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.

The cottage is perfectly placed to explore the Cairngorms, Lochaber, Glenlivit, all over the Highlands and even Moray and Aberdeenshire. We will definitely look to book Creag-na-Sanais again in the not too distant future

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.
