4 Bed Cottage in Aberlour

About this property

Set in the foothills of Ben Rinnes, this Highland sanctuary offers an exceptional base for adventure-filled escapes – perfect for celebratory groups of friends and family planning days of hiking, biking, coastal jaunts, and distillery tours. The property is just 1.5 miles from Aberlour, a picturesque settlement on the edge of the River Spey. The area is renowned for its world-class whisky production – with Aberlour Distillery and Glenallachie Distillery both within 1 mile. Other celebrated distilleries nearby include The Macallan Estate (4 miles) and Glenfiddich Distillery (6.5 miles). Lace up your walking boots for a hike up Ben Rinnes (3.5 miles), a rewarding hill walk that promises panoramic views across the Cairngorms and the Moray Firth from its summit. Around 20 miles away, the coast reveals a whole new world of adventures – head to Kingston (18.5 miles) to look out for pods of dolphins at the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre.

Before stepping into this unique property, take a moment to appreciate its impressive exterior and surrounding scenery of tall trees and rural views – setting the scene for an immersive Scottish escape. Step through the front door and uncover immaculate accommodation, thoughtfully designed, with an effortless flow between everyday living and moments of relaxation. Be greeted by a light-filled, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner. This well-appointed space boasts everything needed for cooking up holiday feasts, which you can enjoy at the wooden dining table inside or alfresco out on the decking. Stairs from here lead down to a lower-ground-floor utility room with laundry facilities. After each meal, head upstairs to find the highlight of the home – the show-stopping living room. Drenched in natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass balcony doors, this pristine space is perfect for unwinding while taking in the surrounding greenery. Sink into the comfy seating, flick on the Smart TV, and fire up the wood burner for a movie night you won't forget. For extra entertainment, you'll find a choice of board games and a record player. When it's time to call it a night, four chic bedrooms are split between the ground and first floors. On the ground floor, choose from a king-size room with an en-suite shower room, plus a bunk room served by the family bathroom. Upstairs, two more king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms complete the interior.

The property's outdoor space will take your breath away, starting with the first-floor balcony which wraps around the house and offers stunning views of the surrounding woodland. At ground-floor level, spill out into the generous garden to play games on the lawn before gathering at the furnished decking for peaceful morning coffees and al fresco BBQ feasts. A garage beckons with table tennis and outdoor equipment storage, while guests will also benefit from private off-road parking for three cars.
