Property information

Rowan Cottage nestles in one of the most idyllic locations in the Cairngorms National Park. Offering superb views over the Cairngorms & hugging the edge of a picturesque Lochan you will delight in the peace and tranquillity. It is a large traditional stone cottage & only a couple of miles north of Aviemore. The cottage sits in its own private grounds & is only one of 6 cottages which are dotted around the Lochan. The bright entrance hall leads you off to the well-appointed kitchen & the atmospheric dining area. After dinner, the cosy lounge with open fire offers a nice relaxing space. On the ground floor you will find a comfortable double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Head upstairs & you will discover another double room, a twin room & a family bedroom with en-suite (with 1 double bed & 2 singles), all with gorgeously comfortable mattresses. A family bathroom & shower room upstairs will ensure that no-one needs to queue. The luxury continues outside onto the patio where you can watch the changing colours of sunset while you sit at the outdoor dining/BBQ area. And the cherry on top is to sink into the fabulous hot tub & let your troubles drift away.

Ramble across the Cairngorm hills which were formed when the last age covered this country. With the landscapes characterised by high, rounded humps carved through spectacular and deep gorges the variety of geology in the area is truly remarkable. The National park is home to a fantastic array of rare wildlife. Just over one quarter of Britain's 400+ most rare and endangered wildlife species are protected within the park. If you are lucky (and quiet!) you might spot such species as the osprey, red kite, golden eagle, otter and pine marten, sheltering in amongst the sub-Arctic and mountain plants. The glens of Isla, Prosen, Clova and Mark are well known destinations for walkers as they are all easily accessible by car. They offer low level walks but also provide access to tougher long distance hikes into the south east section of the park. As well as the impressive uplands in the area the lochs and rivers in the region are home to some world class salmon fishing, wildlife and habitats making it yet another area not to be missed. The waters offer a variety of scenic delights including gorges, waterfalls and tranquil expanses of...
