3rd to 7th Nov 2025

Just perfect! ❤️

3 generations!

14th to 17th Nov 2025

We all had a wonderful time in this beautiful Old Mill. Stunning setting! 3 generations of the Clan Mckenzie!

Most beautiful building I have ever had the blessing to be in ❤️

31st to 3rd November 2025

Most beautiful building I have ever had the blessing to be in, the hot tub was beautiful as well as the view from it. There were 12 of us in total celebrating and 80th and a 76th celebration an 80th and a 76th birthday. The view of the cogs from the old mill was slightly creepy but very interesting. My only criticism would be due the lack of a full body mirror, we are a very fashionable family and require one… but all in all this trip has convinced me to save up and buy this house.

We'll be back!

Its a lovely house in a beautiful setting. 10 of us are staying, spacious, lovely rooms. The children loved the bunk beds. We really enjoyed the top tub and being able to use the paddle board especially with it being so handy with the river.
The Fishermans bothy was excellent with great views. We had a lovely evening around the fire pit. P.S we recommend Granton Diner for a tasty takeaway, Foyle Family

Wonderful stay enjoyed by three generations. Overall the house provided an ideal location for our holiday.

The Boat Inn and Andersons in the village both offer great food and service and both worth a visit.

Loch Garten and Loch Morlich both close.

Property Details

The Old Mill on the Spey is a fascinating 18^th-Century Mill House, located in a peaceful setting right on the banks of the River Spey. Originally built as a corn mill in 1720, the property was extended in the early 1800s to incorporate a sawmill when logs were floated down the River Spey to be milled here. Throughout the turbulent history of the area, the mill has served the local crofting and gentry society alike.

The present owners have lovingly renovated this impressive property to a fantastic standard, which combines the traditional functionality of the mill with a boutique interior. Not only does the décor fuse the atmosphere of a North American ski lodge with that of an old Scottish Sawmill, but the crystal water of the mill race gracefully past the original workings of the wheel.

The 3-level home’s ground-floor lounge is all about homey comfort. Large plush chairs and sofas, walls adorned with sporting artefacts and interesting memorabilia, and hand scraped oak flooring create an air of cosy relaxation. The focal point of the lounge is a large log stove (starter log pack supplied), and there is a 42” flat screen TV + Sky. The well-designed open plan kitchen has an island hob fitted with an integrated bar, so the cook for the evening is not left to toil alone. The kitchen has 2 large ovens, microwave, dishwasher, Belfast sink, beer & wine coolers and a large fridge/freezer along with all of the pots, pans and utensils you will need during your stay. Just off the kitchen is a conservatory dining room with a large family style table that can seat all of the mill’s occupants. This is a superb setting for an evening meal overlooking the mill race running just outside the window and on to adjacent surrounding farmland.

The Old Mill on the Spey has 5 bedrooms, of which 4 have their own en-suite shower rooms with under floor heating and heated towel rail. All bedrooms have flat screen TVs and wardrobe space.

The master suite is immense with a super king-size bed, a large seating area with two leather armchairs, and natural slate flooring with under floor heating. A large picture window overlooks the meandering River Spey and the original mill workings – a glimpse into the fascinating past of the building.

The 2nd bedroom with a super king-size bed and a 3^rd bedroom with double bed both come with an en-suite shower room and views on to the river.

There is also a family room with a super king-size bed and river views, featuring 2 custom-made timber private bunks. The top bunk even has its own flat screen TV

Completing the accommodation is a 3-bunk room, also with river views—ideal for children—but the beds are full-size and also can comfortably accommodate adults. This unique bunk room features the popular “Powder Bunks” which the kids LOVE and is the owner’s signature touch throughout their other holiday properties on the Highland Hideouts’ portfolio. This unique design is made up of two single beds and one double bed, these full size bunks are just great for kids (of any age) they are self-contained ski chalet styled private bunks with TV’s, storage and powers sockets for tablets, mobiles etc.

The Old Mill on the Spey also has a centrally-located family bathroom which is fitted with a luxury 16-jet spa bath, just the place to soak away the aches and pains after a busy day of activities in the area. There is a separate WC just next to it.

Like all of the properties in the Highland Hideouts portfolio, the luxurious relaxation that the Old Mill on the Spey offers is not limited to the interior. Just outside there is a large, double-level decked area with a fabulous eight person hot tub. From this private, tranquil setting you and guests can soak up the view of the River Spey and surrounding countryside while you enjoy that all-important morning coffee or quiet evening “sundowner” as the mill race flows beneath the deck. Or if dry heat is your preference, a magnificent 6 person “Barrel” sauna adjacent to the decking awaits you to warm your bones.
