About The Old Minister's House

Set in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park on the historic Rothiemurchus Estate, The Old Minister’s House offers the perfect blend of Highland charm and contemporary comfort. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, yet only a short walk from the vibrant town of Aviemore, it’s an ideal base for exploring the best of the Highlands.

This elegant former manse features five spacious en-suite bedrooms in the main house, plus a tranquil riverside suite with a further en-suite bedroom. Thoughtfully designed social spaces include a welcoming lounge with a log-burning stove, a riverside TV snug, a large dining room, fully equipped kitchen, utility room, and practical boot room, ideal for outdoor adventurers.

Outside, guests can unwind in the outdoor hot tub or gather together in the alfresco cooking and dining area, surrounded by the sounds of the nearby river.

Each bedroom takes inspiration from the surrounding landscape, combining 19th century romance with 21st century comfort. Expect crisp cotton linens, pocket-sprung mattresses, and blackout curtains for the perfect night’s sleep. Please note there are no tv's in the bedrooms.

Overall good
on Monday, 18 May 2026
After 7 years staying at the Old Ministers house we have always thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is clean and very comfortable and in an ideal situation. This time we have had an issue but are attempting to sort this out direct with GNL.Also I would mention that the dishwasher needs attention (as mentioned also last year!). It keeps coming off its runners on the bottom shelf and can be difficult to re attach. Hopefully we will be back next year

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and we acknowledge you had problems with the WiFi, we worked with the property team to find a solution and tried to make contact with you direct but did not hear back from you, until you had checked-out. The good news, a new router and boosters have now been installed which means Wifi is available throughout.
