Taighsona Bothy, Speyside - amazing views!

Taighsona Bothy is located in the heart of Speyside, with incredible views out over Ben Rinnes.

We are peacefully situated only a few minute’s walk from Archiestown and on the Malt Whisky Trail. Aberlour and the famous Speyside Way are a short walk down through the stunning countryside and forest.

Set in an idyllic, peaceful location with amazing views out over Ben Rinnes and the Convals at the front and thriving woodland to the rear where you can regularly spot deer, red squirrels and grouse!

The Bothy has a large lounge/kitchen downstairs and upstairs has a spacious bedroom, bathroom and balcony. Outside there is a large private patio with seating area which is perfect for watching the sunset whilst enjoying a wee local dram!

Dogs are welcome at the Bothy and it’s the perfect location for your four-legged friends with the Speyside Footpath Network right on the doorstep! Miles and miles of woodland for them (and you!) to explore.

Plenty of local amenities are available in Aberlour village (5 minute drive, 40 minute walk) such as a Co-op, pubs, takeaways, Walkers Shortbread shop, Spey Larder deli, Mackie butchers……but most importantly the Aberlour distillery!

EV charging is also available.

Our location means whether it be fishing, whisky distilleries, walking, golf, cycling, sailing or winter sports that takes your fancy, we are positioned perfectly!

Cardhu, the Macallan and Aberlour distilleries are all within walking distance or a very short drive and offer superb tours!

A short drive North will take you to the stunning white sandy beaches of the Moray coastline, whilst a short drive in the other direction will take you to the beautiful scenery of the Cairngorm National Park.

We are only a short drive away from the stunning Moray coastline. Discover the stunning scenery and beaches as you walk along the Moray Coast Trail.

Fantastic stay at Taighsona Bothy
My husband and I recently spent 4 nights at the lovely Taighsona Bothy with our two dogs. The bothy is the perfect size for a couple and was exceptionally clean and well designed. The bed was super comfy and the views from the bedroom upstairs are fantastic! We loved the location as there were some good walks right at our doorstop which our dogs loved. We were also just a short walk from a nice/restaurant in Archiestown which was great. The bothy is perfectly located if you're looking to visit whisky distilleries in the area. Communicating with Andy was super easy and he was so kind and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the bothy!
