Escape to Cairngorm cottages to enjoy the invigorating mountain air, breath-taking scenery and the warmest Highland hospitality. Choose a self-catering Cairngorms property and experience natural beauty first-hand.
Why the Cairngorms?
Mother Nature has blessed the Cairngorms National Park with a plethora of treasures - arctic mountain peaks, rare pine forests, heather-clad moorlands, fast-flowing rivers, and deep, inky blue lochs - home to many endangered species. Other highlights include the Cairngorm Mountain Railway and the magnificent Balmoral Estate in Royal Deeside. Don't forget to visit the local town of Ballater, rather aptly adorned with 'By Royal Appointment' signs and proud of its immaculately restored Old Royal Railway Station.

Places to visit in the Cairngorms
Aviemore is a fantastic place for all kinds of activities including winter sports, while the village of Braemar is popular for high altitude walks and cycle routes. For a taste of tradition, watch the ancient Gaelic game of 'shinty' at Kingussie, or sample the local tipple along the Strathspey whisky trail. Children will delight in a trip to the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre, while the Highland Wildlife Park offers animal encounter sessions with bison, wolves, and Highland cattle to mention just a few. Or, try the Landmark Forest Theme Park, a fun-filled adventure park with waterslides, wildlife trail, climbing wall, wild forest maze and more. After boxing off the attractions of the Cairngorms, be sure to visit Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Elgin and Fife.
