The Dell of Abernethy sits within three acres of mature grounds on the edge of the Abernethy forest, 1 mile from the centre of Nethy Bridge. Built in 1780 for the head forester of Seafield estate, The Dell is surrounded by river flat grazing and dwarfed by 200 year old oak, horse chestnut and the fragrant Lime tree, which has been known to ‘calm ones nerves by simply walking beneath’. A labyrinth of forest tracks leads out from the doorstep of The Dell, ideal for wildlife spotting, mountain biking and cross country ski-ing. A 30-minute drive will take you to the top of the Cairngorms, into the heart of Rothiemurchus or up into the wild moor lands en route to the Moray coast beaches. Nethy bridge village centre is a 20-minute walk from The Dell either by riverside walk, forest wander or scenic amble down the road taking in some of the beautiful architecture of old Nethy. The village, which has been a popular holiday favourite since the Victorian times remains unspoilt and is a quiet, friendly place. Our six charming stone cottages all have their own private aspect and sleep between two and seven guests. Four have been converted from the wings of the main house and have wood-burning stoves and a further two have been added in a garden bungalow. Dell Lodge sleeps up to nine guests and faces south with incredible views of the Cairngorms. All are set in safe secluded grounds and provide a peaceful escape and great base for exploring the wilds of the Cairngorm National Park

Duck down duvet and deep hot baths, birdsong and squirrels in the garden. Peaceful woodland hammocks, hearty junior adventures, scones, roses, rhubarb and petanque. The Dell is available for self-catering holidays for full and part weeks, weddings, events and group bookings of up to 37 guests. www.holiday-cairngorm.co.uk e. [email protected] t. (01479) 821643

We think it’s about time for an old school Halloween Dance Party in the Tipi! Who's with us?

For those of you who graced the dancefloor over the big birthday weekend, you’ll remember the perfection of the tunes, so it only seems right to bring back the brilliant The WOOK

Tickets are limited and can be purchased here - https://buytickets.at/thedellofabernethy/2453434

Saturday 31st October 6-11pm, £8 adults.

No outfit, no entry! But free rein on theme and big prizes for best costumes!

This will also mark the change in season but this year it’s going to be a bit different...
The Gather Inn has been embedded in our hearts and it seems silly to stop for the season. This year we’re going to just keep going if and when we can. It’ll be smaller, less regular and very reliant on the weather / temperature but it feels like winter is perhaps when we all need it the most; connection, warmth and a weekly blether.

More on that to come soon.

In the meantime we'd love to see you in the dancefloor at the end of the month

Our lovely Dell Lodge has some availability over the October holidays, a perfect chance to get away with your loved ones and soak up the beautiful autumnal feel of the Cairngorms.

With gorgeous forest walks on the doorstep, lots of local adventurous activities for the family and mountain backdropped lochs for cold refreshing dips, it's our favourite time of year here!

The Friday night Gather Inn will be running throughout October and our Dell Grocer is open Monday to Saturday with all the holiday treats you could ask for.

If you fancy a last minute gateway, then head to our booking link I'm our biog for availability and pricing
