Railway Cottage - Love Cairngorms

A warm and inviting, two bedroom cottage just a short drive to Kingussie and Aviemore.

Recently restored to a high standard, the cottage is a great little holiday retreat any time of year; toasty warm in the winter with a fantastic garden, with alfresco dining and fire pit to enjoy in the summer.

A great holiday destination - perfect for lazing away the afternoon with a new book, or unwinding after an outdoor adventure (of which there are many, in every direction).

Living/dining room Wood panelled with a huge wood burning stove, the living room is delightfully warm in the cold winter months, a real treat and great for relaxation after a day in the hills.

We have provided you with an array of books about the local area covering topics about the Cairngorms and outdoor pursuits such as mountain climbing and bird watching along with an eclectic collection of films and board games.

The living room boasts a 40 inch, wi-fi enabled smart TV, with Netflix, Spotify, catch up TV, DVD, and BOSE stereo, with bluetooth, radio and line in, to connect music players / laptops.

For dining, set back from the fire, there is a solid oak, Edwardian table for 4. Kitchen The handmade kitchen has a rural farmhouse feel to it, combining the industrial sense of the railway with the serene surroundings of the Insh Marshes; a polished concrete worktop and vintage tiles, inlaid with stainless steel fittings, between beach cabinets and shelving.

With underfloor heating and fantastic views across the RSPB nature reserve it is a delightful space in which to prepare your meals.

Everything youd expect in a modern kitchen is nicely tucked in here; dishwasher, fridge-freezer, separate wine-cooler, 4 way ceramic hob, double oven / grill, micro-wave.

Bedrooms The bedrooms are bright yet cosy with views out to the garden and beyond.

Each has a luxurious king size double bed with high quality, cotton linen, a dressing table/writing desk (with hairdryer), chest of drawers and clothes rail.

Sheep skin and Persian rugs underfoot, colourful prints on the walls, radiator with thermostat and black out blinds, make for the snuggest possible nights stay.

Woollen blankets and dressing gowns are provided for extra comfort.

Bathroom The bathroom is decadent, with heated, Mediterranean style floor tiles and bespoke Victorian mahogany pedestal, vintage tiles and quality chrome fittings.

The bath is a deep, relaxing, roll-top style with claw feet.

With plenty of quality bath linen, heated towel rail and underfloor heating the bathroom adds a little more luxury to your stay.

Fine Scottish toiletries provided for your indulgence.

Garden Outside, the cottage is surrounded by incredible views.

The garden itself is bordered sporadically by a variety of trees - birch, beach, oak, elm - providing some privacy but letting plenty of the view in.

It is a lovely spacious place to have fun in and enjoy the views of the RSPB nature reserve.

A large, decking area has dining space for 4 plus a Webber BBQ.

It looks south, so enjoys the sun most of the day and overlooks a bespoke, stone fire-pit, with benched seating made from old railway sleepers.

A large lawn completeS the back garden on the south and west sides of the house.

The front garden looks across the railway and Insh Marshes and enjoys some of the best views of the Cairngorms there are.

Storeroom The outhouse provides storage for your boots, bikes, skis and the rest of your outdoor adventure kit, as well as, laundry facilities.

We hope youll visit Railway Cottage, a home from home, in truly breathtaking surroundings..
