“comfortable and clean”

lovely, warm and clean accommodation. one spacious double with en suite and a small twin with family bathroom. lounge area was a little cramped when dining table was extended to seat all 4 of us, but this didn't detract from a comfortable stay. The village of Newtonmore is lovely and quiet, but there are plenty of activities nearby, from the riding stables, Highland Wildlife Park and working sheepdogs to adventure activities at Rothiemurchas, skiing or walking up the Cairngorm and water sports ...

“The Coach House is situated in a ...”

The Coach House is situated in a wide valley surrounded by mountains. It is 30mins from Aviemore, about an hour from Inverness, 40mins from Abernethy Forest and Loch Garten and there are plenty of trails to walk nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed the "Wildcat Trail" because of the varied landscape that it took us through from river bank to gorge to hill walking, through forest, over moorland and meadow! There was even the odd red squirrel to keep us company along with numerous sheep and a couple of horses, we were also warned of pigs but didn't see any. The apartment was EXTREMELY well-equipped, nicely laid out and so cosy! Our beds were freshly made and there was a very welcome tea tray laid out, perfect after a 10hr journey! Had I known we would be so well looked after I would have left more stuff at home! I have a bag of bits that always comes with us containing scissors, a sharp knife, peeler, cling film, foil, kitchen roll......etc, etc. I still used my own this time but, should I be lucky enough to return, the extra space in the car would be appreciated by my passengers. I would simply replace anything I used up or leave a spare for anything close to running out. Wonderful! Those that previously wished for Wi-Fi will be delighted to know broadband is now fully installed. In summary: Great location for Cairngorm exploring, no need to overload your car with kitchen necessities and a fabulous welcome awaits!

“Warm, well equipped for walkers, close to amenities.”

Warm and comfortable with everything you need for a week away. There is a large hall & cupboard with a lino floor, ideal for drying wet gear. The main bedroom is a good size with lots of storage space and an en-suite. There is also a second bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with all the sort of items that are often not provided, but always needed such as washing up liquid, cloths, sponges, kitchen roll, towels, tea towels, cling film, bin bags, hand soap, salt, pepper etc.. This made our stay really feel like a home from home. The bed and lounge were warm and comfortable. Although the building is just off the main road it is exceptionally quiet and has great views all around. It is close enough to walk into Newtonmore for all the necessary facilities, including a well stocked Co-op.

“Excellent place to stay”

We had a wonderful week in The Coach House. It was clean and had everything we needed as well as being comfortable and we felt very at home. We would definitely stay there again. We liked the kitchen being open to the living room so we could chat while we cooked our meals.

“Thouroughly enjoyable,”

As we traveled with 3 adults it was very good to have an ensuite bathroom plus the main bathroom. The cottage was well situated for exploring further north to aviemore and south to Pitlochry. Alocal hotel was nearby to have great meals at night

“A relaxing break!”

We stayed here for one week and really enjoyed the relaxing time, it was well situated for walking into Newtonmore, for Church, shops etc.and for getting over to aviemore for walking around Loch Morlich,and into the Cairngorms We all liked the cleanliness and obviously well cared for accommodation, only hiccup was the TV which didnt have a dvd,and had high pitched noise which was quite frustrating.We would be happy to return again though

“The Coach House, Newtonmore”

The property is excellent for a highlands holiday experience. The directions & key allocation were very good. the property was well equipt, clean & comforable. Newtonmore is a lovely village with a nice pub in easy walking distance with good food. The sorrounding area is very pictruesque with a geat museume just on the other side of the village. Locheness is about 40 miles away with loads to see & do. The small town of Fort agusta is well worth a visit the canal & loches are lovely.
