Speyside Hotel, Grantown on Spey (Ghillie)

*** Highlands & Western Isles pub opening and food service times currently vary nearly on a day-to-day basis, mostly dependent on establishments' access to bar and waiting staff. Hence you will almost certainly see different times than those published here. Please DO NOT send updates to either opening or food service times, as trying to hit a moving target is a waste of our very limited resources. Instead, overall opening and restaurant times will be updated at the next full survey. Your understanding is appreciated. We welcome notifications of 'dog friendliness' however four legs good, two legs better. As you might imagine for a website called WhatPub, the main aim is to highlight the quality of ales. Thus, please include an assessment of a pub's beer(s) when you notify us of its cynophile status! ***.

The Speyside Hotel opened its doors in early 2019 after being closed for many years.

Completely modernised with 19 bedrooms, the hotel represents a great place to stay if you are exploring the Cairngorm National Park area.

Indeed, the High Street itself offers a selection of interesting shops.

A short walk (3 mins) off the high street set in its own gardens, the Ghillie Bar, is open to all.

The management has many years experience in the licensed trade and had a good track record for keeping real ale, however none available at the moment (July 2025).
