About this cottage rental
Welcome to The Maltings, a luxurious country holiday lodge near the charming village of Nethy Bridge in the Scottish Highlands. Nestled in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, this unique retreat offers an unforgettable getaway for families, groups, and pet owners looking for relaxation and adventure.
Originally built as an oat mill in 1749, The Maltings has been lovingly renovated to create a tranquil and secluded luxury lodge while preserving its original character. With heritage features, cozy interiors, and stunning natural surroundings, it’s the perfect escape from everyday life.
Step inside and discover a beautifully designed interior with sumptuous furnishings, a wood-burning stove, and original mill features. The living space is ideal for relaxing after exploring the breathtaking Scottish Highlands.
One of the highlights is the bar area, where the original oat grinder has been transformed into a unique bar table. It's the perfect place to enjoy a dram of Speyside whisky in an authentic setting. The dining area provides a welcoming space for entertaining, creating a warm and atmospheric experience for gatherings with family and friends.
Set within two acres of private garden, The Maltings offers plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh Highland air. Highlights include a dedicated outdoor dining area for al fresco meals, a recently renovated log cabin summerhouse perfect for quiet moments or imaginative play for children, and a luxury hot tub allowing guests to soak in the stunning surroundings while enjoying Scotland’s ever-changing landscapes.
The Maltings comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across four beautifully designed bedrooms: a king-size bedroom with en-suite, a king-size bedroom, a double bedroom, and a twin bedroom. The lodge also features two additional bathrooms, a cloakroom WC, and a utility room with washing and drying facilities. A games area, board games, and stair gates ensure comfort and entertainment for guests of all ages.
We happily welcome two well-behaved dogs (more upon request). The enclosed garden provides a safe space for pets to roam freely, and ample parking is available for up to four cars.
Your stay at The Maltings includes heating, electricity, logs, bed linen, towels, robes, and slippers, a welcome gift, and local activity guides.
The Maltings is ideally situated for those looking to explore the Scottish Highlands and the stunning landscapes of Cairngorms National Park. Nearby attractions include Abernethy Forest & Loch Garten, a haven for wildlife lovers, Cairngorm Mountain Resort, perfect for skiing, snowboarding, and hiking, Loch Morlich, Loch an Eilean & Loch Insh, great for open-water sports and scenic walks, historic castles & Highland Folk Museum, ideal for history enthusiasts, Landmark Adventure Park & Highland Wildlife Park, fun for families, and biking, hiking, river sports & climbing, offering plenty of adventure activities.

The property was a little hard to find. One access route is used but not the one linked to the bin store- which was a little inconvenient. However the Maltings was incredibly well maintained, with everything one would need to spend a week in sublime sunshine with heat of 26 degree's in October. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary items for my husband - who still takes his own knives and half a kitchen everywhere we go. The garden was inclosed minus a small gap that the dog wiggled through at the gate, we put some rocks up against it to stop his great escape attempt two. This was no issue ( he is a small dog). Although the place was well kept, there was a broken chair on arrival, a bulb or two out on some lights and it would be nice to have a proper brochure of how to use the facilities. It took us a few online searches to get the oven working, we never managed to understand the ice machine, and we couldnt figure out where the keys where for the outdoor storage area untill we emailed to ask. None of these things put a dampner on what was a perfect holiday celebrating my big birthday with friends and family. We lucked out with the weather, surrounded by the stunning autumnal colours.

Rooms were spacious and clean. Didnt see host but were made welcome. We had no pets. Situated in National Park made travelling to activites easy. Lots of outdoor pursuits, Landmark Centre, mountain biking, canoeing, many well-marked walks, Cairgorm venicular railway (to name but a few) available for young and old.

Great house with everything you need including a hot tub! Huge garden which was all enclosed so our dog loved it.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The house was pretty, spacious, well equipped and had some nice original features and was generally comfortable to stay in. The peacefulness, solitude and large enclosed garden with summer house was fantastic. It was lovely sitting watching the swifts? flying low over the grass. We had a pheasant visitor too. The hot tub was nice . The washing machine was easy to use . Nick and Erin were nice to deal with and replied promptly to emails.
We were disappointed there was not an EV charger for our hybrid car and that we were not allowed to use a granny plug. The electricity tripped a couple of times but was easy enough to switch back on. The decking is a bit dodgy (large step down on to grass) and some planks looked a bit worn. (Just for your information , as this is just nature , but there was a possible wasp nest above the utility room door with wasps often walking on the decking . We just had to be vigilant all the time especially when the grandchildren were going outside) The bridge is no longer out , but the directions only mention the other access road but we felt the road over the new bridge although longer was a bit better to access the property. Maybe an actual washing line and more pegs would have been useful. The big ring of the gas stove looked a bit odd as if it has had some damage at some point. It worked fine but we had to be careful when igniting it as it did ignite with a bit flash. A radio in the kitchen or dining room would have been a nice touch.
