Bankhouse B&B

Wonderful overnight B&B in the centre of Aberlour. Friendly hosts. Wonderful breakfast. Recommend.

First Class the accomodation and the owners were faultless, my only issue was I arrived after 7.30pm in the evening and having nothing to eat since breakfast , Tried to get a hot meal , on a very cold and windy evening. I was told by the owners that you were not allowed take-away food in the B&B - so this rulled out the chinese takeaway - as it was not realistic to eat it outside , the two local bar resturants stopped serving at 8 and i arrived in the first one at 2 minutes past and they said no , try the next and the cook had gone home , needless to say i got no Hot food that night - just a stale sandwich and scotch egg fro the local shop - which i had to eat on the street- but the breakfast was brilliant the next morning - advice dont arrive late or expect to eat a take-away (this was a first for me and would have been very helpful to know this at time of booking - yet again cant fault anything else - hence the score

Fantastic Introduction to Scottish Hospitality My wife and I stayed at Bankhouse B&B as our first stop of four cities on our Scotland tour. Our plane was delayed and we ended up getting in well after midnight. The host, Eileen was extremely friendly and receptive when we got there. She quietly let us in and gave us the brief tour before asking what time we would have breakfast and wishing us a good night. We unpacked a bit of our belongings into the cozy, clean room (pro-tip: store opened luggage underneath the bed), took our showers in the gorgeous bathroom, and went to sleep on the comfortable beds. We awoke the next morning to a wonderfully prepared breakfast of our choosing, which included my first experience with how different bacon is in this part of the world compared to the USA. Eileen also helped with some recommendations as far as taxis and bus routes go, as well as general recommendations about fun things to do in the area. The gentleman she runs the B&B with was also just as friendly and helpful when we interacted with him. Our room was tidied and refreshed after each day out, and the checkout process was simple as "just leave". Overall a fantastic experience. They do not allow outside food to be brought in and eaten there, I assume to keep things tidy and not have to worry about trash management, and although the town has minimal takeaway options, it would be nice if they did allow takeaway. However, this is a minimal downside to the otherwise great option for staying in Aberlour (pronounced Aberl-hour).
