The Maltings - Highland lodge with hot tub and summer house

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.

Five stars for the Maltings
A fabulous property with everything we needed and so much more. Quirky, clean, peaceful and fun. Hot tub enjoyed by the humans and the dog enjoyed the huge enclosed garden. Would highly recommend and would live to go back to the property again. Weather was an added bonus.

Great Lodge - nice space in garden, quite location
8 of the family joined us to hike up Munro's - annual event we will be back. On arrival we had a big storm that generated water under the front door, which flooded the dining room, the IGLOO team immediately responded and came in to clean up the flash flood. That night and came back in the morning to do a deep clean of the dining room. We would recommend this property as a great base. They offered to move us but this wasn't needed thank you for your great support.
