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

A wee reminder to you all that The Gather Inn won't be running next Friday as we will be hosting the wonderful Emma and Isobel for their gorgeous wedding. Back with a bang on 19th though along with and

Also while we have you .... we love that the Gather Inn is so well attended by families, and we love that children have a space here to enjoy themselves as much as their parents. But we also need to ensure safety in order for this to continue and we need your help in order for that to happen. So this is another wee reminder that your kids must be supervised by a responsible adult at the play area. It can get pretty wild there as I'm sure some of you know and often not a parent in sight 😊

But we also want to take this chance to thank everyone's continued Friday support. We couldn't do it without you and it's our favourite night of the week!

This guy! Our Woody is just ten days away from finishing up his sponsored ‘dip a day in May’ (extended a bit due to sickness)
A few years ago he raised over a grand to help kickstart a solar panel project in a tiny remote village in Fiji after connecting with the folks there when we visited. It made a huge impact where several households now have refridgeration, internet etc and a much more sustainable energy source.
We’re now hoping to support the next phase to roll out to more households within the same village of Nalauwaki but really need your support.
However big or small, any donation is incredibly welcome and let’s help Woody smash his target!
It means so much! Thank you xx

We’re delighted to be welcoming back William Hamer of the Wilder Kitchen for our Autumn Supper Club on the 10th of October.
William is a real genius when cooking with fire and produces the most incredible menu all from his rig kitchen in the woods.
Don’t miss this one!

If you’ve been to the Dell you’ll have definitely met our wee dug Teddy. He is such a gorgeous Cockapoo and landed into our family right at the best time to enjoy so much love and adventures.
We would really love to carry on his very special gene lines and are currently looking for a suitor to ideally breed this year.
Do get in touch if you’d like to have a chat.

Fresh back from the most incredible retreat with and, for the first time, I truly understand the transformative power of a residential retreat.

Having usually been the one hosting or cooking, quietly observing from the sidelines, I’ve always loved watching shoulders soften, routines slow, and a gentler pace emerge.

At The Dell, we’re making an intentional shift towards more thoughtful wellness and retreat experiences — whether for yoga, creative learning, or team residencies.

This year, we’re introducing a new Wellness Garden, complete with sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge. Our woodland Tipi (open from Easter to Halloween) will be available as a beautiful space for yoga, workshops, and creative gatherings, while the Lodge offers the perfect cosy setting for winter retreats.

We’re also thrilled to welcome the brilliant chef , whose nourishing, seasonal food is a huge part of the experience.

We have one remaining retreat slot available this year: 5–9 October. If you’re looking for a special setting to host a retreat, workshop, or residency, do get in touch ✨
