Aberlour Bolthole & Aberlour Retreat - Speyside Holiday Cottages

Visiting Aberlour Bolthole and Aberlour Retreat feels like having a break at your family's Highland countryside cottage. It's the perfect base for fishing, shooting, touring, relaxing and of course, exploring the Malt Whisky Trail - with the Aberlour Distillery just 500 yards down the road and the Macallan Distillery across the River Spey at the back of the cottages.

These charming cottages (built around 1830) retain the feeling of bygone times. Both offer warm, airy and well-proportioned accommodation and are furnished with comfy classics. They each have one double bedroom and one family bedroom (with 2 double beds) and a family bathroom/shower room. Downstairs they have open plan living facilities leading onto a pretty garden where you can sit and watch the world go by.

The location perfectly balances the peaceful setting behind private gardens and the convenience of having all the amenities of the vibrant Highland village Aberlour on your doorstep. Park the car and relax away from the hustle and bustle of life, pop to the Café at the end of the garden, or amble around the corner to the well reputed ‘Mash Tun’(one of 5 excellent local eateries/bars), and enjoy a wee dram and good food. Browse the gift shops and the gallery, sample some famous Joseph Walker Shortbread made right here in the village. Anglers might stroll across the Alice Littler Park for some fly fishing on the Spey (Great value day and week permits are available in the village).

This truly is somewhere to relax and take things easy; everything you need is here. 50 distilleries, castles, fishing, walking, golf, skiing, water sports, beaches - all within a 10-40 min drive.
