  • "We stayed at Meikle conval as we could not book Ben View which we have been to before couple of times."

    We know the area so perfect. Lovely cottage very clean and spacious. Very very quiet. Loads of birds in the garden. Only one little thing my husband had to wear a head torch when cooking as the kitchen area is quite dark. Otherwise perfect. Thank you. We will be back!

  • "A nice set up in a lovely part of the glen."

    Ben Rinnes as a backdrop and the glen spread out below gave lovely views (when weather permitted ;-)). Our granddaughter was enchanted by the bulls in the next field, and hit us with a barrage of questions. Good communication with the owners and clear instruction on key uplift etc. Plenty of information in the cabin on places of interest and things to do. Would certainly consider a return visit at a different time of the year.

  • "Meikle Conval , a place very beautiful and serene."

    Our family absolutely loved the stay. The view of the hills was perfect through the kitchen window. The back patio was a treat for a perfect evening tea with lovely sunshine. Indoor of the cottage was well organized with sufficient furniture. There are few suggestions that we would like to make which can form a constructive feedback mainly we are making from our previous cottage experiences that will make it an ideal family holiday out. Two things we felt that were missed out , 1.A washing machine 2. A dishwasher and 3.Soap / Shampoo holders in the shower rooms.

  • "Brilliant stay."

    Two suggestions. 1 egg cups 2 notepad and pencil if no more than to stop our foreign visitors from using the oven instructions as a score pad for a card game.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Meikel Cottage."

    Helen was very welcoming and helpful. Contemporary style was good and very cosy heating. The memory foam mattress on the double bed was not what we would normally have but we coped with it. Thank you.

The property

Dufftown 5.3 miles.

This well-presented and spacious lodge, Meikle Conval, is enveloped in lush green rolling hills and fields in the magnificent Scottish countryside, resting near Dufftown in Moray.

Ideal for couples or a group of friends, this property boasts ground-floor accommodation with ramp access, off-road parking and characterful interior and is the perfect place to relish the peaceful surroundings.

Enter your new home to discover a well-equipped kitchen space which transcends into an open plan dining and sitting area, a smart and tasteful spot to delight in family mealtimes or reflect on your holiday thus far.

During warmer months, venture out to the decking area to soak up the last of the sun’s rays with your favourite beverage; when the night draws to a close, retreat to one of two generously proportioned bedrooms, complete with either a double or twin bed, with the option for the latter to be a super-king-size, and each serviced by a handy shower room.

The village of Aberlour lies only a short distance from your doorstep, with several excellent pubs on offer, serving a fine selection of tasty local produce and of course, showcases its very own distillery; it is also home to the world-famous Walkers Shortbread which you won’t want to miss!

Be sure to visit the splendid Ballindalloch Castle and Gardens, known as the “Pearl of the North”, where you can traverse acres of formal gardens, woodlands, and riverside walks.

In Craigellachie, expand your historical knowledge at the notorious Craigellachie bridge or treat your loved ones to a Scotch Whisky Immersion at The Macallan.

For fans of The Crown, take a day trip to the lively city of Aberdeen, where you can see Slains Castle in all its glory; it was also thought to have been the inspiration for the setting of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula.

For The Riverside Gallery and Loch Ness, head to Inverness.

Whether it’s whisky, wildlife, or walking, it’s all here in abundance at Meikle Conval.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 1116426, together sleeping up to six guests.

About the location

DUFFTOWN

Elgin 20 miles; Aviemore 46 miles; Aberdeen 50 miles: Inverness 56 miles.

Dufftown is situated in the heart of Speyside in north east Scotland and is a thriving and lively small town. It is also right on the Malt Whisky Trail and the old saying goes, “Rome was built on seven hills, Dufftown stands on seven stills”. There are now nine distilleries in the area so a spot of whisky tasting is a must, unless you are the driver of course! Apart from the distilleries it is easy to access the world famous salmon fishing of the Strathspey area and permits can be obtained locally. Dufftown has an 18-hole golf course complete with breathtaking scenery and guests are made very welcome. In the winter months staying in the area provides great value for skiers and snowboarders as it is only a 50 minute drive to the Lecht ski slopes and Aviemore is an hour or so away, plus The Cabrach is a ‘Dark Sky Designated Area’ which is ideal for astronomers.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Off-season
