Om overnatningsstedet

Slottet Byre, indkvartering med selvforplejning ved siden af det historiske Auchindoun Slot

The Byre er et behageligt, karakterfuldt sommerhus skabt ud af de gamle stenfader ('steading') på tidligere Parkhead Farm. Det ligger højt på en bakke med udsigt over Glen Fiddich og de lystbelagte hældninger af Cabrach-myren, kun 200 m fra de imponerende 550 år gamle ruiner af en af Skotlands mest ikoniske bakketop fæstninger.

Denne ejendom bevarer det traditionelle udseende af det originale laderinteriør med store udsatte tømmertag og naturlige kalkmørtelpidser. Gulvvarme giver diskret baggrunds varme og der er en moderne brændeovn i stuen for at give et yderligere niveau af hygge.

Det er ideelt til et par, men kan rumme op til 4 personer. For større grupper kan det lejes i forbindelse med et lignende sommerhus ved siden af - 'The Castle Bothy' (afhængig af tilgængelighed, se separat kombineret fortegnelse til nedsat pris).

Sengene i soveværelset kan forudkonfigureres som twin 3'-singler eller zip-link, der er knyttet som Super King-størrelse, dobbelt efter din angivne præference. Dette soveværelse har et eget brusebad. Det andet (mindre) soveværelse på Mezzanin-niveau har en standard (4'6 "bred) dobbeltseng og hjemmekontor.

Foretrukne bookinger for Byre er i mindst 7 dage fra fredag, dog kan kortere perioder være afhængige af tilgængelighed.

For kunstnere og dem, der er interesseret i patchwork eller tekstilhåndværk, er der et målbygget studie på stedet (Fb: 'The Studio at Castle on the Hill'), der kan bruges efter aftale for en lille ekstra afgift.

Området:

Fra slotte til whisky, bakker til kyst er dette et enestående område i Skotland, der omfatter det bedste af historie, gæstfrihed og moderne eventyr. Princippet fritidsaktiviteter er vandreture, cykling, fiskeri og golf.

Den nærmeste by er Dufftown, to miles væk og med seks destillerier er det 'Malt Whisky Capital of the World'. Her er der en række velassorterede købmandsforretninger og spisesteder, fra restauranter til take-away.

Populære lokale arrangementer, der tiltrækker folk fra hele Storbritannien og rundt om i verden, omfatter:
Ånden i Speyside Whisky Festival, slutningen af april og begyndelsen af maj.
Moray Walking & Outdoor Festival, midt på. Juni.
Dufftown Highland Games, sidste lørdag i juli.
North East Open Studios, midt på. september
Dufftown Whisky Colors Festival & Dramathon, begge midten. oktober

Kun 15 miles nord ligger verdensklassen Moray Firth-kystlinjen, med miles af sandstrande, interessante og maleriske små fiskerihavne, skove og klipper. Det er et af de bedste steder i Storbritannien for at få chancen for at se delfiner og hvaler, med bådture til rådighed.

Mod øst ruller landet ind i Aberdeenshire med flere slotte, herunder Balmoral i Royal Deeside og Aberdeen ('The Granite City'), den tredjestørste i Skotland med sine restauranter, kunstgallerier, parker og indkøbscentre.

Et par miles mod syd er Cairngorms National Park, den største og vildeste i Storbritannien med en bred vifte af organiserede fritidsaktiviteter, og vest ligger Inverness, indgangen til Loch Ness, vestkysten og det nordlige skotske højland.

Lyngen blomstrer fra juli til september (troede det er afhængigt af vejret).

Fra at sikre boligen opfylder den forventede standard for at give detaljeret viden og vejledning for at få det bedste ud af din tid, er vi forpligtet til at hjælpe dig med en enestående oplevelse.

Fantastic Stay near Dufftown

This property is beautifully maintained with loving attention to every detail. The views of the castle are breathtaking. The hosts had kindly provided us with samples of some local scotch and baked goods. We cannot say enough good things about this wonderful place!

Our stay at The Castle Byre was excellent! Such a beautiful space with beautiful views. The property was super clean and cozy. Colin and Penny were wonderful hosts, with excellent recommendations and provided us with some treats. It was just my wife and I on this trip, but we easily could have brought our children and had a comfortable stay. Thank you!!!

The Castle Byre is a10 stars out of 5!!! You couldn't ask for a better place to stay or get better hospitality. Colin and Penny provide an amazing experience with their thoughtfulness, hospitality and attentiveness. I cannot say 1 poor thing about our experience in Dufftown or The Castle Byre. The accommodations are exactly as they are on the website. This is one booking you will never regret!

Perfect Highland stay

Hosts were so welcoming and property was top notch with everything needed to make you feel right at home. Lots of extras to make you feel pampered as well. Can’t imagine a more breathtaking view. Quiet and peaceful countryside but short drive to interesting sites. No one in our family really wanted to leave. Plottting return visit now. 😉

Timeless Beauty and Peace

The accommodation perfectly suits the location aesthetically, yet offers contemporary and cozy comfort. The view from the living room inside or sitting outside on the porch is peaceful and awe-inspiring. The wild flowers accent the view of the castle ruins. The pheasants, sheep and common chaffinch lull you into the highlands' charm. The hosts, Penny and Colin, were helpful and interesting. We hope we can come back!

