The Cottages at Aultmore Estate
Aultmore Estate is situated within the spectacular Cairngorms National Park, surrounded by natural forest and breathtaking views of the Cairngorm Mountains. It is ideally located for all the recreational opportunities of the area, including hiking, biking, fishing, water sports, skiing as well as space within its 25 acres of woodlands and gardens for healthy contemplation. We have three listed Edwardian cottages on the Estate that are available to rent, sleeping up to 4 or 6 guests. The River Spey is only one mile away and is one of Scotland's prime fishing rivers. Cairngorm ski area is fifteen miles away and there are several golf courses in the area. The area is famed for its bird life with ospreys nesting close-by and the rare capercaillie resident in the woods adjacent to the Estate. Shops and restaurants abound in Aviemore as well as Inverness, though one might want to stop in a pub or two in Nethy Bridge or Grantown for a touch of local flavour.
