This beautiful and idyllic cottage is nestled within a traditional Highland Estate whose values are committed to investing in positive conservation and environmental projects. Surrounded by nothing but the natural beauty of the Highland wilderness, this cottage is a true hidden gem and once found, will never be forgotten.

Views from this property are outstanding, stretching as far as the eye can see to the Cairngorm Mountains and beyond. Secluded and completely private this charming cottage has been designed to mix the delicate touches of French country chic with the bold and confident features of highland character. It is both stylish and elegant inside and out and the care and attention to detail in the furnishings and fittings is inspiring.

There is solid wood flooring throughout, gently softened by colourful rugs giving it a lovely cottage-style feel. The spacious sitting room has a woodburner and is full of warmth and character. The impressive kitchen/dining room is light and chic with a country-style bench table and woodburner, making it an impressive space for socialising and entertaining guests. Also on the ground floor is one of the twin bedrooms and the charming family bathroom with roll-top bath.

Perfect to sit under with friends and a bottle of wine, catching up on the day’s events.
