About this house rental
Set in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park on the historic Rothiemurchus Estate, The Old Minister's House offers the perfect blend of Highland charm and contemporary comfort. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, yet only a short walk from the vibrant town of Aviemore, it's an ideal base for exploring the best of the Highlands.
This elegant former manse features five spacious en-suite bedrooms in the main house, plus a tranquil riverside suite with a further en-suite bedroom. Thoughtfully designed social spaces include a welcoming lounge with a log-burning stove, a riverside TV snug, a large dining room, fully equipped kitchen, utility room, and practical boot room, ideal for outdoor adventurers.
Outside, guests can unwind in the outdoor hot tub or gather together in the alfresco cooking and dining area, surrounded by the sounds of the nearby river.
Each bedroom takes inspiration from the surrounding landscape, combining 19th century romance with 21st century comfort. Expect crisp cotton linens, pocket-sprung mattresses, and blackout curtains for the perfect night's sleep.

Thoroughly great stay at the Old Ministers house with family recently. Location is excellent and the house is really well set up for a large group. We will most definitely be back!

The house is in a perfect location, walkable to Aviemore but close to Cairngorms, loch morlich and lots of other walks and trails.
The house has the perfect layout for multi generation family break but is showing signs of age and was a little dusty in places. Great enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs and a lovely outlook.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Great family stay, location fantastic for enjoying the Rothiemurchus estate. We had breakfast in the cafe next door and used the tree zone and mountain bike facilities. Also nice walk to the main town.
The property configuration worked perfectly. A few essentials such as milk, tea, coffee, salt n pepper would have been nice. The property was clean if not a little dated. The hot tub was a nice addition but did need some maintenance with the headrests and filter. Great stay and throughly enjoyed. Thank you

Really enjoyed our time at the Old ministers house. Hot tub was great, beds were comfortable and clean, house was within walking distance of the town so no complaints. That's our second time we have stayed at the house as a group and we would do so again.
