The Hayloft is a romantic, one bedroom hideaway in the stunning Rothiemurchus Estate, Cairngorms National Park. A lovingly converted barn surrounded by nature and picturesque views. The property is within walking distance of Loch an Eilein and Rothiemurchus’ network of hiking and cycling trails. Perfect for those seeking some peace and quiet in an unspoilt, tranquil location and an ideal base for exploring all that the local area has to offer. The space Dating back to 1832, The Hayloft consists of the entire upper floor of an original detached carriage house, used in the old days by the Minister living at The Old Manse. The coach and horses were housed on the ground floor and hay kept on the upper floor. The carriage house has now been lovingly given a new lease of life with the refurbishment of the exterior, including the addition of a large deck, and a complete renovation of The Hayloft, to create a cosy and romantic hideaway. The decor is an eclectic mix of modern, vintage and industrial, offering a contemporary yet rustic Scandinavian cabin style. With exposed beams and lots of wood accents and natural elements, The Hayloft is a calm and inviting space. The carriage house lower floor is today kept purely for storage. The interior space includes one spacious double bedroom (king size bed) with luxury cotton bed linen, blankets and plenty of storage. There is one bathroom with a walk-in shower, underfloor heating and complimentary toiletries - bath towels are provided. The living, dining and kitchen space is open plan. For guest entertainment there is a 43 inch smart TV, with Netflix, BT Sport Amazon Prime video and much more plus an array of books and board games. A fully equipped, modern kitchen is nicely tucked in here; with a fridge (with ice box), 2 way ceramic hob, combination microwave/oven, kettle, toaster and a Bosch Tassimo coffee machine.
