Spring has sprung at The Old Manse of Blair, and we’re excited to share all the news with you!
Welcoming Guests from Around the World
March was a busy month filled with friendly faces from Argentina to Tokyo. We’ve loved creating authentic Scottish experiences for all our guests.
New Website & Refreshed Accommodations
Our new website is live, offering a smooth and informative way to plan your stay here in the Cairngorms National Park.
We’ve also completed the refurbishment of our Bothy Suite, and the feedback has been fantastic! We’re continuously investing in keeping our rooms fresh, welcoming, and comfortable. It’s warm enough now for us to start on our exterior painting too, first up the farm shop and stables ready for the upcoming season. We will also be refurbishing our main door mansion entrance and restoring the original lighting too with the assistance of some experts in antique restoration.
Spring at The Old Manse
The frosts are (hopefully) behind us, and work has begun on refreshing our gardens and greenhouse. Get ready for a vibrant display of spring blooms!
Lunches are also back on Fridays to Sundays, featuring delicious seasonal flavours. Reserve your table online to savour the taste of spring.
