Om overnatningsstedet

The Castle Bothy, indkvartering med egen forplejning ved siden af det historiske Auchindoun Castle

The Bothy er en luksuriøs ferielejlighed 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.

Ejendommen er lidt usædvanlig, fordi den har en lys stue med åben planløsning, herunder køkken- og spisepladser, der ligger på første etage over soveværelserne og badeværelserne i stueetagen.

Der er en vidunderlig forhøjet udsigt over slottet gennem de store vinduer og en ekstern skovtrappe, der fører ned i den lille vilde blomsterhave. Når "Northern Lights" (Aurora Borealis) kommer ud til at spille dette er et enestående synspunkt, hvorfra de kan opleve dem.

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 Byre' (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. Det andet (mindre) soveværelse har en standard (4'6 "bred) dobbeltseng.

Gulvvarme i stueetagen og radiatorer på første sal gør dette til et meget hyggeligt lille hus.

Bothy kan bestilles i 3-7 dages ophold, der starter fredag eller tirsdage.

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.

Short break away after attending wedding nearby

We had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay in The Bothy. It was a real home from home for us, very comfortable and extremely well maintained and stocked. Lots of little added extras to make this a very special place. We hope to visit again in the future.

Dufftown in the Highlands

If you want an gorgeous view, wildlife galore, a castle to explore, and peaceful ambiance, look no further than The Castle Bothy. Colin warmly greeted us upon arrival and was ready to help us with any questions or needs. This was a last minute booking after an unexpected cancellation and boy are we glad the other owner pulled the rug out because we scored a million dollar gem with Colin & Penny.

Lovely comfortable accommodation with stunning views

The Bothy is a lovely relaxing place to stay. It has everything you need for a holiday including whisky and the local delicacies called butteries. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and restful and even has a castle which is a great place to sit and take in the views. Whether you want to just chill or go exploring the area there is something for everyone. Colin and Penny,the hosts, are very helpful especially with recommending places to visit in the local area and are always on hand if there are any issues with the accommodation This is the second time we have stayed and will certainly be going back

Our stay near Dufftown

We had a great stay in this secluded property. It was very quiet and peaceful. Everything was as expected except the clothes washing and drying machine which was not what we are used to but we did get all of our clothes cleaned and dryed. Colin and Penny were very nice and right on property. We would love to go back.

The property was perfect. The location was stunning although not too far from local amenities. The facilities in the property were excellent with everything needed for a break whether exploring the local eateries or cooking in the apartment. The bedrooms were lovely with beautiful views and the bathroom spacious with an excellent shower and bath. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend a stay at this property. I certainly will be going back

A wonderful holiday in Scotland

We had a wonderful holiday in that cosy holidayflat, which was very tastefully and individually furnished. Everything was of the best quality. When we arrived we got a warm welcome. We found nice little things for a typical scottish breakfast in the kitchen, flowers and a lot of good tips of every kind and for all interests. It was very clean. We were helped whenever we had a question.

Rural Beauty

The property is unique in that it is so close to the ruins of a castle that you can see it from the window and take a short walk to view it. It is quite isolated, which was perfect for us and we just drank in the beautiful surroundings. Colin and Penny were excellent hosts and provided us with delicious local specialty called a "buttery" along with some butter and jam. They were friendly and gracious and left us with good detailed instructions regarding dos and don'ts. The space itself is as advertised - small but very well appointed. We would love to return for a longer stay to explore the area on foot more!

Wonderful Location

This is a beautiful property and highly recommended. Colin and Penny have added so many small touches and amenities that make this so comfortable. We loved looking at the Auchindoun castle with each morning’s expresso. It was very clean and so quiet, we felt like we had it all to ourselves. When we left it brought tears to my wife’s eyes because it was truly a lifelong dream come true. The castle, the wildlife, the secluded getaway in a fairy tale setting that was wonderfully unique.I agree with another reviewer… “I've stayed in a lot of VRBO property's over the years and this is by far one of the best”

We had a wonderful stay! Such a beautiful home and setting. Colin greeted us on arrival making us feel welcome in the very clean, cozy, comfortable and nicely decorated home. Throughout the space Colin and Penny took great thought and care to ensure we felt welcome, providing many extras including whiskey and lovely shortbread cookies, robes and slippers! The view of the castle was lovely, the hillside scattered with sheep and cattle added to the idyllic stay. We were delighted with our time and so appreciative of the hospitality. Thank you Colin and Penny.

Stay with Colin and Penny

It was just amazing to stay at Bothy Castle in the beautiful surroundings of Speyside / Dufftown. Colin shared with us a very friendly and warm welcome and our group enjoyed very much the cozy and spotless apartment. We immediately felt like being home and even one day of heavy rain could not dim at all our feeling of wellbeing - on the contrary: we took advantage of spending one day "home" in this comfortable apartment (and of the offered local whisky :-)). Thank you so much, dear both! Going to almost the end of the worls is definitely wort it !! Caroline, Andreas, Patrick and Kerstin

Awesome Place

I've stayed in a lot of VRBO property's over the years and this is by far one of the best. Well designed and appointed, with awesome views and close proximity to a great deal of great places to visit! Colin and Penny are awesome hosts and are a wealth of knowledge about the local area as well as Scottish history.....can't recommend their place enough. If you love Scotland as I do, this is a must do location. The Bothy is very comfortable, the right size for two to four and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. I love to cook and it has everything needed to be at home in the kitchen. The beds are very comfortable, as well as a great living space and bathroom. I was impressed with the detail and care put into this place. There are many venue's within a couple of minutes to a couple of hours from here that are well worth the time spent. Stay, go, see and do....and enjoy! You won't regret the decision made or money spent!

As good as one could expect of a rental property.

With two bedrooms and bathroom downstairs, the living room is on the first floor which offers a wonderful view from the balcony - peaceful, serene green rolling hills (with cows and sheep) looking up to 1500 Castle Auchindoun. One could not have asked for a better setting to unwind. The accommodation is well designed, in excellent decorative order, sparkling clean, and provides everything one could hope for and more. I would not want to change anything. On arrival, we found everything we need for the following morning including tea/ coffee (standard & decaffinated), milk, biscuits, butter, Malted Brown Multi Seeded loaf (rather than a plain white loaf) and even a bottle of Virgin Olive Oil ! All the toiletry are also there, bath towels, hairdryer. For the drinker, there is a bottle of Malt Whiskey. Essentially, one does not need to bring anything except one's personal clothing - and even dressing gowns are provided. It just goes to show how thoughtful the hosts are. I would go to say Colin and Penny represent the "model hosts" ! They respond to any "pre-arrival" queries within 24 hours; well documented directions and arrival instructions. The leaflets and printed information provided were also very informative. Upon arrival, Colin & Penny were there whenever we wish to raise an issue, take benefit of their local knowledge or simply to have a friendly chat ! We did have a good chat because we "pre-retirement professional interests." However, Colin and Penny know where to draw the line and leave us "in peace" and have never knocked on our door during our one week stay. I can go on .... We will certainly stay with Colin and Penny when we visit that part of Scotland. I have no hesitation at all to recommend their holiday accommodation.

Just the perfect bolthole

Lovely warm welcome - we really valued knowing in advance what would be in the fridge etc, ready to use, when we arrived, too. A particularly comfortable, big bed ensured a good night’s sleep. Very well equipped and designed accommodation - even exceeding expectations. Very friendly, helpful hosts: appreciated more than ever in these strange times! Wonderful setting if you like landscape and photogenic views as much as we do. Recommend wholeheartedly - we hope to return, with like-minded friends.
