About this property

SECLUDED COTTAGE IN THE VERY HEART OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

The Cottage is located in the highlands of Scotland, and the largest National Park in Britain. It is set among the majestic pine woods of Drumguish, with mountain views and teeming with wildlife. It is close to the town of Kingussie with its shops and golf course, and in easy reach of Aviemore with its ski slopes on Cairngorm mountain. The area is a walkers' paradise with lowland and upland trails starting direct from the cottage. Cyclists and mountain bikers also have immediate access to the tracks in Insh Forest, Glen Feshie and beyond.
The Cottage has been converted from an old crofters cottage and now has all amenities including central heating, double glazed windows and two wood burning stoves with all the wood you need included.

Had a lovely stay at Drumguish Cottage. The house was warm, comfortable and really well equipped. We especially enjoyed the conservatory with amazing views and lots of birds to watch at the feeders. Bridget was super welcoming and helpful - would definitely recommend a visit.

This was our first stay at the cottage with guests from California so we wanted it to be special. We weren't let down. We were a total of 5 adults. The accommodation was perfect for all of us. The kitchen was great, the summer room fantastic for just chilling out and having great conversation. Loads or room, great bedrooms, beds and showers. The wildlife was abundant, we even saw a Deer on the last evening in the garden. The location is perfect with walks and cycling direct from the cottage. Kingussie and Kincraig are just short drives away for all your regular provisions and some great coffee shops. The hosts are fantastic and were always available for great advice. The Pizza evening is a must.

Great location and wildlife

We all really enjoyed our stay. Up early each morning to see the garden wildlife, fox, hares, squirrels, pheasants, woodpecker and lots of finches.Great cottage with all that you need, only downside was the third bedroom which is better suited for children than adults, mezzanine area.Fraser and Bridget lovely and very welcoming.We certainly will visit again to explore this beautiful area.

Thanks for your lovely review Lesley. Wow you saw a fox? I haven’t seen one for ages. Maybe that’s what broke our squirrel box the other day, or may be badger! I thought I had mentioned on the site that the mezzanine was smaller and had limited headspace at the sides but I will check and make sure it’s clear. It was lovely to meet you all and I hope you enjoyed Loch Ness!

Spring Break

Just as it looked on the photographs. A lovely big garden with play area for our granddaughters. Spacious bedrooms with a twin room upstairs which the girls found exciting. Three separate seating areas, one of which was the sunroom with great views south and lots of seating and woolly blankets. Games and books for children and adults. There was nothing lacking and everything was done thoughtfully and to a high standard. The hosts lived in their own house about thirty yards away which we found reassuring given the fact we were quite naturally unfamiliar with some things. They were welcoming and friendly. We had to ask for help with one minor process and the lady came over immediately and showed us what to do. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a very good supply of nespresso coffee which pleased our son. We were very happy with our stay - but it wasn't long enough!

Kurztrip in die Highlands

Sehr abgeschieden gelegen, ideal um die Hektik zurückzulassen. Gemütlich eingerichtet mit 2 Feuerstellen, alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden. Absolut zu empfehlen
