Book on their website
Welcome

The Hayloft is the hideaway room of Killiehuntly Farmhouse, set in the farm's old stone steadings a short stroll from the house.

It has a large bedroom made up as a double or a twin, a sitting area, a small kitchen for snacks and a shower room, so it feels like a little place of your own. Breakfast and supper are served round the farmhouse's shared table, and the sitting rooms and sauna yurt are yours to use too. It's the one room at Killiehuntly where dogs can stay, though they wait here while you dine.

We wish to restore our parts of the Highlands to their former magnificent natural state.