Colin and Penny were wonderful. The cottage, along with Colin’s collection of bottles and ceramics, was welcoming and beautiful. Colin is an architect and so was my dad, so we had similar interests. If you have a chance to visit, please do so. The Castle is why we came but Colin and Penny is why we will hopefully return! Clifton and Caroline

The Byre

It was more than we expected! Colin and Penny are great and wonderful hosts. Bed was comfortable however like all sofas in Scotland they were low and for a tall man, hard to get out of! Regardless of the sofas, we enjoyed the daily morning visits by the pheasants who walked by the patio door!

Beautiful Stone Cottage with a Castle View

We so enjoyed our Highlands visit in Dufftown, the heart of Speyside. Colin is the perfect host who designed the cottage adjacent to his home. He preserved many architectural details while making the space clean and modern. We especially enjoyed arriving to thoughtful touches in the kitchen - milk, butter, bread and our new addiction, butteries. A NE Scottish taste treat that defies explanation. Thank you so much Colin and Penny.

Stone walls, Sheep and a Castle

What a lovely place to end our 2 week trip through Scotland. A much-needed respite from the "modern world." Quite, perfectly appointed with TONS of local flavor. Colin and Penny were both delightful hosts and answered all our silly questions. If you book this (and I recommend you do) - be aware that there are few grocery shops within 20-30 minutes and the hours will be limited. No 24/7 Super-Market here (not that that's a bad thing)... Just need to plan ahead a bit and be ready to put it into slow gear.

Bliss!

We completely changed our Scotland vacation itinerary route to stay here (3 nights) based on the VRBO description and reviews. It was absolutely a great decision! The views alone were breathtakingly worth it, but when you add in the beautifully crafted space, the welcoming treats and amenities, comfy bed, seamless check-in-out, and great hosts, well, what more is there to say! Oh, and the pheasants - another unexpected treat. The location was so convenient to explore the Cairngorms and the northern coast. Colin was helpful in recommending some great spots in the Park off the beaten path. We always wanted to get back to the Byre though because we enjoyed staying there so much. Can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you Colin and Penny for a memorable, wonderful stay!

When can we come again?

Colin and Penny, our hosts were a delight from intial booking over a year ago, through to after our return. They were communicative and helpful and we were made to feel like nothing was a bother, even at Christmas! They went above and beyond and kept an eye on the winter weather and suggested we move the car so we didnt get snowed in. The holiday home, is exaclty that....a home. It was cosy and welcoming with personal touches and treats on our arrival. There wasn't anything we didnt have to hand. Excellent information book provided about the property and many guides on the area for us to browse. Amazing views and friendly wildlife. Underfloor heating was a absolute treat! Thank you for a lovely winter trip.

Simply amazing

Frankly I don't know to start. I told Colin & Penny when we arrived that we were speechless when we checked in to their incredible beautiful place. And 4 days later, we remained that way. I've stayed in many places around the world, and my spouse & I agreed that putting it all together, this is the one we'd come back to first and foremost. The attention to detail in the place itself, the provisions (we sampled the whiskies!), the light, the space, a warm fire, the castle, the flowers, the walks, the quiet, the peace, the wind in the trees, just everything about it we loved. And enjoyed meeting our host too, who told us a bit of history of the palce. Simply - thank you Colin & Penny. We hope we can return.

Idyllic Highlands location with history on you doorstep

The property was exactly as described, a beautifully restored old barn with plenty of useful and thoughtful features. It was very clean, comfortable and made us feel at home in the Highlands. Colin (& Penny) were wonderful hosts with lots of information about the area and the local surroundings. Nothing was too much trouble and the little extras such as the biscuits, butteries (we’re converts), milk, juice and of course the Scotch were well appreciated. Strongly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Luxury wIth a Castle View

My husband and I loved this property. The renovation was stunning. The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen was spotless and well equipped. The most amazing part was the castle ruin. We loved watching the light change as the sun set on the ancient rocks. We went up and explored the ruin and it was magical. Colin and Penny were perfect hosts-so friendly and kind. They left us milk, oatmeal and delicious jams and shortbread as well as some local whiskey. The location was perfect as we explored the Cairngorms and went to the coast to see Dunnottar Castle.

Very relaxing holiday

Difficult to fault this place. Colin and Penny have made a huge effort (and no doubt spent a lot of money) to make this place as good as it is. Their welcome is very warm and the welcome ‘gifts’ (especially the malt whiskies) VERY enjoyable. They provide things like bread, jam, marmalade, shortbread etc as well, which we really enjoyed. We basically just chilled out here for a few days but if you’re a whisky fanatic there are more distilleries within a small radius that you can count. Would definitely stay here again.

Truly a most amazing property, one of our greatest cottage stays ever!

I cannot say enough good things about the Castle Byre, or about our wonderful hosts Colin and Penny. The Byre has been beautifully designed and fitted out - it is at once modern and traditional, with everything you could ever want/need for a short stay (including a local speciality, butteries, which have now become an addiction!) including great whisky. All appliances, furniture, decor, etc are first rate. Equally important is the location, which is absolutely gorgeous with views out on Auchindoun Castle and the magnificent highlands. We had fabulous weather, and being able to sit in comfortable adirondack chairs in the morning, sipping our espressso in the beautiful dressing gowns provided, was an absolute luxury. Very close to Dufftown and all the Speyside distilleries, this is a perfect place for those who are looking for luxury, relaxation and good taste in a beautiful part of the world.

Amazing trip.. would recommend

We just wanted to get away from home for a bit and we spotted the Byre was facing a castle and had some outdoor space and we were sold. Arrival instructions were smooth. We were equipped with robes, slippers, whisky, shortbread and all the little things you often forget. Auchindoun castle was stunning to wake up to, particularly in the mist, and we had a full view of the starry sky at night. Thoroughly recommend
