House Of Avochie

Occupying a beautiful spot surrounded by the breathtaking countryside of the magnificent Avochie Estate, this impressive Victorian lodge is an unforgettable venue for a special occasion. Offering spacious and elegant holiday accommodation for up to 11 guests across five beautiful bedrooms, the lodge overlooks the River Deveron as it winds through the estate. The property is set within beautiful gardens where nature lovers and birdwatchers will spot a fabulous range of wildlife, and anglers can head to the riverbanks for a spot of fishing. The house itself offers some superb reception rooms and living spaces, with a pretty lounge/library, a delightful morning room, a fantastic dining room, light-filled conservatory and a characterful snooker room, making the property an ideal retreat for larger families and groups of friends seeking a secluded and tranquil holiday home.

The characterful entrance hall welcomes you into this charming home, leading through to the picturesque morning room and the delightful lounge, each with a lovely open fire. The lounge also has an eclectic library and a sweet circular seating area with river views, perfect for playing cards or a board game. There are two main dining areas – the elegant dining room and the beautiful conservatory which overlooks the garden and has underfloor heating. The ground floor also has a wonderful farmhouse-style kitchen with an AGA and a useful breakfast table. On the lower ground floor, you will find the snooker room with an open fire set in a stunning fireplace. A table tennis table can be found in a neighbouring room alongside a handy utility room. Heading back upstairs, there are five bright and relaxing first-floor bedrooms to choose between: a cheerful twin, two twin zip-and-link rooms which can be made up as super-king-size rooms on request, a pretty super-king-size room with en-suite bathroom, and a triple room with single beds and a low ceiling – this room is perfect for children and has windows overlooking the river. There are also two beautifully decorated bathrooms on the first floor. Outside, the stunning gardens extend for a couple of acres, offering plenty of space for you to explore and for children to run and play. The grounds have some charming seating areas for you to sit back and enjoy the birdsong, with steps leading up to a picnic table perfect for dining alfresco. Across the driveway, there are tennis courts and the banks of the river.
