Newtonmore 5.5 miles. Settled in Cairngorms National Park on the outskirts of Newtonmore, is this lovely two-bedroom cottage, Elm. Enjoying a woodburning stove for snug nights in, an enclosed garden for alfresco dining and a rural setting for a countryside ramble, Elm is idyllic for a family of four. The open-plan living space is a great space for socialising, with a sitting area furnished with a TV and a dining area for four. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and has all the amenities you need to cook up a storm. Soak up the sun on the garden patio as your canine companion stretches out before you; afterwards indulge in a moment of relaxation in the first-floor bathroom with a bubble-bath. When sleep calls, there are two bedrooms to choose from, a double and a twin, both with Velux windows to admire the starry sky. In the morning, make use of the on-site games room for some family fun, test your swing at golf, try-out the gym or unwind in the sauna. For a blissful escape to the Scottish Highlands, consider Elm.
