Nestling in the bank of Cluny Hill, this small, family-run Victorian mansion offers award-winning food and overlooks the beautiful village of Forres, between Aberdeen and Inverness. Built in 1865 and extended in 1910, Cluny Bank is a listed building at Historic Scotland. Carefully maintained, it was a private home for many years and was only recently converted into a Bed and Breakfast. Today the hotel offers a unique blend of modern amenities and many of its fine original features. Cluny Bank offers a fine selection of 52 local whiskys in our bar - from Speyside, the Highlands, the Islands and Islay. Forres is located on the A96, within easy reach of both the Whisky and Castle trail. As the Forres Golf Course is just around the corner, Cluny Bank is also ideally situated for golfers.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

    BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN A LOVELY QUIET ROAD SURROUNED BY WOODS. THE HOST WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. CAN'T COMPLEMENT THIS PLACE ENOUGH. YOU WILL NOT REGRET STAYING HERE. AND HER SELECTION OF WHISKEY IS WORTH TRYING TOO

    Breakfast was perfectly cooked and delicious. The location of the hotel was perfect for us visiting friends close by. We enjoyed a drink by the fire in the cosy bar.
