Overlooking the River Spey, in the Cairngorms National Park (Britain's largest), Newtonmore has several shops and pubs, as well as the Newtonmore Craft Centre and two excellent, award-winning museums. The village may seem familiar as you wander around, as it was the setting for the popular TV series “Monarch of the Glen”. Newtonmore's 'Wildcat Trail' is a 7-mile popular circular walk around the edge of the village, taking in the River Spey with woodland, moorland and wonderful views across the valley to the Cairngorms, and behind the village to the Monadhliath mountains - a fitting introduction to the delights of the National Park. The area offers fine golf, fishing, pony trekking, walking, bird-watching, cycling, mountain-biking, climbing and skiing, making it an ideal base from which to discover all that this scenic area of Scotland has to offer.

Something a bit special! This ‘quirky’ detached wooden property, newly built in 2004 in the form of a signal box, is adjacent to the station in the Badenoch & Strathspey village of Newtonmore. To make the most of the panoramic views towards the River Spey and Grampian Mountains, the accommodation is “upside down”, with a spacious, open plan living area on the first floor, while on the ground floor are a double bedroom and bathroom with sauna. Decorated to a high standard, this charming property is in an ideal location to explore the village (featured in “Monarch of the Glen”), and take advantage of the walking in the area. The cottage is 150 metres from a link into the Wildcat Trail - a 7km orbital walk and path network. The other attractions of the Cairngorms National Park are also within easy reach – an excellent base at any time of year!

Previous visitors' comments about Signal Box:
This is a delightful property - very well equipped and wonderfully warm. A gorgeous chocolate cake, flowers and fresh milk on arrival and the scenery from the windows of the Cairngorm Mountains is breath taking. The Signal Box was a very relaxing place.
Mrs Taylor, Malton, December 2009
A warm and comfortable place to rest after a day on the hills. Good views from the windows of the ever changing colours of the Gairngorms and surrounding hills. A nice welcome package and a friendly greeting from the owner on our arrival. The wood burning stove was excellent on the few cold nights that we did have.
Mr Schofield, Manchester, November 2009
Great to be back, this is a very homely property. I'd love to come back next year.
Mr Morris, Edinburgh, November 2009
The views from the Signal Box were superb - we spent hours just staring out of the window at the constantly changing panorama. Very relaxing! Excellent location with lots of beautiful places to visit nearby.
