Reviews
Not to be put off by this little hidden cottage- down a lane at the back of shop. Inside was beautiful. Clean, beautifully decorated with good amenities. Amazing base for walking, activities and finding peace. Perfect to take the dog and explore this beautiful area. The utility room was a gift. Muddy boots and wet shoes stored here. Dry and warm the next morning and no dirt through the house.
We have recently returned home from our weeks stay at The Cairn, located in the Cairngorms National Park. Upon arriving, the property was extremely clean and modern inside making our weeks stay extremely comfortable. The Cairn is a fantastic base, located in the Boat of Garten allowing you to explore areas such as Aviemore, Loch Ness and Inverness. We even managed a sunny day at the beach of Roseisle, it’s definitely worth the drive! The property was fantastic to stay in from start to finish and perfect for exploring the Highlands! We can highly recommend and The Cairn gets 5* from us. We cannot wait to return again soon! A big thanks to Elaine and Roy for all of their help during our stay!
