Craggan Outdoors Glenbeg Bunkhouse & Bothy
Located in a secluded rural spot at the top of the Glenbeg Estate and a couple of miles outside Grantown-on-Spey, our Glenbeg Bunkhouse and Bothy is the perfect place for a relaxing stay in traditional Scottish surroundings. The Glenbeg Bunkhouse is a bright and airy converted farmhouse that sleeps up to 27 people over three rooms, two bunk-rooms of 11 and 12 beds each, and a cosier 4-bed room. The building acquires a cosy feeling all year round due to the double-glazing and central heating. The downstairs features a large open-plan kitchen which is well equipped for group self-catering, and a common room with a range of seating to suit the requirements of the diverse groups using the space. There is also one private bathroom and communal male and communal female bathrooms that give access to a sink, toilet and shower. After a day of exploring Scotland's vast landscapes or visiting the activity centre nearby, make use of the hanging and drying area for coats and footwear. The Glenbeg Bothy is a converted steading offering snug and cosy accommodation across a single floor. The bunk-room sleeps six people comfortably, with a guest-bed also available if necessary. A spacious wetroom, suitably equipped to assist wheelchair users, adjoins the bunkroom. This accommodation is a great option for groups that include those with a disability, as there is level access and free parking outside the front door. The well-equipped kitchen and dining area features at the opposite end of the building and includes a wood burner and central heating to warm up after your outdoor explorations. This property has a selection of books and games, and there is a flatscreen for the playing of DVDs with a small selection already available, with the deliberate choice of no TV reception.

The Lazy Duck Lookout Bunkhouse
This idilic 4/5 person bunkhouse is sheltered by ancient Caledonian pine trees. Red squirrels, deer, crested tits are your nearest neighbours along with the waterfowl. Built with Douglas Fir and elm interior, the Lookout oozes warmth and comfort inside with luxurious spaces outside. Rain water is gravity fed from the roof into two whisky barrels and then to the 100 year old brass tap at the sink. The king size high bed, wood burning stove and veranda are complemented by candle lanterns supported by some electric lighting, a gas cooking stove and oven & fridge. The elm dining table temps you to linger over your meal and maybe swap over to games as the evening moves on. The veranda has its own breakfast table. A chiminea wood burner for a log fire or BBQ stands nearby on the deck. Here in a small space is old-style charm, in keeping with some modern quirky style and dollops of profound tranquility. Ideally sited and well apart from other accommodation. Relax in our wood fired hot tub, infrared sauna. Experience massage treatments in our Wellbeing Studio, set on the edge of the forest. With its amazing views and wood burning stove, this space evokes calm; a space to unwind and let go.
