About this property
The Bothy, a timeless Speyside retreat in a Victorian Courtyard
Nestled in the heart of Speyside, Brylach Steading is a beautifully restored Victorian steading dating back to 1873, where history, comfort and natural beauty come together. Once home to the horses and carriages of the Dunbar Dunbar family’s holiday residence, this characterful property now offers three charming self-catering retreats: The Bothy, The Hayloft, and The Coachman’s Cottage, all thoughtfully converted from the original stables and carriage houses.
Centred around an impressive stone courtyard with sweeping views across the Glen, Brylach Steading is a peaceful hideaway and an ideal base for exploring all that Speyside has to offer. From world-class whisky distilleries and iconic golf courses to salmon fishing on the River Spey, scenic walking and cycling routes, and abundant wildlife, there truly is something for everyone. Nearby villages such as Rothes, Craigellachie and Aberlour offer welcoming cafés, traditional inns and local shops, while Elgin is just a short drive away.
Whether you’re seeking a relaxing countryside escape or an adventure-filled Highland holiday, Brylach Steading offers warmth, comfort and a genuine sense of place. With complimentary parking, Wi-Fi, easy self check-in, and well-behaved dogs welcome, it’s a retreat designed to help you slow down, settle in, and enjoy the magic of Speyside.
