Cairngorms Church Hill House - Self-catering in Highland
Kingussie, PH21 1JG, Highland
Scotland,
Regno Unito
Looking onto the quiet streets of the village of Kingussie on the western edge of the Cairngorms, this lovely 1820s house was once part of the Highland Folk Museum but is now a place to come and unwind into the surrounding countryside. Hike the hills or stroll down to the beaches on the Spey for a morning swim.
Inside, the combination of 19th-century architecture and 21st-century comforts works perfectly, giving the place the cosy feel of a Highland lodge. The whisky room, stocked with decanters, books, deep armchairs and a big fireplace, is the perfect spot for relaxing after a day of kayaking, walking or even deer stalking in the company of your experienced host, who lives in the house the other side of the long outbuildings.
They can arrange whisky and champagne tastings if you're after a more indulgent trip, or simply leave you to enjoy the peaceful garden with its sitooterie – a sort of three-sided shed where you can idle, sip and watch the weather.

Local points of interest from Cath Richards:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Cath Richards:
- Climb the Cairngorms or walk in Ancient Caledonian pine forests. Ospreys nest nearby and are easily seen in season. Get close to elusive Scottish wildcats at the Highland Wildlife Park, part of the Royal Scottish Zoological Society, 4 miles away
- Ski at Cairngorm Mountain, hire a boat at the beautiful Loch Insh Outdoor Centre, mountain bike at Laggan Wolftrax. Play golf or fish the Spey or Loch Gynack. Pony trekking was invented here, book at Highland Horse Fun. Or go nocturnal zip-wiring
- Landmark Forest Adventure Park at Carrbridge is a dream for kids, and big kids. Take a trip on the steam train at Aviemore. Or head to the lovely beaches of the Moray Coast, an hour to the north. You can borrow buckets and spades at Nairn beach
- The Speyside Whisky Distillery Trail starts an hour’s drive away. Dalwhinnie, in the dramatic Drumochter Pass, is the nearest (20 mins). Forget football, the ancient game of shinty rules here, catch a match between rivals Kingussie and Newtonmore
- Touch 2,500 year old stone walls at the Pictish fort of Dun da Lamh. Jacobite fans have Ruthven Barracks, Culloden Battlefield, and Fort George. Balmoral and the Aberdeenshire castles are within a day trip. Blair Castle (45 mins) still has a private army
- Aviemore shops stock every sort of outdoor clothing and equipment. Within an hour are boutiques and galleries at Logie Steading, House of Bruar, Brodie Country Fare, and several excellent antique shops, including an antique carpet dealer in the High St
