The Bothy is a one bedroom cottage and The Hayloft is a one bedroom apartment both of which form part of the original Carriage Houses and Stables for the nearby Glen of Rothes House and dates back to 1873. Centered around an impressive courtyard with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside of beautiful Speyside. A real gem, a perfect hideaway, retreat or a base to partake in the abundance of activities and pursuits that are on the doorstep. No stay would be complete without a visit to at least one or two of the many world famous Distilleries of Speyside. Both properties are beautifully decorated with luxury touches and have everything that you could wish for a comfortable stay.
My husband, Janno and I own and run the beautiful Brylach Steading. We feel privileged to live and work in this beautiful part of the world and do our best to be good custodians of the historic Brylach Steading and surrounding environment. We love welcoming guests from all over the world and helping them to make the most of their stay.
Brylach Steading is under and hours drive to Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands, an impressive small city with a relaxed vibe. Approx 90 minutes in the opposite direction takes you to the bustling city of Aberdeen. Within striking distance from Brylach you can find amazing beaches, walking paths, nature reserves, Cairngorms National Park, water sports, rock climbing, golfing, mountain biking, fishing lakes and river fishing plus world famous Malt distilleries in abundance. For those looking for a more leisurely pace there are beautiful Loch walks, restaurants, castles and natural wildlife and scope for total relaxation.
