1 / 24The Mill Of Ballintomb
Carron, Moray
A converted barley mill for eleven near Archiestown where every bedroom is en suite, with an open fire, the original millstone and a fenced garden with the old mill stream, two dogs welcome.
Every bedroom at The Mill of Ballintomb is en suite, which for a house sleeping eleven is the detail that makes mornings easy. The mill is the charm: a dog friendly Speyside conversion near Archiestown for two dogs and their party, contemporary in taste yet full of original features, the millstone included.
The elegant lounge has two seating areas for a family occasion, and the open dining and kitchen space beyond is made for big family meals. A four oven range style cooker, two fridges and two freezers say the house expects proper catering, dogs underfoot included. The bedrooms sit across the two upper floors, full of light and wonderful views, from the gorgeous king master suite with its dual aspect windows to the attic room, a fun hideaway for children with a bath of its own.
The dogs keep to the ground floor, where a dog bed is provided for them, and with the open fire in the lounge that is where the evenings gather anyway. Outside, the grounds of the mill are romantic and rambling: the garden is fenced, bulbs sprout in spring, and the old mill stream runs through it, with plenty for two dogs to investigate.
Archiestown and its square are a mile's walk away, and the Speyside Way begins about a mile off too, a trail along the River Spey to the Moray coast; just follow the river with the dogs. Distilleries on the Speyside Whisky Trail are all around, Aberlour has a greater range of shops and eateries, and RIB trips go out to see the dolphins. Eleven people will find the week fills itself; the dogs only need the stream explained to them once.

Are dogs allowed at The Mill Of Ballintomb year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given the garden comes with sledges in the games cupboard, it's clear the house is set up for visits across the seasons.
What should I know before visiting The Mill Of Ballintomb with my dog?
Dogs are welcome but kept to the ground floor — the upper bedroom floors are off limits for them.
