Cottage in The Highlands

About this property

Live out an unforgettable adventure at this grandiose self catering home in Aviemore and enjoy jaw dropping views, peaceful seclusion and lashings of home comforts that are sure to delight all generations.

The most fantastic base for walkers, leisure seekers and keen sportsmen, this Aviemore home brings the best of the Cairngorms and leaves it on the doorstep. Rewarding guests with incredible views overlooking the mountains and with easy access to the start of the biker haven Burma Road, there are plenty of ways to experience the surrounds first hand. As well as adventure, this property also offers a secluded paradise where relaxed mornings and chilled out afternoons can be dragged out with picnics and playtime, relishing a free agenda and hours to spend exactly as you please. As soon as you pull up on the private driveway of this Edwardian country home, you will immediately gain a sense of the scale and quality within. Peppered with cute nooks to snuggle up with a book and open spaces perfect for socialising, there is somewhere to suit every mood. Starting your day in the well appointed kitchen, the soothing tones, abundant natural light and generous appliances (all centred around a gorgeous Aga) create the ideal setting for preparing culinary masterpieces for the whole family. Gather around the breakfast island for steaming cups of tea and treats of Scottish shortbread or head into the separate dining area through the kitchen's attractive archway to share plates piled high with local goodies. For a more formal evening meal, there is also another dining room with a table and chairs and enough space for everyone to gather around. Later on, while the adults make tracks towards the lounge to crack open a bottle of Scottish whisky or smooth red wine to accompany fireside chatter, the youngsters will adore spending time in the pool room. When tiredness eventually kicks in, you will find the bedrooms on the first floor, all ready to ensure everyone has a dreamy night's sleep. These include four double bedrooms (three of which have en suites), one twin bedroom and a single bedroom. The kind of property you will love spending time in come rain or shine, this family home has year round appeal. While winters are extra romantic curled up by the open fire after hours on the ski slopes, hazy summer days are best spent outside in the grounds, playing games of frisbee, hide and seek and quietly watching out for the shy deer, pine martens and red squirrels who sometimes pay a visit. Just keep an eye on any curious youngsters in your party who might be tempted to roam further afield, as the private gardens are unenclosed.
