This conversion sits pretty in an incredible location in the wilds of the Moray area of Scotland. A mile's walk will bring you to the lovely village of Archiestown, with its inspiring square and endless array of whisky distillery's to explore. If you fancy a more sober adventure, journey to the Speyside Way, a trail leading you over the Highlands along the River Spey to the dramatic Moray Coast. The trail begins a mile away — just follow the river.

The property itself is an unusual and historic mill, converted with contemporary taste while retaining masses of original features. Step into the heart and hearth of the home, the elegant lounge with two seating areas is perfect for a family occasion, with an open fire for extra cosiness and even the original millstone. Head through into the open dining and kitchen space, another sociable area ideal for big family meals. The bedrooms sit around the two upper floors, getting plenty of light and wonderful views, and — best of all — they're all en-suite so there'll be no fighting for the shower in the morning. The master suite is a gorgeous king room, with dual aspect windows looking out over the landscape, and the attic room is a fun hideaway, perfect for kids.

Outside, the grounds of the mill are romantic and rambling. The garden is fenced, bulbs sprout in spring and a small stream, that used to power the mill runs through - it's like stepping back in time.

A most beautiful conversion, full of interesting things - comfortable and cosy. And what a fantastic location which none of us had fully appreciated when planning our booking. Seven of us have been meeting each of the past 25 years in different locations - this one was the best so far!!

Lovely house in a beautiful location! The kitchen was very well equipped, nice and warm despite the minus temperatures outside. Everything we needed to know was in the manual which was easily accessible. We couldn't really fault the property! We would definitely return, just perhaps when our little one is a bit older due to the nature of the properRead morety. So, some advice for potential future guests - the house is gorgeous, just not toddler/small child friendly, lots of stairs here and there. Hide

The Mill is in a great location for fishing, distillery visiting, the coast, & hiking. We visited with all our family. Six adults & 5 children aged 4 to 10. We had a great time. The house is beautiful with lots of space & incredibly well equipped. It is warm & comfortable. The huge utility area caters for all weather's & all the 'stuff' a large famRead moreily brings. Bedding, towels, glasses, crockery are all of a high standard . I cannot fault it. I am sure we will be back!! Thank you so much. . Hide

Good property for a large family gathering though perhaps not with toddlers. It is well equipped, good fridge and freezer space. plenty of room in the kitchen for preparing large meals. Good bathrooms with easy to use showers.
