KINGUSSIE

Aviemore 15 miles.

Situated in the glorious Cairngorms National Park, Kingussie attracts visitors all year round. The town has a fine selection of hotels and restaurants, as well as being home to one of Scotland's finest folk museums with its collection of buildings and artefacts combining to give a fascinating insight into Highland life. During the summer months demonstrations of traditional crafts take place most days in the 'streets' of the village-like grounds. Just 15 miles south of Aviemore it is also a popular winter destination for skiers along with the Lecht, with skiing and snowboarding for all abilities. Visit Dalwhinnie, where you can tour Scotland's highest distillery and have the mysteries of whisky making explained (and purchase a bottle!) or go to the Highland Wildlife Park, and explore the habitat walks and be amazed at the wolf territory and a diverse collection of Highland wildlife.

The cottage was in a nice location, near the centre of town, but also gave a feeling of being in the country.

The cottage was in a lovely location which was great for walks. Very peaceful with a pretty outlook. The cottage was very cosy and warm. We particularly enjoyed cooking and eating in the large kitchen, which has large windows overlooking the garden.

Cottage is very good (this was our second visit) and the position of Kingussie is very central, so it is possible to see a lot of interesting countryside and places.

Fab area to explore, not enough time to do it all.
Mr Cotterell, Wokingham, Berkshire
Aug 2006
The pictures in the brochure do not do the cottage justice. The owners were extremely pleasant when we met them. There was more than enough information left at the cottage about trips within the area. The location was ideally suited for what we required. Very quiet just what you need for a relaxing evening after walking/biking all day.
