Hidden in the Cairngorms, this former Highland shooting lodge has been reimagined as a sprawling countryside escape. Expect grand proportions and old-world character – think carved wood, crackling fireplaces and rooms made for long, laughter-filled dinners. Outside, the estate stretches into wild, pine-fringed scenery, complete with a private nine-hole golf course, tennis court and easy access to the River Spey for keen anglers. There’s a hot tub waiting for post-hike soaks, while inside, a well-equipped kitchen and living areas balance a cosy traditional feel with modern comfort. When full you’ll be spread between the main house and the self-contained bothy – plus there’s even a shepherd’s hut tucked away in the grounds if you fancy bedding down a little closer to the Highland wilderness for the night.
