    Fantastic BnB in the heart Aberlour. We had a fantastic dinner here. The cheeseburger and beef like pie were fantastic. The service is outstanding. Very attentive waitstaff. The walk from the center of Aberlour was 5 minutes. Plenty of street parking too. The cocktails were OK. The sticky toffee pudding and tea were really good too. We are returning for another meal tomorrow.

    The Airbnb host suggested a place in town for dinner called the Mash Tun, which is also one of the vessel used to smash the grains in the brewing process in alcohol. The place was also not easy to find, but thanks to my street savvy friends of mine, we found this tiny restaurant and whiskey bar. The food was delicious, and surprisingly affordable! Dinner for 4, with multiple drinks came to under 80 pounds. We had: Steak Diane, Cheesesteak, Chicken and Pork fillet with pepper sauce. While waiting we got a basket of warm bread and well, hard icy butter. I would recommend this place, and make sure you book a table!

    Five stars because my tour of 20+ people stopped in Aberlour without any notice and stampeded this pub right when it opened, with only an hour to eat and leave. The 2-3 workers CRANKED and got us all fed while making us feel incredibly welcome even if they were obviously stressed. I thought it was odd that fish and chips wasn't on the menu but I'll disregard it because of their amazing selection of whiskey at pretty affordable prices, as well as some nice domestic beer options. The food was also good, which for me is saying something because most of the food I had in Scotland was generally flavorless and sad. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here (because you'd really be driving out of your way) but if you can swing it, make Mash Tun a stop.

    This is a delightful pub with friendly service and great food. They are also known for their whiskeys. They offer a variety of baguette sandwiches and all came with a side salad and large amount of chips/french fries. There were so many fries that few in our party could finish them. I had the Chicken Curry Pot Pie and was a bit surprised by what I got. I received a good sized bowl of very tasty chicken curry and a fluffy, flaky roll set on top of it. So it wasn't a 'pot pie' per se, but was good none the less. One intriguing aspect of this and some pubs/restaurants in Scotland is dogs are allowed in, which you'll see in a couple of my photos. Being dog people, we love this. And if you are a whiskey person, then this is for sure a must place to visit.

    A very nice and cool place. They have a high selection of different whiskeys and beers. The personnel are helpful and service minded. We had lunch there one of the days we where there and that was actually a very good sandwich - not what we would have expected at a bar in Scotland (sorry :) ). I would go there again if I was in the area. Missing TV to see a good football match if that is on and also missing wifi. It is also possible to sleep at Mash Tun, but compared to other B&B possibilities in the area it is to expensive at Mash Tun.

    We decided to have a dinner at this restaurant while staying in aberlour based on feedback. The food was pretty good, but the service was extremely slow. We received our food way after some others that came in after we did. Very disappointing.

    Stopped in here for a beer and a solid vegetarian meal in between distillery visits and stops along the Speyside Way. Several decent vegetarian offerings.
