This beautiful remote cottage on a picturesque estate high up the Findhorn Valley, offers guests the ideal escape from everyday life with incredible wildlife just moments from the doorstep.
Sitting in a prime position surrounded by the sweeping fields and pastures of the Glenmazeran Estate, this traditional cottage could be the home of your next dog-friendly retreat in the heart of the Highlands. Set in a remote and inspiring landscape, it's the perfect base for a family or troupe of friends and their faithful furry companion, wishing to explore the hills and glens of this astonishing area.
While windswept and atmospheric on the outside, step in and you'll discover lovingly renovated and stylish interiors. First, on the ground floor, the cosy lounge blends traditional features like a pretty fireplace, with calming natural tones and soft tweeds, plush sofas and chairs, and an adjoining sunroom, where you and Fido can gaze out at the inspiring scenery. Head through to the kitchen and dining space, a sweet, sociable area, with all the modern conveniences you could need and a table perfect for gathering at the end of the day and sharing stories. Your first twin bedroom is on the ground level, ideal for those who want to get up and out quickly in the morning. The other two twin rooms are upstairs, with lovely views and subtle, romantic decor, and — the best bit — all have en-suite bathrooms.
The location of the cottage enjoys the best of several worlds. Your first port of call will be the glorious space immediately outside the property, where you and your happy hound can enjoy a meditative start to your day or an al fresco breakfast. Take your pup for a walk around the grounds of the estate, surrounded by the rolling Findhorn Valley, for the perfect beginning to your explorations of the Highlands. To really impress your dog, head to the Cairngorms National Park (25 miles), a feast of hiking and woodland adventures, or to the famous shores of Loch Ness (28 miles).
