The Spey valley offers a perfect base for both the active and those who prefer a more peaceful break.

Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 1 with walk-in shower and the other with separate bath and walk-in shower. In addition to the newly installed central heating, Balvattan Farmhouse is also our own much loved holiday home and we have furnished and equipped it to a standard that we always looked for when renting holiday homes in the past. It is ideally located for all local amenities. In the winter, skiing is available at Cairngorm, the Lecht or Ben Nevis ski areas. In the summer fishing on the River Spey, bird watching, golf & mountain biking are found locally. The nearest shop & restaurant are 5 minutes drive away.
