Situated on the outskirts of Knockando in the heart of Speyside, Grouse Cottage offers comfortable self-catering accommodation for up to six people.

The River Spey is renowned for it's fishing while the Speyside way is a popular route for ramblers and there are unlimited options for hiking in the surrounding hills. Mountain bike trails are located nearby within the Cairngorm National Park whilst further afield, the ski town of Aviemore and the beaches of the Moray coast offer excellent opportunities for a day out. There are plenty of opportunities in the area for a round of golf on the nearby Championship standard Ballindalloch Golf Course.

Autumn Wonderland
Fab property. Really well appointed and beautifully presented. Quirky layout with a great history. Crabapple jelly left by the owner was beautiful with some Stilton cheese picked up from the deli in Aberlour. Great base to explore everything from the coast at Lossiemouth to Aviemore, Cairngorm and beyond. Loved distillery spotting, even if I am tee total! Highly recommend the cottage, would definitely stay again.

5/5 Excellent

Grouse Cottage
Absolutely lovely cottage. The rural setting is lovely and quiet. It was very clean and very well appointed for 4 adults and 2 17 year olds. Very comfortable and an ideal location for discovering the Cairngorms, Speyside and the Moray Firth. We’ll definitely be back.

5/5 Excellent

Lovely cottage in a lovely location
The cottage was in a lovely location looking out over fields, distilleries and ben rinnes. It had everything we needed to feel like home from home. The owner of the property kept us up to date with everything, whilst going through this tough time. We would recommed staying here and will be booking for a stay again.

5/5 Excellent

Great location, spotlessly clean
Had lovely stay at this property. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Much bigger than it looks from the photos. Nice and quiet, perfect getaway.

5/5 Excellent

One week stay at end September 2019
The cottage was well located with everything provided - really everything making it a home from home. All of us really enjoyed our week's stay (2 adults and our dog) and will not hesitate to stay again should we be in the area. Recommend a visit to Knockando wool mill and Cardhu distillary. Oh and the weather was brill...
