Make the most of the magnificent seclusion at this quintessential Scottish cottage, near Archiestown, in Moray and watch tails wag with excitement at the opportunity for fresh air and long walks. Two delighted dogs are very welcome to join up to five guests at the property, which enjoys panoramic views out across the Spey Valley from its outstanding hilltop position. Take Fido and Fred out to explore the 200 acres of the cottage’s own grounds or plan exciting trips out, including to the Cairngorms National Park, which begins about 12 miles from this stone-built hideaway.
Open the door of this inviting property and let the pups pad inside. Watch them explore the drawing room, while you stoke up the wood burner and perhaps settle down for a while to watch a little TV. When everyone starts to think about dinner, make your way into the bright, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner. Feed your furry friends then whip up something tasty for the rest of your party and call everyone to the table. Find a useful utility room at this level too, where you can towel down your damp dogs after long, wet walks. A shower room and single bedroom are also on the ground floor. Climb the stairs to find the family bathroom, plus a double bedroom and a twin. Sit out in the sunshine and fresh air and watch your happy hounds frolic on the grass. Light the BBQ on warm evenings and dine out here as you absorb the undulating vistas.
Stroll 1 mile to the picturesque village of Archiestown, with your cheerful chums by your side, to go shopping or to dine out. Follow the circular, 5-mile Cairn Cattoch Walk through the leafy forest from Archiestown. Take a walk of approximately 5 miles along beside the River Spey to Aberlour.
