Add to List

Introduction

Set at the end of the Aldourie Castle steadings, within the grounds of Aldourie Castle, part of WildLand, South Bothy has been carefully restored to retain its original character while introducing a pared-back, contemporary feel. Sleeping two guests, the layout is arranged across two levels, with a double bedroom and shower room on the ground floor, and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space upstairs.

The upper floor is filled with natural light, creating a calm space for cooking, reading or working, centred around a wood-burning stove. Provisions and suppers prepared by the Aldourie Castle chefs can be arranged on request. Outside, a small seating area offers space to sit out, with access to the wider landscape including meadows, woodland paths and lochside walks. The setting encourages a slower pace, with everything needed for a simple and comfortable stay.
