This welcoming family home is set in
impressive gardens, overlooking the River Lossie and a 2,500 acre
mixed agricultural and sporting estate.
Moray enjoys
a milder and dryer climate than the west (and without the bugs!)
and is a perfect base for exploring whisky-kissed Speyside, enjoying
wonderful golf courses (Boat of Garten & Grantown on
Spey) and learning to fish. This is Scotland in miniature with quiet
sandy beaches, hills, heather moors and fast flowing rivers.
Constructed in
1916 and Grade A-listed, Kellas House is one of the finest examples
of a country house from the ‘Arts and Crafts’ era.
Its owners have lovingly retained features such as the two 17th century
Dutch-tiled fireplaces and the tiled kitchen.
The spacious new sun room, added in 2004, is a lovely addition to
the house offering a warm and sunny haven for guests. Why not throw
open the wide doors and spill onsto the gardens for a barbecue and
games on the expansive lawn? Guests will appreciate the continental-sized
double beds and the sociable farmhouse-style kitchen.
Kellas House
is just 20 minutes from the Moray Firth beaches and from Scotland’s
smallest city, Elgin, with its ruined castle, cathedral, restored
18th century townhouses, heritage centre and award-winning museum.
Also a short drive away is the Royal Burgh of Forres with its award-winning
floral sculptures.
Fishing and sporting packages, including pheasant and grouse shooting,
