the side of the magnificent river Spey. We had some lovely alfresco meals sat at the picnic table situated at the side of the hut. Inside the cottage was an array of modern and contemporary features which left us wanting for nothing. From the Bose and Sonos blue tooth speaker systems to the beautiful range cooker. The only problem we had was choosing wether to spend time exploring this stunning part of Scotland or whether to spend time relaxing in this wonderful cottage and it's beautiful setting. We managed to split our time between the two which made for an unforgettable holiday. Our Two boys aged 10 and 14 had a great time and would love to return, as do we. My youngest boy fished the river Spey at Aberlour Town Water beat for a very good price. He caught 2 Salmon and I was very jealous but extremely proud of him. It isn't just the lodgings and scenery that make a place special, it's the hosts and Paul and Iona had the right balance of been welcoming, pleasant and very helpful without intruding upon your precious holiday time as a family. A holiday we will never forget. We will be back. The Gill's Leeds.

“Paul & Iona have created a beautiful holiday cottage which was extremely comfortable and homely - its clear they have spent a lot of time, money, effort and love into creating a very relaxing and high quality environment.”

We very much enjoyed the warm welcome from the hosts, the hot tub, BBQ hut, peaceful surrounding grounds and the views across the River Spey. Craigellachie was an excellent location to explore the local area with so many great visitor attractions and walks nearby. Having the pubs, tennis courts, play area and bridge all within a short walk of the cottage was great for us. Our family had a fantastic time and we would highly recommend this cottage to others.

“And say ahhhh”

Stayed here with my partner in June. Amazing location. Amazing cottage. Right next to The River Spey. Paul a d Iona are great host. Worth a walk up Speyside way to Aberlour. distillery.

Mrs Clelland June 2019

“Probably one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in.”

Everything you could possibly need has been thought of and provided. The location and setting of the cottage is absolutely fantastic. One of our best holidays to date. Thank you.

Mr Holt June 2019

“We arrived to a Very Warm Welcome from Iona & Paul, the holiday just got better from this point.”

Boat O Fiddich is a wonderful cottage the photos do not do it justice, all fixtures and fittings are Five Star. Everything you need to make your stay very special, the grounds and views are exceptional. We spent many a night in the BQ hut eating and of course having a we dram listing and watching the wonderful River Spey rush by, making you feel very relaxed. Of course there is the hammock to relax in if you get to warm from the BQ. Iona & Paul recommended some wonderful places to visit, from walks Up & Down the Speyside Way which is accessed from the cottage grounds, to outlying towns and villages. Two of our favorites were the Cooperage & the Gardens at Glen Grant Distillery. Many Thanks to Iona & Paul. Jim, Margaret, Sarah, Betty & Brian. Manchester

“Simply an amazing cottage - cannot think of anything that you could do to improve it !”

The location is beautiful right next to the river surrounded by countryside teaming with wildlife. Facilities are fantastic and of a very high standard. Just a 5 minute walk on the Speyside way takes you into Craigellachie with a couple of great hotels for dining and drinks. Another couple of miles take you to Aberlour that has everything you could need including an excellent Whisky distillery. The owners Paul & Iona are friendliness personified and very knowledgeable if you need any information about the area. We will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Ms Borntraeger June 2019

“We had a fantastic time at the Boat O Fiddich!”

The hosts are very lovely and generous. The house has everything we needed and the location by the river is amazing! We even have seen some deers! The beds are very comfy and the fireplace is comfy too. We just loved it! Thank you very much and kind regards from us in Switzerland

Mr Hutchinson April 2019

“The cottage was nothing short of tranquility and certainly allowed the two of us on our stay to regain our inner peace - something so easily lost with busy working lives.”

The cottage had absolutely everything needed (and more) for a short break and we really enjoyed the BBQ pavilion by the river; the hydrotherapy hot tub was fantastic as well - certainly the best out of all the places we have stayed over the years. Paul & Iona could not have been more accommodating and allowing us to use their bikes was a wonderful touch. Plenty to do in the local area: we particularly enjoyed the bake well tarts at the Sidings cafe, gin tasting at Caorunn, the Macallan distillery, the larder in aberlour among plenty of other things. We will definitely be back later in the year - thank you both very much.

About the location

ABERLOUR

Elgin 15 miles.

The small, pretty village of Aberlour lies on the banks of the River Spey, and is surrounded by wonderful open countryside, with the Cairngorm Mountains on one side and the Moray Firth coast on the other. Noted for its presence on the Whisky Trail and for Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival visitors will be stunned to realise that there are 50 whisky distilleries within a 15 mile radius of the town. Many of these distilleries are well worth a visit as they have excellent visitor centres with plenty of tasting on offer. The area is a magnet for fishermen with the River Spey so close by, whilst walkers will certainly appreciate the fabulous walks and wildlife they will encounter en route through the Speyside Way, one of the four official Long Distance Routes in Scotland. Aberlour is a great base for exploring this region of Scotland.
