Welcome to Fernbank House
Quality accommodation in the heart of the Highlands
Built in 1892, Fernbank House is the former Victorian property of James Watson & Company. The wine & spirit merchants housed their Customs and Excise Manager at Fernbank to keep a close eye on the activities of Parkmore Distillery opposite.
Sadly closed since 1931, it is rumoured that that the water source became unsuitable for whisky distilling; this along with hefty tax levy’s imposed means that today the buildings, whilst well maintained, are only used for storage by the Edrington Group.
Now a family home, Fernbank has opened its doors giving guests, the opportunity to be part of Dufftown - the Malt Whisky Capital.
Come and stay in four star bed and breakfast accommodation in Dufftown..
Whilst you are in the Highlands enjoy some of our local activities - Castle or Whisky trails, shooting, fishing, golfing, walking, mountain biking, ski-ing or snow boarding, or just relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.
