Everything you could wish for and more...
Spacious and tastefully designed/decorated Luxury holiday home with 5 star facilities...set in its own large secluded gardens in the beautiful location of Nethy Bridge, within the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park, north of Aviemore and south of Granton on Spey.
Perfect luxury family accommodation, with everything you will ever need for that luxury home from home experience.. I literally had to pack my clothes as everything else was there..
Amazing facilities with 3 luxury ensuite bedrooms, further bedroom all with luxury quality bedding/towels and a large family bathroom.
Living accommodation was perfect with every mod con required and more, Plenty to keep kids amused with Large TV/DVD Xbox within games room.. and free Wifi...
Lovely touch of fresh food welcome pack to get you started with breakfast...
Local shop and hotel within minutes walk...
Large garden with 9 hole putting green, swings, tree swing, but also badminton/soft ball tennis bikes available too. Just not enough hours in the day to utilise everything provided...
Large patio area with tables /chairs /BBQ, perfect for alfresco dining, whilst watching the local wildlife was amazing...
A visit on the Cairngorm funicular a must, as is a trip to Loch Morlich,
Thank you .... A truly fabulous holiday experience... can't wait to return.

This newly upgraded property has every comfort you'd ever need to make for a great holiday - well appointed bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms but also has that important bath for young children. Excellent kitchen with every utensil imaginable. Spacious living room and games room where both have large HDTV's with games facilities on the monitor. More DVD's than you could ever watch in several months. Amazing!
All this is surrounded by woodland and a large lawn which is ideal for putting , football, badminton etc. Lots of this equipment supplied along with mountain bikes which we made use of. There is an epic swing from a big tree too - great fun. There are regular visits to the garden by roe deer, rabbits and red squirrels who seem quite unconcerned when people are about.
Nethy Bridge is a delightful village with a well stocked shop, a hotel which serves standard bar meals and an excellent butcher shop. You can easily cycle or walk in the network of paths and quiet roads in the immediate area with the wider area providing every possible opportunity for outdoor activity at any level. We enjoyed a short dinghy hire at Loch Morlich with our 5 year old grandson. Facilities there were excellent with all equipment provided at modest cost. Landmark at Carrbridge is another 'must do'. You could, however, have a great holiday without spending a lot on these 'special' extras.
Its also well located for exploring the Moray Coast, Spey Valley Whisky Trail, Inverness, Fort George, Culloden - list could be long....
We would highly recommend Balnagowan and hope we'll be back before long.

The "old" Balnagowan Mill provided first class accommodation and facilities in a beautiful setting. The "new" Balnagowan Mill with its additional rooms and superb furnishings and fittings offers guests a service par excellence. We had a wonderful week thanks to Paula and Jim, (who are to be complimented on their interior design choices), and can't wait to get back

We have stayed in balnagowan mill many times over the years. The location is great and the kids love the large garden. The accommodation has always been very good, and the new extension and improvements to the existing part of the house have made it even better. The new en suite in the master bedroom of the existing house is a great addition. The extension with 2 en suite bedrooms and a family room is modern and luxurious. We love it and will come back again.
