This homely bungalow with a pretty garden brimming with wildlife is perfect for nature lovers, or those looking for a restful holiday away from the pressures of everyday life.
The property is in a secluded spot, just a few miles from the main road, but surrounded by forest. It's half a mile to the River Findhorn for riverside strolls, eagle-spotting or a little fishing – by prior arrangement, and only a mile to the village which has a well-stocked shop. The house backs onto managed forest where deer roam freely and there are plenty of trails to explore. Golf lovers will be delighted to find several courses nearby, the closest being Carrbridge, 9 miles away, with plenty of other options both in the Cairngorms and in Inverness. With shopping in Inverness, 17 miles away, and more strenuous hikes in Aviemore, 15 miles, there is something for everyone within easy reach.
The bungalow is deceptively roomy inside and has a pleasant open feel, with many windows letting in lots of light. Sit back in the comfortable living room in front of the open fire and enjoy watching the wildlife coming and going in the mature gardens. Previous guests have been lucky enough to see deer, red squirrels, rabbits, weasels and a whole host of birds. The kitchen boasts an Aga that keeps the house toasty, plus a dishwasher and microwave and there's a utility room to leave muddy boots in, with a washing machine and dryer. The double bedroom has an en-suite and both twin rooms have a wash basin, as well as the main bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Keen fishers can store their catch in the outside chest freezer, and there's a BBQ and garden furniture ready for freshly cooked salmon alfresco.
Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week.
