USEFUL TIPS FOR #DRAM26: Where to Stay

Information

Accommodation in Speyside

From quaint country cottages to historic hotels, beautiful castles to quirky self-catering, bespoke B&Bs to camping in the great outdoors- Speyside offers it all.

Accommodation is spread across the region, with options in towns including Aberlour, Dufftown, Rothes, Craigellachie, Elgin and Fochabers. Some visitors choose to stay slightly further afield and travel in for events.

During the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, availability can be limited. We strongly recommend securing your accommodation as early as possible, ideally before, or at the same time as, booking your tickets.

Explore accommodation options on our Accommodation page.

Choosing the Right Base

Speyside is a rural region, and events take place across multiple towns and distilleries. When deciding where to stay, consider:

• The location of your booked events
• Travel time between venues
• Access to taxis or public transport
• Whether you will be driving

Some visitors choose one base for the full Festival, while others split their stay across different areas to reduce travel time.

If your preferred location is fully booked, try neighbouring towns or larger centres such as Elgin or Keith, which offer good transport links to many Festival events.
