Tucked away in the untamed majesty of the Scottish Highlands, Spey Valley House is a former shooting lodge reborn as a remarkable private retreat. Set amidst the Cairngorms National Park, this expansive and characterful home is steeped in tradition yet designed for modern Highland living, perfect for adventurous families, milestone celebrations, or long, fire-lit evenings among friends.
Inside, the seven elegant double bedrooms, six bathrooms, and separate bothy sleep up to sixteen guests in comfort and style. Roaring log fires, wood-panelled rooms, and period details offer a nod to the estate’s storied past, while a sleek, modern kitchen, fast Wi-Fi throughout, and a bubbling outdoor hot tub offer every contemporary comfort. A whimsical shepherd’s hut is tucked away in the grounds for extra charm, and extra guests.
Outside, the house opens onto a private nine-hole golf course framed by towering pines and snow-capped peaks. Whether it's clay pigeon shooting, trout fishing, a friendly match of tennis, or simply soaking in the fresh Highland air, Spey Valley House is a sanctuary for active escapes and laid-back luxury alike.
- This property is in quite an isolated location.
- The Shepherd’s Hut has no running water or toilet; you will have to use the main house.
