About this property
Luxurious House With Large Enclosed Woodland Garden In Cairngorm National Park
Glencraig is a contemporary house nestled in an acre of woodland garden, close to the River Nethy. It has 5 bedrooms, large kitchen/dining room, lounge, games room, 2 bathrooms, further WC and utility room/drying room. Both the kitchen and lounge have doors leading to the patio - perfect for BBQ s, watching the red squirrels and birds or sitting out in the evening warmed by the brazier. The games room, with its table tennis table, Sky TV, DVD player and plentiful games, toys and books for all ages will keep everyone occupied whatever the weather. The property sleeps 10 comfortably and there are a further 2 pull-out beds in the games room, if required, as well as a travel cot and high chair. Children will love exploring around the numerous trees, playing ball games on the grass, finding the home-made den and hiding in the little wooden play house. There are extensive walks and off-road cycle tracks right from the door and the village shop and butcher are only a 10min walk along the river

About the host
Hosted by Michael Henderson
We are a family of four with 2 boys. We love mountain biking, skiing, hillwalking, canoeing - any outdoor activities really! We live in Edinburgh but try to escape up to the house ourselves as often as we can.
Why they chose this property
Lovely woodland and riverside walks and off-road biking from the door. Beautiful scenery, totally peaceful and amazing starry skies. Heaps to do for all ages in the area. Great wee village shop and butcher.
What makes this property unique
We love the house because it's roomy but cosy at the same time. It's in such a peaceful location and the garden is really big and enclosed, with dozens of trees - perfect for kids exploring and building dens and watching the red squirrels. It's great to have the large play room with the TV and table tennis table separate from the quiet lounge! It's also our home from home so it has lots of extra touches, equipment, books, games etc
