About this property
SECLUDED COTTAGE IN THE VERY HEART OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND
The Cottage is located in the highlands of Scotland, and the largest National Park in Britain. It is set among the majestic pine woods of Drumguish, with mountain views and teeming with wildlife. It is close to the town of Kingussie with its shops and golf course, and in easy reach of Aviemore with its ski slopes on Cairngorm mountain. The area is a walkers' paradise with lowland and upland trails starting direct from the cottage. Cyclists and mountain bikers also have immediate access to the tracks in Insh Forest, Glen Feshie and beyond.
The Cottage has been converted from an old crofters cottage and now has all amenities including central heating, double glazed windows and two wood burning stoves with all the wood you need included.

About the host
Hosted by Bridget Clyde
We have both lived in this area most of our lives. we brought up our children here and now our grandchildren are enjoying the wonderful Cairngorms. We love to travel and because of this we lare so happy to welcome travellers from all over the word. Our last trip was to the Arctic!
Why they chose this property
We love to walk amongst the tall pine trees, in summer with the purple heather at our feet and in winter with deep snow and our cockerpoo bounding along in front. It feels remote yet only 3 miles from the small highland town of Kingussie with its main line railway and road. We can hike the trails or cycle straight from the door and every day we realise again how lucky we are to live in this part of the world.
What makes this property unique
Built many years ago (I think the exact record is lost) this small crofters cottage has been transformed. With the addition of a bedroom and bathroom wing and a large sunroom overlooking the garden the cottage now has enough space for all generations. The large garden and the ability to hike, cycle or mountain bike straight from the door is very special to us.
