Auchnascraw Mill is situated in the picturesque, heather-clad Ladder Hills of the Braes of Glenlivet, located within the Cairngorms National Park. Originally built in the 1830s as a working mill grinding oats for the local farming community, the stone mill has been transformed into a modern, light-filled and characterful living space, while retaining many of its original features. These include the original millstones, exposed stone walls, a flagstone floor, gearshaft and gearwheels, as well as bespoke touches crafted by a local blacksmith.

The mill has been thoughtfully decorated throughout with high-quality furnishings and accessories. Underfloor heating keeps the downstairs cosy and a woodstove in the living area adds extra warmth and charm. Unlimited 4G WiFi provides strong, reliable connectivity for streaming, gaming and even working remotely. An EE 4G mobile signal is available, depending on your network provider.

The open-plan living and dining space is perfect for relaxing, with ample seating to enjoy the views, read, play games, do puzzles, watch TV, or sip a dram of your favourite whisky. The large windows let in plenty of natural light and offer lovely views of the surrounding landscape, with opportunities to spot wildlife and soak in the peaceful surroundings. The fully equipped kitchen includes an induction range oven and cooker, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, blender, kettle and coffee maker. A cosy kitchen table offers the perfect spot for a casual breakfast or cup of tea.

Guests will find all the essentials provided, including cooking ingredients such as salt, pepper, olive oil, and spices, as well as tea, instant and ground coffee, kitchen supplies like paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher tablets, laundry soap and two hairdryers. An iron and ironing board are also available, along with kindling and logs for the woodstove. The utility room is a practical space for storing outdoor gear after walks, with options for drying clothes using either the outdoor line or indoor airer.

The bedrooms are designed to ensure a restful night's sleep. The master bedroom features a super-king pillow-top mattress, a built-in closet, a dresser and a comfortable couch with stunning views from the windows. A skylight above the bed offers the chance to stargaze or can be covered with blackout blinds for complete darkness. The second bedroom can be set up with two single beds or as a super-king, depending on your preference. It includes two tub chairs, a mini balcony overlooking the nearby road and farmland, an open closet and a writing desk. Skylights brighten the room during the day and allow for star viewing at night, with blackout blinds available for uninterrupted sleep. For extra sleeping space, the sofa bed nook upstairs can be set up as a king-size bed. Positioned in an open area between the two bedrooms and across from the upstairs bathroom, the nook has a skylight for natural light and a blackout blind for privacy and rest.

Surrounded by farmland and hills, Auchnascraw Mill offers stunning views from every window. Wildlife sightings are common, with roe deer, hares, pheasants, lapwings, curlews, oystercatchers, garden birds and the occasional hedgehog among the visitors. Spring brings the joy of watching lambs at play and the ever-changing weather and dramatic skies provide a constant connection to nature. Located within the Tomintoul and Glenlivet Cairngorms Dark Sky Park, the mill is ideal for stargazing, offering incredible views of constellations, the Milky Way and, on occasion, the Northern Lights. The quiet, peaceful nights are filled with the gentle sounds of the natural world, making Auchnascraw Mill the perfect place to unwind and reconnect.
