Whatever adventure calls your name in the Cairngorms National Park, stay in this charming holiday home and enjoy having the unbeatable company of your canine companion by your side. Happily sleeping a pack of nine guests (seven humans and two dogs, of course), this property couldn’t offer a better base for discovering an endless selection of dog walks in the UK’s largest national park. Once tired feet and exhausted paws return to the comfort of home, a generous allocation of space both indoors and out assures a fantastic spot for relaxing in any weather conditions.

This two-storey property offers an instant home-from-home ambience which will leave both humans and pups feeling contented from the moment you arrive. Pack your dogs' favourite food bowls, beds and toys and park them in the kitchen, an extremely spacious room which acts as a family hub of the house. Your four-pawed pals will no doubt enjoy a cosy sleeping space right here when you retire to the bedrooms upstairs. Throughout the evenings, you can all relax together in the lounge, an inviting spot with a Smart TV and a wood burner for keeping the space warm. In sunnier weather, you're also welcome to step out into an enclosed rear garden, the perfect spot for dogs to run wild.

With tennis balls in tow, pack up and explore dog walkies galore. Flock to Grantown-on-Spey (14 miles) to embrace a walk through the mystical tree-lined woodlands of Beachen (14.5 miles) and Anagach Woods (14 miles), or simply let your pup sniff out a route along the River Spey (12 miles). Stay close to home late at night and discover the darkest skies above Tomintoul, letting your beloved pup protect your pack as you admire this incredible Dark Sky Discovery Site.

The Cottage is great, lots of space, the kitchen is the hub of the house it's big with lots of storage and everything needed to make delicious meals. There is a separate dining room downstairs also a cosy lounge. The bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of storage, two bathrooms upstairs and a snug with sofa and tv is good for the children or for aRead more little bit of quiet time. The Village has some great walks nearby with an adventure playground along lane behind the village store. Enclosed garden. Hide

Super enclosed garden for the dog. Loved the log burner and the big kitchen. We tended to eat in the kitchen but there was a large dinning room.
