Ballinluig Croft is a stunning 4-bedroom lodge in Grantown on Spey, at the northern edge of the Cairngorm National Park. This spacious Highland retreat sits on a working farm with breathtaking mountain views and offers the perfect base for exploring Speyside's attractions. It's the kind of place where you'll wake up planning your hot tub session before you've even had your morning coffee.

The Highlands location puts you right in Scotland's outdoor playground. Just 14 miles from Craggan Outdoors activity centre and within easy reach of famous Speyside distilleries. Whisky lovers can reach The Glenlivet in just 19 miles - though maybe save the tasting for after you've tried the local hiking trails.
