This Aviemore cottage is ideally situated close to the vibrant town centre, which as you would expect has much to offer in terms of shopping, dining and lively pubs. The Cairngorms National Park is not only famous for its outdoor pursuits, but also for its stunning scenery and wonderful wildlife. Just a few miles south of Aviemore is Kincraig and the Loch Insh Watersports Centre, where young and old can participate in canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, archery and so much more. Whilst still in Kincraig, a visit to the Highland Wildlife Park, open all year round, is a must.

There is also sailing, riding and bird watching, with rare species to be found including Ospreys and Capercaillie. The landscape is dotted with historic castles, tempting distilleries, and is known to millions as the setting for the TV series 'Monarch of the Glen'.

A lot of facilities closed nearby from November especially for children. The situation of the house was great if a little noisy. The main shower being downstairs and a little tight wouldnât have been our preferred option, but the rest of the house made up for it. It was clean, lots of local information, and felt like a skiing/climbing/walking environment. All the essentials and more. Lovely large kitchen and utility. Wonderful owner.

The house was a great size for a family of 6 with plenty of room for all of us. It was great to arrive to a lovely clean and tidy house with helpful "extras" such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
