Tucked away along a peaceful lane, Viewfield Cottage combines traditional Highland character with modern comforts. Despite its secluded setting, the cottage is just a few minutes’ walk from the lively town centre, giving you the best of both worlds.
It has parking for one car and a charming enclosed and quite private garden to the front (with furniture), just right for relaxing in after a day's walking, cycling or sightseeing.
Outside, the pretty whitewashed exterior is framed by lush shrubs and greenery that enhance the cottage’s sense of privacy and calm. At the side of the property, you’ll find private parking for one car, making arrival and day trips stress-free. Step through the door after a day of exploring, kick off your boots in the porch, and feel the welcoming warmth of the multi-fuel stove wrap around you.
Turn right into the cosy living and dining space, where rich red tones, soft sofas, and charming touches create a homely atmosphere. The dining area, just behind the lounge, is the perfect spot to enjoy hearty local produce and share stories from your day. Beyond, a modern, well-equipped kitchen awaits, complete with everything you need to prepare anything from a quick breakfast to a full family dinner.
The cottage offers three inviting bedrooms. Downstairs, the double bedroom features its own ensuite, while upstairs you’ll find two further bedrooms, each with twin beds and plenty of storage. Between them lies a spacious family bathroom with a large bath, a separate shower, and ample room for all your essentials.
Throughout the home, thoughtful décor, paintings, and photographs add character and warmth, giving the cottage a true home-from-home feel.
Step outside the back door and you’ll discover an enclosed garden — a peaceful sanctuary where you can enjoy a quiet morning coffee, a lazy afternoon rest, or stargazing under the Highland skies.
As you can gather from its name, the town is on the Spey, one of the great Scottish salmon rivers and one of the great whisky rivers as well. Speyside malts are famous worldwide and you are well placed here for the Whisky Trail, which boasts a dizzying array of distilleries, all offering tours and samplings.
Those looking for activities will find they are close to Aviemore and the Cairngorms, offering superb climbing and walking in summer, skiing in winter and with a funicular going up the Cairngorm itself, you have no excuse for not getting to the top one way or another. You can enjoy all manner of watersports in a heavenly setting at nearby Loch Morlich, with clay pigeon shooting, cycle tracks and off-roading also available on the Rothiemurchus Estate. The Landmark Park near Carrbridge also offers lots of family activities and fun. There are also excellent golf courses at Grantown, Boat of Garten and Nethybridge.
Steam buffs will enjoy the Strathspey Highland Steam Railway which runs between Aviemore and Broomhill, with an extension to Grantown currently under construction.
The area is a veritable paradise for lovers of wildlife, being a stronghold of the red squirrel, increasingly rare birds such as eagles, black and red grouse, the ptarmigan, the capercaillie and even the elusive wildcat. Boat of Garten has the distinction of being the first place in Scotland to which osprey returned to breed in the 1950s after dying out here 100 years ago and they have returned ever since. No stay in the area would be complete without a visit to Inverness, or the glorious beaches of the sunny Moray Coast.
