The Tannochbrae

I booked this guesthouse for a group of 8 of us that came to Speyside in late July to go to distilleries and experience the charm of Scotland deep in whisky country! One extra amazing thing about this house is that you can arrange for James, the owner, to open the private bar and sell you drams from his collection of whiskies and for us, this was a huge highlight of our entire time in Scotland. The house is very large and comfortable, and we could have added one more couple. Much of the house is a smart house and while that is very modern, it was daunting for me to figure out. I would have liked written instructions for using many things in the house, like the coffee machine, the dishwasher, and the climate control. You do have to walk down to the kitchen to change your room temperature which is rather a bother sometimes. Also the lights seem to have a mind of their own. But it was way more positive than not. It is perfectly located to walk to the Whisky Capital Inn for their amazing whisky bar, is located right next door to the grocery store, and also a lovely whisky shop across the street. Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Mortlach are all literally walking distance and many more are barely a few minutes drive. If you have a large group coming to enjoy whisky in Speyside, I cannot imagine there is anyplace more perfect than the Tannochbrae!
