Embark on a picturesque drive the the enchanting forest, and as you meander along the winding road, you’ll find yourself arriving at the serene and peaceful setting of Cairn Valley – a luxury self-catering Cairngorms Cottage. Nestled amidst nature’s embrace, this hidden gem offers a tranquil escape from the demands of everyday life.

LIVING

Upon entering you’ll experience the textures of heathery tweeds and the colours of a stormy Highland sky. The perfect backdrop for luxurious furnishings and contemporary comforts. There is an open plan lounge and dining area that features a wood burning fireplace that you can enjoy from the incredibly comfortable wing back chair or leather sofa. We’ve packed the place with books – as well as board games, bird watching guides and binoculars if you are looking for a break from technology. Sit back with a dram and a good book in front of a roaring fire. Or use the TV with freesat and apps to access all your favourite shows. The dining area has a perfectly positioned table and window seat to take in the views of the woodland and ancient ruins on the hill behind the cottage. The kitchen has everything you could ask for if you plan to rustle up some meals including cooking essentials such as oils and herbs. You’ll find an electric hob, cooker, fridge, freezer, Lavazza coffee maker and dishwasher.

To the back of the cottage is a large bedroom with a supremely comfortable superking bed for a luxurious night’s sleep. We’ve added the finest Hungarian goose down pillows and quilts, wrapped in 800 thread count luxury bed linens for a bit of indulgence. Your en-suite shower room has an invigorating rain shower and includes UK finest luxury brand of toiletries, Noble Isle. Head upstairs to enjoy the mezzanine bathroom with its freestanding tub. While soaking you can take in the most stunning views of changeable skies and birch wood from the Velux window above.

OUTSIDE

The outdoor spaces and beyond invoke a sense of awe and are what make Cairn Valley a true Highland retreat. Accessed only by a private estate road, you’ll have taken in the splendor of the Ancient Caledonian Pine Forest on arrival. On one side of Cairn Valley lies a large fully enclosed garden that pets get to enjoy. At the back of this luxury cottage is an open sitting area with a low table, sofa and chairs for morning coffee, drinks or alfresco dining. There is a small charcoal BBQ to enjoy as well. A perfect place for wrapping up warm and star gazing into the vast open clear skies the north of Scotland is known for. Additionally there is a light-filled garden room that makes a perfect inside/outside retreat whatever the weather. A room that offers endless experiences such as reading, yoga, games, writing or can be set up with a massage table for relaxation treatments from our highly recommended mobile therapists. The gardens beyond Cairn Valley are left and beyond that is Loch an Eilein, mountains and glens that dreams are made of.

CHILDREN

Cots and highchairs can be provided during your stay, just let us know in advance and we’ll have them in the property for your arrival. Please note, since most little ones prefer their own comforts, we don’t provide cot sheets.
