About this property

Beautiful 2 bed cottage, peaceful location in Scottish Highlands; pet friendly

Lovely comfortable two bedroom cottage, situated in the Osprey village of Boat of Garten in the heart of Cairngorm National Park. As soon as you walk through the door you'll feel at home. The cottage has recently been extensively refurbished and sits in a lovely tranquil setting. Open plan living areas with fully equipped new kitchen and breakfast bar adjacent to dining area and leading onto comfortable living area and bright spacious conservatory. Separate snug area with wall mounted Smart TV leads off hallway. Bathroom recently upgraded comprising large wet room with spacious walk-in shower area and is wholly suitable for less able guests. Bedrooms are bright, spacious and double sized, with one having option as twin. Rear sun-room opens onto level decking and leads to large enclosed garden area with rear gate access to surrounding pine forest with numerous walking and cycling trails amongst the natural wildlife. Croftwood is all on one level and is facilitated for this who are less able with ramp access to the front, level access to rear decking, hardwood flooring in living areas and grab rails situated in porch, main bedroom and bathroom.
Boat of Garten is a perfect location for holidays whether as a couple or with family and friends and has excellent local facilities all within walking distance of Croftwood. Best known for its excellent golf course "The Boat", Strathspey Steam Railway and the Ospreys at nearby Loch Garten, it offers a great base from which to explore the Cairngorms National Park and the many attractions of Spey Valley and beyond. Cyclists and walkers can set off from the cottage and follow numerous tracks to Loch Garten, Nethybridge, Aviemore and beyond. We have some fabulous local businesses in our village to cater for shopping and eating out including well stocked Village Shop, Gashouse Cafe and bike shop, 1896 Gallery, JB's restaurant at Boat Golf Course, Anderson's Restaurant and Boat Country Inn & Bistro. Cairngorm Mountain Range and Loch Morlich are 20 mins away by car and the surrounding area has a wide variety of attractions such as Malt Whisky Trail, galleries, golf courses, outdoor and water activity centres and you can reach the beautiful Moray Firth beaches like Nairn and Findhorn within an hour.

Perfect home from home
Such a cozy cottage, spotlessly clean, comfy beds and has a really homely feel, it felt like every little detail had been thought of. The kitchen also had all the equipment we needed to enjoy some home cooked food. Great location for exploring the National Park and within walking distance of places to eat out Great communication from the host too.
