4-star converted barn in Aberlour with a whisky-themed interior
The Barn
The Barn is a 4-star apartment set in a renovated farm building on the outskirts of Aberlour. The one-bedroom conversion uses recycled materials locally sourced and displays a Speyside whisky-themed interior with barrels. Guests at The Barn have express check-in/check-out and luggage storage.
The Apartment
The one-bedroom apartment at The Barn has a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and stovetop, plus a dining area and garden views. A wood-burning stove, an extra-length bed, and a TV with a collection of DVDs furnish the living and sleeping spaces in this Speyside apartment. The private bathroom includes a rainfall-style shower, bathrobes, and large towels.
Kitchen
The host at The Barn stocks the kitchen with cooking oil, spices, cereal, and fresh milk, along with shortbread, bodywash, and a welcome dram of whisky. A book in the Speyside apartment documents the building's renovation with recycled materials. Honey butter, muesli, Walkers cookies, and a fruiting plum tree in the garden are among the extra touches.
Location
The Barn sits at the edge of Aberlour village, within walking distance of the town and GlenAllachie distillery. Aberlour distillery is a 3-minute drive away, while Elgin Cathedral is 26 km from the apartment. Inverness Airport is 63 km away, and Huntly Castle, Brodie Castle, Linn Falls, and Ben Rinnes are within reach for day trips.
Services
Host Michelle meets guests at the road on arrival and offers advice on visiting options in the area. She has responded quickly to messages and once covered a guest's car window to protect it from rain. Free on-site private parking at The Barn is in the back yard, away from the road.
