Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This former railway lodge with a wood-burning stove and cottage garden couldn't be more charming if it tried. A home of this age does come with its compromises. The living room and twin bedroom are both on the snug side, and the only bathroom is a little dated. It's also worth noting that the Strathspey Steam Railway runs daily just fifteen metres from your door – you'll hear it before you see it. But we think this only adds to the experience of staying here. Location-wise, there's a café and food store within walking distance, and all the highland must-sees, including Aviemore, Loch Morlich, and the Cairngorms National Park, are all just a short drive away.

A working heritage railway is fifteen metres from the home, and trains pass by during the daytime.
This cottage is semi-detached, but you’ll have a private garden. The garden isn’t enclosed, so you’ll need to keep a watchful eye on dogs and little ones.

A starter basket of logs is provided for the wood stove.
This cottage has two floors with a narrow staircase, which might not suit guests with restricted mobility.
