Nestled in the heart of beautiful Speyside, The Hayloft at Brylach Steading offers a peaceful and characterful retreat steeped in history.

Wake up to fresh Highland air, enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the courtyard, and unwind after a day exploring one of Scotland’s most celebrated regions.
The nearby villages of Rothes, Craigellachie, and Aberlour offer welcoming cafés, pubs, and local shops, while Elgin — just 20 minutes away — provides larger supermarkets, historic landmarks, and transport links.

About the host
Hosted by Louise Christopher
We moved to the Scottish Highlands from London last year. We love this stunning area and community and feel lucky to be here every day. Brylach Steading is a historic, listed property that we're determined to be good custodians of. We love meeting our guests from all different walks of life and helping them to make the most of their stay in Speyside whether here for holidays, celebrations, work or anything else.
Why they chose this property
It's simply stunning. We came on holidays in January and couldn't believe that even at that time of year it was still so beautiful! The combination of mountains, glens, beaches and forests is extraordinary!
What makes this property unique
We're part of a very old historic estate and the building is very unique being a closed courtyard, once housing horses and carriages for the family's holiday residence in the 1800's.
