This charming, rural village is surrounded by the Monadhliath and Grampian Mountain ranges and there is plenty of scope to explore the surroundings and maybe glimpse some of the amazing wildlife that lives in the area. TV's "Monarch of the Glen" was filmed around this location and Laggan was featured in the programme. Newtonmore is only eight miles away and overlooks the River Spey in the Cairngorms National Park. There are several shops and public houses and two award winning museums. Laggan's Wolftrax Mountain Bike Centre is close by and other outdoor activities available are pony trekking, walking, climbing, and bird watching. There is plenty to do in the area and Laggan makes a great base to see this part of Scotland.

Weâve stayed there 3 times and are due to have a fourth stay later on in the year. We love seeing the array of wildlife from birds of prey, deer, hare and wild birds of all kinds, also with it being a working farm you get to see the owners cattle, sheep and horses. The property itself is traditional looking and very comfortable and it has everything you need for your stay. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and itâs so quiet. We absolutely love it here and highly recommend it for your holiday.

We really enjoyed the close proximity to the farm animals and lovely views from the dining and sitting rooms. Perfect base for walking in the different mountain ranges. Only slight negatives were the landing and downstairs bathroom lights flickered unless we pressed them very firmly. It would also be helpful to have a named sign for the cottage by the road to make it easier to spot. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
