The dining area provides a welcoming space for entertaining, creating a warm and atmospheric experience for gatherings with family and friends.
Set within two acres of private garden, The Maltings offers plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh Highland air. Highlights include a dedicated outdoor dining area for al fresco meals, a recently renovated log cabin summerhouse perfect for quiet moments or imaginative play for children, and a luxury hot tub allowing guests to soak in the stunning surroundings while enjoying Scotland’s ever-changing landscapes.
The Maltings comfortably accommodates up to eight guests across four beautifully designed bedrooms: a king-size bedroom with en-suite, a king-size bedroom, a double bedroom, and a twin bedroom. The lodge also features two additional bathrooms, a cloakroom WC, and a utility room with washing and drying facilities.

The property was a little hard to find. One access route is used but not the one linked to the bin store- which was a little inconvenient. However the Maltings was incredibly well maintained, with everything one would need to spend a week in sublime sunshine with heat of 26 degree's in October. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary items for my husband - who still takes his own knives and half a kitchen everywhere we go. The garden was inclosed minus a small gap that the dog wiggled through at the gate, we put some rocks up against it to stop his great escape attempt two. This was no issue ( he is a small dog). Although the place was well kept, there was a broken chair on arrival, a bulb or two out on some lights and it would be nice to have a proper brochure of how to use the facilities. It took us a few online searches to get the oven working, we never managed to understand the ice machine, and we couldnt figure out where the keys where for the outdoor storage area untill we emailed to ask. None of these things put a dampner on what was a perfect holiday celebrating my big birthday with friends and family. We lucked out with the weather, surrounded by the stunning autumnal colours.

Rooms were spacious and clean. Didnt see host but were made welcome. We had no pets. Situated in National Park made travelling to activites easy. Lots of outdoor pursuits, Landmark Centre, mountain biking, canoeing, many well-marked walks, Cairgorm venicular railway (to name but a few) available for young and old.

Five stars for the Maltings
A fabulous property with everything we needed and so much more. Quirky, clean, peaceful and fun. Hot tub enjoyed by the humans and the dog enjoyed the huge enclosed garden. Would highly recommend and would live to go back to the property again. Weather was an added bonus.

Great Lodge - nice space in garden, quite location
8 of the family joined us to hike up Munro's - annual event we will be back.
On arrival we had a big storm that generated water under the front door, which flooded the dining room, the IGLOO team immediately responded and came in to clean up the flash flood. That night and came back in the morning to do a deep clean of the dining room. We would recommend this property as a great base.
They offered to move us but this wasn't needed thank you for your great support.
