The Mains

About this property

Lhanbryde 4 miles. The Mains is a traditional Speyside two-storey stone farmhouse nestled close to a private tennis court and enjoying direct access to the woodland garden. Providing a perfect base for a family to explore the wonders of Moray, The Mains rests at the heart of Speyside's renowned heritage of malt whisky, gardens, castles and fishing, including the iconic River Spey, home to the world's best salmon fishing. Once you’ve parked in your off-road parking spot, admire the chocolate-box design of your new-home-from-home. Dump your fishing tackle and dirty walking boots in the utility room before getting comfortable in the lounge, presented with plenty of seating and a woodburning stove for those chilly winter periods. Take command in the kitchen and whip up a feast, serving dinner at the dining table or at the outdoor dining set on a warmer evening. As your eyes grow heavy, retire upstairs to the king-size or twin bedroom, while there is also a double downstairs. Wash away the day with a shower in the family bathroom, or settle for a deep soak in the bath as you recover from a day’s hiking. The site itself boasts a secluded, shared tennis court, a pottery studio with a woodburning kiln and resident potter with a showroom, along with a coachhouse music studio offering courses and a 70-acre Grade I listed woodland garden, where you can explore lochans, rare species of plants and burns. Discover the beauty of Scotland with a stay at Mains House. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1096358, 1036541 and 1036542, together sleeping up to 28 guests. EPC Rating: Band F
