NEWTONMORE

Kingussie 3 miles; Inverness 47 miles.

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.

The welcome - the property was well presented, warm, lights on, loads of info on the local area, items in fridge, biscuits. Most of all the owner left Easter eggs for my children. She also popped round the Sunday night to make sure we were ok. Was very impressed.
Mr Clydesdale, Lanark, South Lanarkshire
Apr 2007
The owner had gone to a lot of effort to make the cottage feel very welcoming. All the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The fact that the cottage had a multi stove burner made it particularly attractive. The cottage is very well located in Newtonmore, which is an excellent base for walking and exploring the Cairngorms.

The Lea Rig is the best cottage we've ever rented, purely because of the care and attention the owner had clearly given to it's presentation. We arrived to a warm cottage with table laid and lamps lit, and instantly felt welcomed.
Victoria Simmons, Keighley, West Yorkshire

We were not only very pleased to find the cottage very clean and welcoming we also found the table set and wine available, together with other items in the fridge. It was all very good. We were very pleased to stay and in many ways we felt very much at home.
Mr Owen, Warboys, Cambridgeshire

This was one of the best equipped cottages we have had in many years of renting holiday cottages. Beautiful area, plenty of literature about local facilities. Owners left milk, biscuits and flowers as a welcome.
