Description from owner

Description

The main thing our guests comment on is the views of the Cairngorm mountains, which can be seen from the cottage and garden. We are located above the village so these can be enjoyed in peace and quiet. In the foreground are sheep and lambs, as we are in a crofting area, together with lapwings, curlews, oyster catchers and hares. But also our guests also find the cottage well equipped, warm and comfortable. The cottage is rated 3* by Wyndhams Vacation rentals (2019).

The majority of our guests come to walk or bike, which can be done from the door. The Newtonmore wildcat trail is only 200m from the house. And there is an unlimited number of local walks and rides.

This cottage is a family cottage best suited for a couple with up to 2 children; there is a king-size bed and two singles in a large upstairs bedroom with an additional sofabed downstairs. This cottage can be linked with barn cottage as it has an interlinking door

Getting around

A car is helpful to see the most of the area but we welcome guests who arrive by bus, train or bike, meeting trains where possible. For train travel we suggest booking to Kingussie not Newtonmore as this has more frequent connections.

Interaction with guest

We live on site and will generally be around the evening you arrive to greet you. The level of interaction is up to you! Most guests prefer their own space so we try not to impose ourselves, but we are on hand to answer any queries (or if we are away ourselves we provide phone and email contact numbers). This week I have provided information on local health support and local music sessions for instance! There are 3 cottages onsite so there is also the opportunity to chat with other holiday makers.

“Great value, lovely rural location. Helpful and friendly hosts”

Reviewed 1 Jun 2013

My wife, son and I have just returned from a week away based in Loft Cottage. This is a clean, comfortable and functional base for those lovers of activity in the wild outdoors. Anne and Ian are keen outdoors people themselves and are able to recommend cycling and walking opportunities, which we took up and enjoyed. The facility is just what we needed and is perfectly situated on the fringes of the village with direct access to the hills and trails of Badenoch. The cottage was well appointed, wifi enabled too and the use of a laundry and drying room are a bonus. We were also able to store our bikes in the garage and inside the entrance to the cottage as well. We have more to see and do in the area and will definitely be back.
