Property info

Situated in an unspoilt corner of a Scottish Highland Estate are the Cairngorm Bothies – a collection of unique, eco-friendly wooden cabins designed to let you escape from the pressures of everyday life. With no TV and limited connection to the outside world (there’s 4G in case you can’t switch off completely), get back to nature and embrace the peace and quiet. Each bothy provides comfortable accommodation for up to four people with one double bed and two single beds. Carefully constructed from eco-friendly and sustainable materials, each bothy fits snugly into it’s surroundings, minimising it’s impact on the forestscape. Embracing the natural surroundings, they are heated by the wood burning stove and powered by solar power whenever possible. Inside you’ll find a mini kitchen with all the home comforts including stove for cooking, fridge, kettle, all cookware and utensils and dining table. The bathroom includes a walk in electric shower, WC, sink and heated towel rail. Step outside and enjoy a BBQ on the decking……or enjoy a cosy night in by the wood burning stove with firewood provided from our own forests (logs included).
