Strathspey Lodge - Self-catering house in Highland
Strathspey Lodge, Duthil, PH23 3ND, Highland
Scotland,
Reino Unido
A little bit of Surrey hits the Highlands here, in a no-expense-spared house with lots of treats and masses of space indoors and out. Hike along the Strathspey Way – it's an hour or two to Aviemore, and then get the steam train back. Salmon fishing on the Spey will cost you £45 for a day's permit; borrow two bikes from the garage, return with muddy boots and dogs and there's a separate utility room for hosing down.
This is a family house, with a wonderful flow in the design. Children will love running around in circles from hall to living room, out the other door and back to the hall. Books are arranged into cookery, maps, guidebooks; board games and televisions are many and the wood-burning stove belts out the heat. It's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas but any family holiday will do, or a group of grown-up friends. French windows open onto a large terrace with a second dining table for summer eating facing the wonderful views.
The master bedroom has its own west-facing terrace for escaping with a sundowner, and you'll find everything from hot chocolate and marshmallows to prosecco and Cairngorm Brewery beer waiting for you.

- Strathspey Lodge is conveniently located, within 15 minutes of Aviemore, the 'outdoors capital' of the Cairngorms with a vast range of outdoor shops as well as bars and restaurants and guaranteed Highland hospitality!
- You can visit Dalwhinnie Distillery, a five star Visit Scotland attraction. Set in stunning mountain scenery in the heart of the Cairngorms, the distillery is Scotland's highest at 1164 ft.
- Nearby is the Landmark Forest Adventure Park. An adventure for the whole family, with treetop fun, a family friendly roller coaster, a tropical hot house filled with butterflies and exotic flowers, to name a few of the activities.
- Visit the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd, Britain's only free-ranging herd. Currently numbering c150, mostly ranging on the Cairngorm Mountains with the remainder on the Glenlivet Estate. There are planned daily guided visits to the Herd.
- With its stunning scenery, it's hard to think of a better backdrop for golf courses! The National Park is home to 12 courses. Strathspey Lodge is the perfect base to visit other world class courses such as Royal Dornoch and Nairn.
- Visit the nearby Rothiermurchus estate, 10,000 hectares of Ancient Caledonian Forest, Lochs, Rivers, Glens, Mountains, and wild landscapes. Amazing farm food, or the more adventurous can fish, shoot, quad bike all in stunning scenery.
