About Muckrach Country House
Muckrach Country House stands in its own grounds at Dulnain Bridge, between Grantown-on-Spey and Carrbridge, in the quieter northern part of Strathspey. Built as a Victorian shooting lodge, it has been restored and reopened as a Highland house that takes bookings both by the night and for exclusive private hire, sleeping up to 22 across the property.
The eleven bedrooms are all en-suite and generously proportioned, in keeping with the original scale of the house. Downstairs the public rooms are the point of the place: a drawing room with a grand piano, a library, a bar and a cinema room, plus a domestic kitchen with an optional commercial kitchen for groups who want to bring in their own catering. That flexibility makes it a natural choice for family gatherings, shooting and fishing parties and small weddings, as well as for couples simply wanting a comfortable base.
The setting is well placed for both halves of Speyside. Grantown-on-Spey and its salmon beats are a few minutes north, Aviemore and the Cairngorm ski road around twenty minutes south, and the Speyside distilleries an easy run to the north-east. Loch Garten, Abernethy Forest and the Strathspey Railway at Boat of Garten are all close, and the surrounding pinewood offers some of the best low-level walking and cycling in the national park.

What guests say
My best overnight stop in Scotland ever. The hosts Andrea and Donnie were absolutely amazing and they went out of their way to make me feel at home. The rooms were 5 star and the breakfast was out of this world, freshly prepared and superbly presented.

Amazing! Beautiful! Fantastic!! Can't say enough great things about this place! Would recommend staying here to anyone wanting to get away to a stately, charming estate in the country surrounded by breathtaking scenery and Scottish Cows outside and delicious food and great company inside. Stay for a weekend (at least) at an historic manorhouse with the best breakfast in Scotland!

We had the most lovely welcome from Louise, Donny and Andrea. The Muckrach Country House Hotel feels more like a stay in a beautiful home than a hotel - the sitting rooms, library, bar and dining room are all so comfortable and beautifully decorated. We were made to feel relaxed and at home - there’s no rush here!

We had our wedding at Muckrach Country House, as an exclusive use venue. They were easy to work with, communicative and accommodating - we booked the venue 4 months before our wedding day! Jozsef was very friendly and helpful when organising our day, and very knowledgable about the running of the house. We felt in safe hands. The house is beautifully decorated - elegant but also homely and cozy. It was the perfect feel for our intimate wedding. The house was well equipped and the bedrooms are well sized and comfortable. The event space was beautiful with lots of natural light. We loved the library and bar area for photographs! Muckrach Country House is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding! We would go back there in a heartbeat!
