Muckrach Country House

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.
