A vibrant hub for outdoor adventure, this homely cottage is nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, perfectly positioned for a family or friends to explore the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. You’ll find this escape in Aviemore, a beloved destination that holidaymakers return to year after year. Best known for its excellent snow sports offerings, Cairngorm Mountain (10 miles) provides skiing and snowboarding in abundance, but you can also explore the mountain on foot or by mountain bike. Head to Glenmore (7 miles) to dive into activities in Glenmore Forest Park, admire the pine, heather, and blueberries along the walking trails at Allt Mor (7.5 miles), or enjoy the peaceful scenery at Loch Morlich Beach (6.5 miles). Keen sailors will love venturing out onto the water from the Loch Morlich Sailing Club (5.5 miles). This original railway cottage has been lovingly maintained with traditional features, yet modernised to offer everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Upon arrival, you'll notice a spacious and versatile utility room with a washing machine, a drying rack, and plenty of room to hang coats, and store boots and outdoor adventure equipment. Once you’ve shed your outdoor gear, move into the open-plan living area for a night of relaxation. The lounge, kitchen and dining space blend seamlessly into one, complete with ample comfortable seating and a wood burner to create a warm and welcoming ambience. Prepare meals with some locally sourced goodies before settling in for a cosy night in front of the Smart TV. You’ll also find an additional TV in all three bedrooms, perfect for those seeking a bit of peace and quiet. The first of the three bedrooms is downstairs: a snug single room with an additional trundle bed for use when needed. The family bathroom, featuring a roll-top bath and separate shower, is also on this floor. Upstairs, two further bedrooms, an inviting king-size and a charming double, sit beneath slopped ceilings – a nod to the property’s age and heritage.
Outside, a private patio space invites you to sit in the sunshine and breathe in that invigorating Highlands air. The patio is enclosed, with an outdoor seating area and a charcoal BBQ, perfect for enjoying alfresco evenings on warm, summery nights.
