The Bothy is a one bedroom cottage and The Hayloft is a one bedroom apartment both of which form part of the original Carriage Houses and Stables for the nearby Glen of Rothes House and dates back to 1873. Centered around an impressive courtyard with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside of beautiful Speyside. A real gem, a perfect hideaway, retreat or a base to partake in the abundance of activities and pursuits that are on the doorstep. No stay would be complete without a visit to at least one or two of the many world famous Distilleries of Speyside. Both properties are beautifully decorated with luxury touches and have everything that you could wish for a comfortable stay.
My husband, Janno and I own and run the beautiful Brylach Steading. We feel privileged to live and work in this beautiful part of the world and do our best to be good custodians of the historic Brylach Steading and surrounding environment. We love welcoming guests from all over the world and helping them to make the most of their stay.
