Old Drynie House

Wonderful hosts! Wonderful hosts at a beautiful B&B in northern Scotland. Delicious breakfast and very helpful with sightseeing plans.

Wonderful setting and lovely hosts

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.

No words to express about hospitality by the owners & the beauty of villa from inside & surrounding everything is perfectly fine The rooms The bathrooms The kitchen area The game zone The outside garden with stunning views We enjoyed Our holidays in just MAGICAL way The owner explained all details with maps of surrounding is so helpful to moving around

The owners of Drynie house go above and beyond to make sure guests are comfortable. This is a lovely home and the garden is also very well maintained and beautiful overlooking the sea. The breakfasts were exceptional with beautiful place settings and fresh local ingredients. Alisdair made sure we didn’t leave until we had his printed personal directional maps with suggestions on various places he knew about. Beds were comfortable, lots of games for kids and books for adults to get lost in, a nice tea service in the room, and the dryer and flat iron were appreciated. A nice way to be close to Inverness and enjoy touring it without having to stay in the city. Only 15 minutes from Inverness restaurants but you feel like you are in another world.

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
