The Cairngorm Cottage

Set in the north of the Cairngorms National Park, this newly refurbished cottage is perfect for trips with friends or family to explore the Scottish Highlands. The cottage features large living spaces, a log burner to keep you cosy and a hot tub in the garden to help you recover from a long walk or even a day’s skiing.

The interior of the cottage feels warm and welcoming with big comfy sofas gathered around the log burner in the living room and luxurious super-king size beds in the bedrooms. The contemporary kitchen is fully-equipped and has a large island which you can use as a breakfast bar or as extra space to help prepare dinner. Move through to the dining room where you’ll find an antler chandelier and a steel stag’s head creating a bit of a Highlands theme. After dinner, snuggle up in the living room where you’ll find comfy sofas to sink into and a log burner to keep you toasty on chilly evenings. To one side of the room, huge windows let in plenty of natural light during the day and offer stunning views across the fields and out to Muckrach Castle.

There are three bedrooms, all with luxurious Hypnos mattresses, oversized headboards, smart TVs and Wilton carpets. The main bedroom has a super-king size bed with an ensuite bathroom where you’ll find fluffy towels and toiletries. The other two bedrooms, one of which has a super-king size bed and the other can be a twin or another double, share a family bathroom.

Outside, there’s a private garden with outdoor dining furniture and a BBQ, perfect for slow afternoons in the sunshine. You’ll find the hot tub sunk into the deck where you can relax with a glass of something and soak up the views. Enjoy a dip in the evening and you’ll find the stars put on quite a show on clear nights.

The Cairngorm Cottage is located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands with the charming town of Grantown-on-Spey on the doorstep. Go for a stroll through the town, stopping off at some of the local cafes and traditional shops and learning more about the area at the museum. Head out into the Cairngorms National Park which is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers at any time of year.

Enjoy hiking, wildlife spotting, bike riding, watersports and even skiing in the winter. If you fancy a more leisurely way to soak up the scenery, hop on one of the Strathspey Steam Railway’s vintage trains which take you through some beautiful landscapes. The cottage is also located near the Speyside Whisky Trail, featuring world-renowned distilleries like Macallan and Glenfiddich where you can go for a tour to learn about the whisky-making process.
