One of the nicest properties we stayed at during our visit to Scotland, and the best in the Spey Valley area. Elegant, well designed and friendly. The dinner and breakfast were very good. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

Irad Israel

The lodge is a perfect blend of class and comfort with a dedicated staff who make every effort to make sure the stay is a wonderful experience.

Ryan Netherlands

The property, staff, restaurant, and facilities are all first class. It’s exactly what you imagine when picturing a Scottish country house hotel. The interior design is fresh and it’s obvious the owners spend time and money keeping it that way.

David United States of America

When we drove up to the property right a dusk the setting was spectacular with the lights on and enough natural light gave a fantastic presentation! It was only got better from there! The staff, food and rooms were awesome!

Jeffrey United States of America

Muckrach Country House Hotel

The Cowap family have restored this beautiful Victorian shooting lodge to its previous glory, from a bare-bones building to a luxurious and vibrant Scottish Highland hotel which now features its own coffee shop and restaurant.

We are a 4-star luxury hotel in the Highlands of Scotland, only a 20 minute drive from Aviemore. Our 13 bedroom luxury property is situated in Cairngorm National Park (the UK’s largest National Park) and is the perfect choice for an active trip or relaxing break - the choice is yours!

We are surrounded by 10 acres of spectacular pastureland and a Scottish castle; making us an ideal choice of accommodation for short trips and weekend breaks in Scotland. The lodge is recognised as a fun-filled hub for shooting, skiing and fishing. The two newest rooms can be found adjacent to the main hotel. These two rooms are dog friendly (Dog Friendly Garden Room and Dog Friendly Garden Suite) and your well behaved dogs are allowed on a lead in the Library of the hotel.
