To match the Park’s own uniqueness and diversity, the range of different, quirky and special accommodation in the Cairngorms is vast…
It’s those unusual places that we stay on holiday that tend to make their mark on our memories and the Cairngorms can provide these experiences in bucket loads. Whether you want to stay in a wigwam, a restored rail wagon or 5 star hotel, or all manner of other delightful dwellings, you can. But be sure to book in advance, these unique accommodations often book up early.
Staying somewhere unusual can add a touch of excitement and adventure to your stay and there are plenty of out-of-the-ordinary accommodation options in the Cairngorms.
For most of us, sleeping in the midst of nature, like a forest setting, is a novelty, even more so if you are doing this in a log cabin, or a camping pod or wigwam! All these possibilities are here for your choosing in the Cairngorms.
You can also add a unique flavour to your stay...
Pick a property with a hot tub, sauna, games room, log fire or pizza oven... just to name a few of the quirkier features of some of the accommodation here!
