Old Drynie House

Scotland has always been on our bucket list. We are so happy to have been there and anchor ourselves at the Drynie House. Alasdair and Deidre are wonderful hosts. They could not do enough making the stay so pleasant and homey. Accommodation, breakfast, and daily itineraries provided by Alasdair were fantastic. As first time visitors to such a beautiful country it could not be better than staying at the Drynie House. We highly recommend this beautiful home to stay, anchor yourselves and enjoy the adventures and experience of Scotland’s sceneries and abundant history.

Hello Deirdre and Alasdair, My family and I had a wonderful time at your establishment. Of all our stays, Old Drynie house had the most welcoming experience. It felt cozy and like a home away from home. We wish we had the opportunity to spend more days (instead of back and forth), but will remember next time to plan more in advance. I appreciated the time Alasdair spent helping recommend places to visit.

Myself, and 2 golfing friends, arrived in Inverness in May 2023 for a 4 night golf tour.. Old Drynie House, is situated just over a 10 minute drive north of Inverness, and lies in a beautiful estate, adjacent to the Moray Firth. On arrival, we were met by husband and wife team, Alasdair and Deirdre, who quite frankly blew us away with their sincere and warm welcome. During our stay, they went above and beyond making sure that we had everything we needed, from milk, eggs, bread etc, to helping us dry our golf clubs and shoes; They provided abundant information about the surrounding area; where to eat, what to see and what to do. The accommodation was fantastic, with high quality furnishings in all bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen/dining/sitting area. I have to say that we all agreed that the attention to detail was exceptional, from beautiful paintings, to unique ornaments and decor. In addition to all of this, we spent quite a few hours in their exceptional games suite, which include full size snooker table, darts, table football etc. Old Drying House is surrounded by a spectacular garden, with beautiful trees, a large manicured lawn, an amazing display of every type of tulips, natural wood sculptures, cut into a large vertical tree trunk, and a raised platform with a bench table, where you can sit with a beer, or a glass of wine, whilst gazing out over the Moray Firth. In addition, and adjacent to the garden, there is a large cut field, surrounded on one side with an extensive bluebell woodland to explore. In conclusion, we all agreed that we had never had this level of experience before, and we are determined to return for another few days golf in the not too distant future. I am also looking at bringing my family to Old Drynie, as there is an abundance of interesting activities for all, in the surrounding area, and I know that our two young grandsons will just love exploring the estate. Thank you Alasdair and Deirdre x
