Location Details

Kincraig is an attractive Highland village midway between Kingussie and Aviemore, which is the hub of the skiing industry in Britain. Close to Loch Insh and Glenfeshie, in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park and with the Cairngorm Mountains as a backdrop, Kincraig offers an unrivalled choice of activities and pursuits for all ages and abilities all year round. Enjoy walking or climbing, fishing, riding, cycling or the watersports at Loch Insh where equipment hire and instruction is available. A wide variety of birds can be seen from the RSPB hide overlooking the flood plains of the Insh Marshes Reserve and at the nearby Highland Wildlife Park wolves, bison, red pandas, wildcats and arctic foxes can be seen.

We particularly enjoyed the house itself and the beautiful views surrounding the property. The hot tub was also a highlight of the trip, as well as being able to watch badgers, deer and birds outside the windows. The house itself was beautiful inside and out and we enjoyed spending time in the lounge area which overlooks the loch. The house is also ideally placed for activities in Aviemore and even closer at the Loch Insh watersport centre.

An amazing place to stay.

Rated by Mr Brown reviewed on 6th January 2016

The location of the property was perfect for our needs, getting to mountain bike trails and water sports. The hot tub in the property was also a favourite for relaxing after a long day.

Rated by Mr Mcwilliams reviewed on 15th June 2015

This is a wonderful house to holiday in. We felt at home from the minute we arrived. It was fully equipped with stunning views enjoyed from the luxurious hot tub. A superb area with so much to do. We can't wait to go back.

Rated by Mrs Weaver reviewed on 23rd February 2015

The setting of this Lodge is breath taking, as was the location with good views over the Loch. The surrounding area is very peacefully located in a wood land with an abundance of wild life, some of which i.e. grouse you see coming right up to the dinning room window every day. The hot tub is a massive bonus with views over the Loch. The log fire was lovely on some of the cold nights, there is also a very good selection of games, videos/DVD's and books to keep us entertained. Will be definitely be returning. Enjoyed by all.

Rated by Mrs Stewart reviewed on 27th October 2014

The house was situated in a nice area with local amenities close by. It had plenty of room and was very comfortable. The owner contacted me on arrival to make sure we were happy and enjoying our holiday - a nice touch.

Rated by Mrs Main reviewed on 5th October 2014

We had a fabulous time here. Wonderful views, accommodation and owners. Would love to come back. Without leaving the house, we enjoyed the cosy log fire, relaxing hot tub and bird watching was varied and exciting.

Rated by Mr Wynne reviewed on 22nd February 2014

The atmosphere of the property was unique and unlike any previous cottages I have stayed at. The views were excellent, as were the surroundings. The hot tub was a welcome addition too! Thanks for a great stay.

Rated by Miss Knight reviewed on 18th February 2014

I booked the property for my partners birthday and was hoping to just relax, and what we found on arrival was just stunning...The natural surrounding backdrops where something from picture postcards. Visiting the cairngorms and Ben Nevis was a first for us and just a simple drive away, the local food at the Bridge pub was delightful as a treat. Came back home to never think of going abroad again...now thats something we didn't expect! along with washing up for the first time whilst looking at the cairngorms...

Rated by joeandjayne2014 reviewed on 29th January 2014

Katchana was everything we were hoping for. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle with awesome views of the snow covered peaks and over a beautiful loch. The owner of the property was easily accessible via phone and was very helpful during a wind storm where we lost power. It is close to Aviemore and the Cairngorms. A scottish friend of ours who visited us whilst we were there was so impressed by the property and its location that he will be booking it for family. The photographs are accurate of the property in the advertising. We loved it and think of our stay at Katchana as the highlight of our month long UK stay.

The bungalow was large and would be lovely to take my grandchildren to. The hot tub was a real treat and very relaxing, I loved every minute in it.

Rated by Mrs Stewart reviewed on 30th September 2013

Beautiful property in a beautiful location, the local wildlife also added to the holiday. The house is very large and very well equipped, like a home from home!

Rated by Mr McCormack reviewed on 31st July 2013

The house is unusual, and in a perfect location. The diversity of wildlife in its own grounds is amazing. The views are stunning from all aspects of the property. It offers privacy, and is the perfect location for a relaxing summer holiday.

Rated by Mrs Griffith reviewed on 6th July 2013

The location, the wildlife, the views, the hot tub. We saw red squirrels, deer, woodpeckers and a badger from the front window.

Rated by Mrs Sharp reviewed on 17th June 2013

The location and size of the property were excellent. To go into the kitchen in the morning and look out of the window at deer and red squirrels was magical.

Rated by Mrs Samson reviewed on 14th April 2013

Beautiful well kept accommodation, set within amazing scenery. We did not want to leave!

Rated by Mr Beddard reviewed on 12th February 2012

The wildlife was lovely and the setting was superb. The house was very cosy and had everything you need including board games etc for when the whether turns bad. Exceptionally clean and a gorgeous open fire. Our dog loved it too and it even accommodated a large dog run if you wanted to use it.

The setting of the cottage is great, and we where able to explore easily from it.

A remarkable house in a marvelous setting. It was wonderful.

Rated by Mr Lockley reviewed on 18th September 2011

The scenery and wildlife was amazing and we were so lucky with the weather. We had badgers and pine martins feeding outside the back door every evening and saw lots of red squirrels. There were plenty of things to do and most of the activities weren't too expensive, we will definitely come back. We particularly enjoyed kayaking on the loch's.

Rated by Mrs Page reviewed on 28th August 2011

This property is in a glorious location overlooking Loch Insh with the Cairngorm Mountains behind. A particularly beautiful spot for a very relaxing holiday with walks, amazing wildlife on the property and many sporting activities and interests in abundance nearby.

If you are looking for peace, quiet and comfort, Katchana is ideal. If you have an interest in nature and sport the Cairngorms National Park is perfect.

We had a great time, it really is a superb location and an incredible property; we both want to return again soon. The house is exceptionally well equipped, very homely and truly welcoming! The house is most intriguing - almost a tangible presence, underlined by grace, charm, style and quality.
