Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the Cairngorms National Park, the guesthouse is surrounded by walking and hiking trails and is just 2 minutes' drive from Boat of Garten Golf and Tennis Club.

A full English breakfast is served each morning, with options tailored to dietary needs such as vegetarian or gluten-free. Packed lunches can be organized by the hosts for day trips into the park or to nearby attractions. Anderson's Restaurant, a highly recommended local eatery, is within a short walking distance but requires advance booking due to limited seating.
