Originally a crofters cottage, it has been sympathetically added to over the years. With breathtaking views, the cottage offers comfortable and generous self-catering holiday accommodation for up to 10 people. It is the perfect place to explore the Highlands and the Moray Whisky Trail, golf, cycling, hill walking as well as the castles of Aberdeenshire and Banff. Just 9 miles from Grantown on Spey, the cottage is within easy reach of Aviemore, the Landmark Centre, Boat of Garten, the Glenlivet Estate, Ballindalloch Castle, the Moray Firth and Inverness. Cycling, kayaking, nature watching, walking, the steam railway – there is a huge amount to do in this picturesque area of Scotland. Aird is also very well placed for golf, with easy accessibility to many championship golf courses as well as many hidden gems including Castle Stuart, Spey Valley, Nairn, Grantown-on-Spey, Boat of Garden to name a few. Aird comprises five spacious and comfortable bedrooms (3 king size doubles and 2 twin rooms), 2 shower rooms and one bathroom. There is a large entrance hall with plenty of room for coats and boots, a generous kitchen with large kitchen table (seats 10) which leads onto (up some stairs) a huge sitting room with panoramic window to enjoy the stunning views. A large L-shaped sofa, second sofa and armchairs provide lots of room for everyone. The kitchen is really well equipped and should have everything you need. Basics such as salt and pepper, cooking oil, teabags, dishwasher tablets and cloths are all provided. The house is accessed by a farm track. Please be cautious with low vehicles. In winter a 4x4 is adviseable. Like most remote houses and cottages in the area, Aird has it's own water supply. We ask you to be conservative with the water. The cows, sheep and deer around the house need to have water too! Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control at all times. The house is surrounded by wildlife and they must not be disturbed. Please also pick up dog poo from the garden. Please Note: There are some steep steps up from the kitchen to the sitting room, which might not be accessible for everyone. The paved areas leading to the front door and around the house are uneven and can be slippy. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 9 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33610000/33604800/33604714/a95ad2a8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious House With Large Enclosed Woodland Garden In Cairngorm National Park Nethy Bridge - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 162 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=33604714&PinnedHotelID=33604714&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69650000/69640400/69640338/7745f735.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Laundry Cottage - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms Aberlour - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=69640338&PinnedHotelID=69640338&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33577500/33577453/f056dcf6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bedroom house with large garden in Cairngorms - ideal for families Nethy Bridge - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 89 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=33577453&PinnedHotelID=33577453&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71620000/71615700/71615641/01a05857.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Full house with established garden, summer house, outdoor entertainment area Grantown-on-Spey - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 50 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=71615641&PinnedHotelID=71615641&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83790000/83782700/83782619/60197e25.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Balnagowan Cottage - family friendly cottage Nethy Bridge - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=83782619&PinnedHotelID=83782619&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82690000/82680500/82680488/896ec244.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Braeside - large family home in Nethy Bridge Nethy Bridge - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-06&endDate=2025-12-07&selected=82680488&PinnedHotelID=82680488&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40900000/40894400/40894372/d2ecd1c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Speyside Cottage.
