“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!
