Available again after a two-year break, The Challey at Heathcote is a unique property situated in Knockando, in the heart of Speyside whisky country. The house makes a perfect base for a couple or perhaps a single guest looking to visit and experience all that this area has to offer.
The property is all on one level and consists of a lounge complete with a comfortable sofa, wood burner, and flat-screen TV. The kitchen has all the usual kitchen appliances and a breakfast bar for dining. The bedroom has a king-size bed. A beautiful shower room with a large walk-in shower completes the facilities. Outside, there is a decked terrace with furniture overlooking the garden.
The owner lives in an adjacent property; however, this property does have its own private space.
Knockando is a perfect area for a relaxing holiday or for exploring the Morayshire coastline or Speyside. It is the location of two distilleries, Knockando and Tamdhu. It also hosts the famous Knockando Woolmill, which has been running since 1784 and is the only existing working example of a small-scale rural textile mill in Scotland.
If you are looking for local walks, the Speyside Way runs right in front of the property. It is a long-distance trail that runs from Buckie on the shore of the Moray Firth coast to Aviemore on the edge of the Cairngorm Mountains, approximately 65 miles.
Only 17 miles away, Forres offers many things to see and do. Being one of Scotland’s oldest and smallest towns, it features a classic castle, impressive parks, and gardens with outstanding floral sculptures.
Explore the bustling high street and find a wide range of craft shops, art galleries, cafes, and restaurants. Another great place to visit is the 16th-century Brodie Castle, only 4 miles west of Forres. It houses some of the most breathtaking grounds and blooming flowers. The River Findhorn also meanders through this area and offers several excellent picnic spots that are fantastic for days out.

Another cosy stay at the Challey. Still lots to see and do in the area, the Challey makes an ideal base.
Thank you.
We spent a wonderful week in the Challey. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and every home comfort was catered for. It is in such a peaceful location, which is really only interrupted by birdsong, yet all amenities are easily accessible should you wish to be more active. It is a place to relax and we would happily return!
We just keep coming back...read into that what you will, but if you don't stay here then you are missing out!!
Well appointed chalet with everything you could possibly want for a couple. Superbly comfortable bedroom, lovely bathroom and kitchen with everything you could possibly need and also very peaceful. Excellent location for visiting distilleries and indeed the woollen mill. Convenient for Speyside Way as well. Position on Map is incorrect it's beside the last house on the road above where it is marked by Google. It's not in the station car park. Highly recommend it as somewhere to stay. Will go back again.
Once again, I stayed in the Challey - yes, I keep coming back!! The Challey is owned by the nicest people who go out of their way to make sure the high standards set here are maintained. If you want a peaceful break in the Spey valley then this is the place!! You won't be disappointed!!
We have stayed at the Challey quite a few times now and just love the setting...and it's position close to the River Spey, Speyside Way...and of course more distilleries than you can shake a stick - do a DRAMble around many!! We love the hiking possibilities all around us.
The Challey is very comfortable, well appointed - the hosts also live on next door and are extremely welcoming and helpful.
If you are looking for somewhere different to go to in Scotland then we can highly recommend the Challey!!!
