Superbly located on the slopes above the River Spey, Bogroy provides fully modernised holiday accommodation in a traditional Shepherds cottage, with stunning views of the surrounding Speyside countryside and away to the Cairngorm Mountains.
The property is well off the beaten track, but only a short (country) walk to Archiestown, where you will find a hotel/restaurant, post office & grocery shop. A short drive takes you down into the valley to Aberlour where a good range of independent shops (including a not to be missed Deli), hotels and restaurants can be found. Slightly further afield (roughly a 30 minute drive) are Elgin and Grantown on Spey, offering a wider variety of supermarkets, shops and restaurants.

Slightly further afield (roughly a 30 minute drive) are Elgin and Grantown on Spey, offering a wider variety of supermarkets, shops and restaurants. There is an attractive walk (40 minutes or so) through the owner's woodland estate, down to Aberlour with a foot bridge over the river into town; but do note it is downhill all the way so the return home is slightly longer and more strenuous.
The choice of places to visit and things to do and see is numerous but briefly your itinerary might include an enjoyable visit to local distilleries at Aberlour and Cardhu, take in the Knockando Wool Mill, a day trip to the seaside town of Cullen or the Moray Firth with the chance of Dolphin and whales if you are lucky, a day to trip Inverness which is the Capital of the Highlands, visiting Elgin Cathedral and of course the wonderful Speyside countryside.
Outdoor activities include excellent fishing on the Spey, Mountain bike and cycling routes, pleasant walks on the Speyside Way or more strenuous walks and climbs in the nearby Cairngorm Mountains. The cottage has a lockable store shed for fishing tackle, bikes and canoes, with a useful heated boot lobby/rear vestibule for wet outdoor kit.
The spacious family accommodation has been modernised to an excellent standard while retaining the character of the cottage. The thoughtfully laid out open plan ground floor living room/dining room/kitchen makes a cosy and charming living space with attractive hardwood flooring and a superb log stove fire to enjoy in the winter months. The ground floor double bedroom and bathroom allows easy access for all ages which with the upstairs bedrooms makes the cottage suitable for multi generation families and groups.

This was everything we needed and more. So tranquil and picturesque. Well equipped and perfectly cleaned. A real home from home for that perfect relaxing break. We were sad to leave but the memories of the views will last a lifetime.

A Very Nice Holiday Cottage!
We stayed at Bogroy cottage for a week at the end of November 2021, with our last night coinciding with the arrival of Storm Arwen. Unbelievably, Bogroy cottage was one of very few cottages in the area that didn’t lose electricity or water!
The cottage was easy to find, however, the only thing stopping us from eating it 5/5 was that the farm track to the cottage was filled with deep potholes which needed great caution to safely negotiate in a regular car.
The cottage was very nicely furnished, which included an excellent Morso stove. The cottage was also serviced by reasonable internet (~9mbps).
It’s surroundings and views are fantastic. Lovely wild birds and deer were spotted around the gardens.
The kitchen was more than adequately functional and the oil-fired central heating kept us warm.
Clean, cosy, comfortable and relaxing! We would recommend Bogroy cottage!
