4 spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms made it a perfect place to spread out. As a mom, i loved having a washer and dryer available. My girls loved having a small private yard to run around in.
We sent one message about the TV/Netflix to the owner and never heard back, but other than that everything was wonderful.

Issac,
I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Convalmore House, and that your family was able to make the most of all it had to offer!
Apologies that I replied to you the next day about your Nexflix request (my message on the messaging whats app remains unread), but unfortunately we do not provide this and it must have been a previous guests account that was signed in that was requiring a password.
I hope you and your family had a safe onward journey and we would welcome you back at any time!
All the best,
Michael
The house is incredible. While the pics are great, the house exceeded our expectations. Very comfortable and clear throughout. The trail alongside the house leading to the Whisky Train, The Balvenie Distillery and Gledfiddich Distillery was used frequently! Its a peaceful way to travel on foot to avoid the road. The smattering of pamphlets and fliers for things to do in and around Dufftown was appreciated. Overall a wonderful place in an amazing location.
Für 4 Erwachsene ein sehr geräumiges Haus mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen mehrtägigen Aufenthalt braucht. Die Küchenausstattung war sensationell, für Selbstversorger optimal. Etwas gestört hat die Straße, die jedoch nur tagsüber stark befahren ist und bei geschlossenen Fenstern hört man sie gar nicht. Abgesehen vom Haus selbst liegen viele Whiskydestillerien in naher Umgebung
Li and his guests were a pleasure to host and we would welcome them back at any time.
