The Wee Spruce in Aberdeenshire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About The Wee Spruce

Making a fantastic couple’s getaway in a beautiful, secluded spot, this bright and inviting lodge is an ideal retreat for visitors exploring the picturesque landscapes and popular distilleries of the Speyside region. The property lies to the south of Charlestown of Aberlour – commonly known as Aberlour – a thriving village with a choice of craft shops, a gallery and restaurants.

The village lies along the banks of the River Spey, a popular spot for fishing. This breath-taking part of Speyside offers miles of tranquil walking trails, and is known for its many whisky distilleries, the nearest being Benrinnes and GlenAllachie (both within 1 mile) with Glenfarclas, Cardhu, Glenfiddich, Aberlour and Macallan all within 7 miles.

Other local attractions include the Speyside Cooperage Visitor Centre, Linn Falls, Speyside Falconry and Lochpark Adventure Centre, all within 12 miles. Take a trip on Britain's most northerly heritage railway at Dufftown which keeps alive an eleven-mile line linking to Keith.

Entering this delightful wooden lodge, a handy front porch provides room for wet coats and muddy boots before you head through to the cosy and idyllic lounge/kitchen/diner, providing a lovely space for you to settle back and unwind. This charming room features comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a welcoming wood burner, alongside a dining table and a useful kitchenette.

When it’s time to turn in for the night, head through to the fresh and relaxing king-size bedroom. The accommodation also offers a stylishly designed shower room with a shower, WC, a feature stone sink and whisky barrel unit.

Stepping outside, the decked area has plenty of garden furniture and makes a relaxing spot for a morning coffee or a wee dram in the evenings. There’s also a lovely hot tub for you to luxuriate in, there will be waffle robes provided and a fantastic open BBQ hut with plenty of seating.

The Wee Spruce Reviews

Rose

We had a wonderful week at the Wee Spruce. Cosy, warm, well-equipped and in walking distance from Aberlour, Ben Rinnes and the fantastic GlenAllachie distillery down the road. Lots of things to do and visit in the area, and plenty of dog friendly options. Maggie and Steve were incredibly welcoming and helpful, but also gave us privacy. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

Dylan

10/10 stay we had ! So many views and walks to see and great local food too ! Hosts was very welcoming and respected our privacy 100% ! Hot tub was amazing and clean . Bbq area was nice and relaxing too ! Lovely logburner and great heaters to keep you warm ! Lovely lovely get away place , high recommended!

Agata

Absolutely fantastic place. The hot tub was already pre-heated which we didn't expect and was a nice surprise. Lovely miniature whisky bottles as a welcome gift - we grabbed a bottle on the way back at the nearby distillery :) There were also bathrobes and disposable slippers in the bathroom, came in handy for the hot tub. Overall a very well equipped and comfortable place. I've had the best night's sleep in ages, with only tawny owls to be heard outside :) Hoping to come back.

Jamie

Great little Cabin. Nice secluded location. Nice hot tub and BBQ hut. Nice waterfall nearby. Highly recommended.

Catherine

Great quirky lodge. Good hosts, respecting privacy but on hand when needed. Limited storage so recommend taking only essential clothes. Fab hot tub and outdoor bbq - both used a lot. Our dog was very happy in the very well enclosed garden.

Diane

Amazing place to stay, well equipped with everything you need, great location to enjoy the surrounding area with many whisky distillers.

Irene

Not dog friendly as they are not allowed to run freely in the enclosed area! We were told by Steve the owner seconds after arriving not to let the dogs on the gravel, as it stains it! Also the owners house is right next to the lodge which doesnâ??t show in any photos. We thought we would have complete privacy. It felt like Big Brother. Wasted our week and a big birthday celebration!

Lesley

Was very cosy and comfortable. Lots of nice walks and outdoor bbq and hot tub were great.

Soraya

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Wee Spruce. It was a cost and comfortable base for walks up Ben Rinnes and around the Spey. The hot tub was excellent for relaxing post-hike!

Robert

Our experience at the Wee Spruce was outstanding. Steve and Maggie provided us with valuable information and guidance while also respecting our privacy. The cabin included an information pack filled with details about local walks, attractions, dining options, and more. It is just a 10-minute drive to the starting point of Ben Rinnes (a Corbett), which our dog thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally, there is a pleasant walk to the Linn Falls, as mentioned in the information pack, that is easily accessible on foot. A thoughtful addition was the log-burning starter kit, along with two small bottles of Glen Allachie Whisky.

Kevin

Very pleasant couple gave us plenty of information about the surroundings, were to walk you dog,and the local amenities, would definitely go back for a longer stay

Maria

We had a lovely week, hosts were very friendly

Jason

Me and my girlfriend have been to a few cabins and this is one of the best ones we have been to. The hot tub has amazing view of the highland hills and the night sky. The owners are really nice and incredibly welcoming and helpful. We were told that we were the first ever guests at the cabin so we went in expecting a few things to not be fully sorted out yet. But considering that, we had no real complaints. There was no sharp knifes and no shampoo or body wash but a quick drive to shop and thatâ??s sorted. It is definitely one of our favourite cabins we have ever been to and we would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it.

Landmark Theme Park is a popular family attraction in Scotland and is a great choice for those with children of varied ages. The site is packed with attractions to keep the whole family amused. Landmark is rather unique as a theme park as it is based around nature. Activities include Tree Topping and Rock climbing although there are also some more traditional theme park rides such as a log flume. The park is abundant with nature including Red Squirrels and Clydesdale Horses and there is also a new Pinewood Grill for tasty snacks and a Gift Shop.
