  • Spacious interior with several sitting areas

Property code: CA211

The property is in a secluded spot, just a few miles from the main road, but surrounded by forest. It's half a mile to the River Findhorn for riverside strolls, eagle-spotting or a little fishing – by prior arrangement, and only a mile to the village which has a well-stocked shop, where you can hire E-Bikes. The house backs onto managed forest where deer roam freely and there are plenty of trails to explore. Golf lovers will be delighted to find several courses nearby, the closest being Carrbridge, 9 miles away, with plenty of other options both in the Cairngorms and in Inverness. With shopping in Inverness, 17 miles away, and more strenuous hikes in Aviemore, 15 miles, there is something for everyone within easy reach.

 

The bungalow is deceptively roomy inside and has a pleasant open feel, with many windows letting in lots of light. Sit back in the comfortable living room in front of the open fire and enjoy watching the wildlife coming and going in the mature gardens. Previous guests have been lucky enough to see deer, red squirrels, rabbits, weasels and a whole host of birds. The kitchen boasts an Aga that keeps the house toasty, plus a dishwasher and microwave and there's a utility room to leave muddy boots in, with a washing machine and dryer. The double bedroom has an en-suite and both twin rooms have a wash basin, as well as the main bathroom with a shower over the bath.

 

Keen fishers can store their catch in the outside chest freezer, and there's a BBQ and garden furniture ready for freshly cooked salmon alfresco.

Beautiful cottage in stunning location, our dogs loved the massive garden, it was actually nice to have a cottage that claims enclosed that was truly enclosed.

The house and gardens were lovely. The location was secluded with a lot of good walks for dogs nearby. The house was well equipped and had everything we wanted.

We had a fabulous stay at Learag. Everything you could possibly want was provided, the house and garden are beautiful, a real home from home only better! We even got to grips with the Aga which wasnt as daunting as I first thought. We hope to be back soon.

A home from home - everything you need with a fantastic dog-friendly garden (but treat for ticks before you go). Very comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. Helpful owner and cleaning staff. Saw osprey fly low over garden and red squirrel.

Learag is a very, very comfortable and spacious bungalow. The garden is very large and lovely. We regularly saw red squirrels in the garden and deer from the garden. The cottage is very well equipped. The beds are all comfortable. You will have to learn to use an Aga to cook with but therere plenty of books. You are unlikely to see anyone passing bRead moreut there is some background hum from the A9, 500 m away. Hide

We had a truly amazing time at Learag. The enclosed garden is a wonderful place for dogs and children giving them so much freedom to explore. And the abundance of wildlife all around was super. We cant wait to come back.

Had a comfortable stay at Learag, a home full of 70s charm. Could reminisce, relax and enjoy the wonderful trees surrounding the garden and driveway. Short walk into Tomatin and the lovely cafe. Will surely return again.

Excellent property, very well equipped and in a lovely peaceful location. We saw some great wild life including a deer in the garden. The property is ideally located to use as a base to travel from, we travelled to Nairn which has a wonderful dog friendly beach, culloden battlefield, Fort Augustus and Avimore and the beach at Loch Morlich. The gardRead moreen at the property is huge and dog secure, it takes ages to do a poo patrol . It does get very warm in the kitchen due to the Aga. Will be back! Hide
