Auchnascraw Mill

  We had a great stay at Auchnascraw Mill! The mill was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed for the 5 days we spent there. The location is... read more idyllic, the views are beautiful and there are plenty of great walks both from the doorstep and within a short drive. We’d particularly recommend the livet path and carn daimh - the latter was a recommendation from Sean, who was very friendly and helpful, offering suggestions on things to see and do in the local area, and even providing us with cake for the long journey home! Unfortunately we didn’t get to meet Megan as she was away during our trip, but she was very helpful in providing information prior to our arrival. Overall, we absolutely loved our trip to Auchnascraw Mill and will definitely return in the future!

  Megan and Sean's converted barn mill is certainly one of the most comfortable, clean and top notch quality stay we've experienced. From pre arrival communication to checking in, they were... read more attentive to our questions and help where they could as it was our first visit to the area. We love the location and the privacy it affords along with the relaxing surrounding. We were also lucky to be there when the Northern Lights were active and a Dark Sky site was nearby, although we couldn't stay up quite late enough to catch it! Megan had baked a cake as a small welcome touch which totally warmed our hearts and tummy! The space is well designed where we spend a lovely time with our friends next to the fireplace. plenty of board games, books selection and a speaker which we could plug for our phone for music. the kitchen was well equipped, heated floors, beds were comfortable and the rooms were like cosy alcoves. p.s. we love that they retain some original part of the old mill design, and putting up selection of local art pieces and thoughtful details around the house to guide the guests for a comfortable stay. we can't wait to go back to visit at a different season !

  Amazing cottage to experience the Cairngorms

  We loved our stay. The house is beautifully done, and Megan was a wonderful host and went above and beyond - she even helped track down some extra baby gear... read more for our toddlers. We loved the setting of the house, and also the easy day trips to castles, whiskey distilleries, and hiking. We only wish we had planned to stay more than two nights!

  The renovated mill is fantastic with every detail thought out. We had a really comfortable stay. Megan and Sean are really lovely people, great hosts.
It’s also... read more worth saying that the quality of the night sky on a clear night is AMAZING in this area. There’s an app called Go Stargazing with more information and another one called AuroraWatch UK, unfortunately we didn’t catch it but apparently it’s a great location to see it so download the app and monitor the activity if that’s of interest for yourself or any children in your group.
