Nethy Bridge, located in the scenic Highland region of Scotland, offers a charming getaway that comfortably accommodates up to four guests. Nestled within a renowned National Park, the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring a myriad of activities such as walking, hiking, stalking, fishing, and mountain biking. The estate boasts an abundance of wildlife, including deer, pine martens, and red squirrels, enhancing the immersive nature experience. For whisky lovers, the property is conveniently close to the Speyside Whisky Trail, while adventure seekers can head to a nearby outdoor activity center in Grantown on Spey for thrilling experiences like white water rafting, canoeing, and abseiling.
The cottage itself is designed for comfort and convenience, beginning with an inviting entrance that leads into a cloakroom/porch—ideal for storing muddy boots after a day of exploration. Inside, the traditionally furnished lounge features a Smart TV and a cozy wood burner, creating a warm atmosphere for guests to relax in during the evenings. The kitchen/dining room is well-equipped with modern amenities including an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, coffee machine, and washer/dryer, along with a solid wood dining table that comfortably seats four.
Accommodations include two bedrooms located upstairs: one double and one twin room, both offering views of the surrounding estate. The bathroom is spacious, featuring both a bath and a separate shower, providing a perfect retreat for relaxation after outdoor adventures. It's important to note that the cottage retains its traditional charm, which results in lower ceiling heights throughout, with the first floor measuring under 2 meters and the ground floor at exactly 2 meters, reflecting the age of the building.
Outside, guests can enjoy a peaceful garden area that is mainly grassed, complemented by a gravel driveway with ample parking space for two cars. The property offers stunning views of the rolling hills, making it an ideal location to unwind in the wood-burning hot tub. For those celebrating a special occasion, the Fae Bothy can be rented at an additional cost. This beautifully renovated space includes a fully fitted kitchen, a charcoal grill, a large dining table, comfortable seating, a roaring wood burner, and a WC, with options for private dining arrangements, adding an extra touch of luxury to the stay.
