First, there’s the entry, where you drive beneath a former railway bridge to reach a private haven decked out in fairy lights. If you stay outside, you will soon see the hot tub and barrel sauna close to the outdoor seating area. The fisherman’s hut, with its own wood-burning fire and riverside porch, can then be found by following the ancient mill course down through the garden to the River Spey. Ideal for an evening drink spot, a quiet reading nook, or a teen hangout.
There’s much to keep you busy here for a weekend, including the sauna, hot tub, river, garden, collection of board games, and the desire to just take in the space that Old Mill on the Spey seems to generate in everyone who stays. You’re in an excellent place to start your experiences if you decide to explore or if you have the good fortune to be staying longer. In less than ten minutes, Boat of Garten, a charming community with a fantastic shop, cafe, gallery, tavern, network of walkways, and bike pump track and it’s less than a 10-minute drive to everything Aviemore has to offer.
