The Details
From its elevated position on the Alvie Estate, Garradh Cottage delivers the kind of Highland wow factor that stops you in your tracks. Wide open skies, grazing sheep, ancient woodland and glittering lochs stretch out towards the Cairngorms, creating a panorama that feels almost cinematic. And with its own private wood-fired hot tub, you can take in your surroundings in true style. Whether the mountains are bathed in early sunlight or wrapped in a moody Scottish mist, the view is ever-changing and endlessly mesmerising. Inside, the cottage is just as enchanting, with farmhouse-style windows framing the landscape from almost every room.
The interiors have a curated, homely feel. Painted panelling sits alongside beautifully patterned wallpapers, heritage furnishings and thoughtful design touches that give every space a sense of calm and character. The lounge is the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the estate, with a sofa made for stretching out and a pair of inviting armchairs positioned by the wood-burning stove. Sink into the warmth, drift into a blanket-clad snooze or simply watch the changing light over the hills.
A cottage doorway leads through to the spacious kitchen, where traditional styling meets modern convenience. It’s a warm, homely room made for leisurely breakfasts, slow suppers and gathering with a glass of something good as dinner simmers on the hob. From here, you can step straight into the private back garden, where luxury meets rugged Highland surroundings. Enjoy alfresco feasts at the picnic bench, fire up the BBQ or soak in the wood-fired hot tub as steam rises into the evening air. Stone benches beneath a towering pine offer a shady place to rest, while the foothills of the Monadhliath mountains provide a spellbinding backdrop.
Upstairs, the bedroom offers a dreamy sanctuary beneath sloping ceilings. Overhead Velux windows frame star-filled skies, giving you the rare treat of stargazing from the comfort of your bed. A simple bedside switch lowers the blinds when sleep calls. The bathroom continues the theme of quiet elegance, with golden-green tiles, bronze fittings and a Victorian-style cistern adding a nod to the cottage’s heritage.
Staying at Garradh Cottage also gives you access to the endless adventures of the Alvie Estate. Pony trekking, archery, zip lining, quad biking, gorge walking, photography sessions, bushcraft and fishing all sit on your doorstep. Aviemore is just 15 minutes away, while the nearby village of Kincraig offers a lovely cafe and a warm, welcoming pub. It’s a Highland escape that blends style, serenity and unforgettable experiences in one very special place.
