If you’re looking to get away from it all and enjoy a quality break or special occasion with friends and family, this spectacular property has it all. Standing alone on Findhorn Bay, surrounded on two sides by water and sheltered by 5,000 acres of the Culbin Forest, this nine-bedroom home enjoys an idyllic setting. With miles of beaches just a short walk away and the Cairngorms within easy reach, this imposing house is the perfect base for explorers of all ages and can accommodate up to 15 people.
Dating from the 17th century, the property exudes elegance and style as you wander from room to room. Extensive refurbishment and redecoration over the years has ensured it has all the modern touches you would expect, while retaining its unique old-world charm. Traditional wood furniture and tasteful decor adds character, retaining a home-from-home feel throughout.
Entering through the spacious hallway, you’ll discover ample room on this floor to entertain, dine, or simply relax. The comfortable sofas and chairs in the sitting room invite you to settle down and unwind with a wee dram of your favourite tipple, while the open fire crackles. The drawing room offers an additional space to entertain guests, while the dining room provides a more formal place to enjoy a special meal together. For a more relaxed pace, guests can gather around the table in the large kitchen, while you cook up something delicious on the traditional AGA. Curl up with a book on the window seat in the sun porch and take a moment to yourself. Two of the property’s bedrooms are also to be found on the ground floor, making things a little easier for less mobile guests.
Heading upstairs to the first floor, you’ll find seven cosy and welcoming bedrooms which have been decorated in warm and neutral tones to create a relaxing atmosphere and a restful night. There are also four bathrooms and WCs on this level. From this floor, head outside onto the roof terrace and soak up the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings as you take in views over the garden and bay.
There is plenty of space to play, roam or relax in the large garden, which was once open to the public and features an avenue of Irish yews leading down to the sea.
