About this property

Traditional Scottish family home comprising 4 large bedrooms

Convalmore House is a traditional cosy detached home built in the 1890's, and was once the Exciseman’ house of the old Convalmore Distillery. It is very spacious with 4 large bedrooms, livingroom, snug, kitchen and dining room.

There are two family bathrooms, and a separate toilet on the ground floor, a large private garden as well as a secure private car park.

Perfect location for visiting the famous distilleries in the Speyside area, including Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Aberlour and Macallan.

The space
The cosy detached house is very spacious with a traditional feel to it, with 4 large bedrooms (1 x King, 2 x double and 1 x twin), livingroom, snug room, kitchen, utility room (washing machine and tumble dryer) and a large separate dining room. There are two main family bathrooms, as well as a separate toilet on the ground floor. There is a large private garden as well as a private car park that is secure with CCTV.

The house is suitable for families or groups and is a great base for the Whisky Trail, the Moray Coast, The Isla Way and surrounding areas. There are castles, distilleries, hill walking, historical sites, waterfalls, museums and highland games to name a few.

Dufftown town centre and its distinctive clock tower is a 15 minute walk from the house with a number of amenities and conveniences, including The Whisky Shop, and traditional public houses and cafes.

Dufftown hosts a number of annual events, such as the Dufftown Highland Games (Last Saturday in July since 1892), the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, Autumn Speyside Whisky Festival (Last full Weekend in September), Hogmanay Ceilidh (New Years Eve), and The William Grant Glenfiddich Festival Experiment (September), all of which are conveniently located to the house.

Every Monday, there is an evening of traditional Scottish Music and Song (called a Stramash) at the Royal British Legion Lounge, starting at around 19.30. You can take your musical instruments along or simply join as a spectator. And every Thursday, there is a weekly Ceilidh Night (traditional Scottish dancing) at British Legion or Commercial Hall (alternate weeks) that start at 8pm.

The Cairngorms National Park is within 50 minutes of the house with many outdoor activities to choose from. It is a mecca for outdoors people with all sorts of sporting activities on offer, on the mountain, down in the valley, on the golf course or on your bike, there is something for everyone. The Cairngorms National Park has outdoor activities for all levels of experience, just choose what suits you.

Perfect for families

4 spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms made it a perfect place to spread out. As a mom, i loved having a washer and dryer available. My girls loved having a small private yard to run around in. We sent one message about the TV/Netflix to the owner and never heard back, but other than that everything was wonderful.

Issac, I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Convalmore House, and that your family was able to make the most of all it had to offer! Apologies that I replied to you the next day about your Nexflix request (my message on the messaging whats app remains unread), but unfortunately we do not provide this and it must have been a previous guests account that was signed in that was requiring a password. I hope you and your family had a safe onward journey and we would welcome you back at any time! All the best, Michael

The stay exceeded expectation.

The house is incredible. While the pics are great, the house exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and clear throughout. The trail alongside the house leading to the Whisky Train, The Balvenie Distillery and Gledfiddich Distillery was used frequently! Its a peaceful way to travel on foot to avoid the road. The smattering of pamphlets and fliers for things to do in and around Dufftown was appreciated. Overall a wonderful place in an amazing location.

Schönes Haus im klassischen Stil

Für 4 Erwachsene ein sehr geräumiges Haus mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt braucht. Die Küchenausstattung war sensationell, für Selbstversorger optimal. Etwas gestört hat die Straße, die jedoch nur tagsüber stark befahren ist und bei geschlossenen Fenstern hört man sie gar nicht. Abgesehen vom Haus selbst liegen viele Whiskydestillerien in naher Umgebung
