Set amidst the dramatic landscapes of the Cairngorms National Park is this large, detached holiday accommodation, 3 Croftside, set within striking distance of all the amenities of the popular town of Aviemore. Enjoying a sought-after position within the Scottish Highlands, this cottage is perfect for families, avid ramblers, adventure seekers and those alike to call home, as the diverse landscapes of rolling hills, endearing woodlands and flowing rivers rest just moments away. Upon entering the property, be greeted by the spacious vestibule, where you can store any muddy boots and rain coats before winding your way into the open-plan living room, where you can look forward to enjoying the company of your loved ones. The large French doors are a striking element to this space, allowing a seamless integration of the outside in, whilst the woodburning stove takes centre stage and is awaiting to be lit during a crisp winter’s eve to fill the room with a gentle warmth and set a tranquil ambiance. Flick on the huge flat screen TV as you cosy up on the plush seating arrangement before regroup with your loved ones at the formal dining table to enjoy an evening of board games and delighting in a local takeaway or a home-cooked dish. Completing the space is the kitchen suite, featuring inky blue units topped with sleek white worktops and all the modern touches and integrated appliances one might expect from a self-catering accommodation. Slip through the door to discover the utility, a space that works in synergy within the kitchen, housing laundry equipment and ample space to keep the kitchen clutter free for the chef of the group, whilst they rustle up family-favourite dishes. Completing the ground floor is a further king-size bedroom, a spacious spot complete with good wardrobe storage and is served by a sleek ground-floor bathroom, ideal for grandparents or those who find stairs a little challenging. The master suite can be found on the first floor, where a plush duvet and quality linens drape across the sumptuous king-size bed, ensuring that sleep comes easy, whilst the third and final bedroom boasts a twin bedroom, complete with its own en-suite shower room. At 3 Croftside, the garden has been designed as an extension of the house itself, boasting a large enclosed lawn area where the children and canine companion are free to play, whilst you light up the barbecue to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining during a balmy summer evening. Better acquaint yourself with your surroundings further as you walk into the centre of Aviemore, where you will be spoilt for choice by the selection of takeaways, pubs and restaurants that await you, as well as the historical landmark of Aviemore Ring Cairn and Stone Circle, dating back to 2400 BCE to delve into the town’s fascinating past. Whilst here, an afternoon can be spent on a journey along the Strathspey Steam Railway, a scenic 10-mile ride taking you through breath-taking countryside, with the option of afternoon tea for a truly unique experience. Promising to be another wonderful day out for the entire group is Rothiemurchus Highland Estate, with a 13th century castle to explore, as well as a number of outdoor activities including clay shooting, quad bike adventures, fishing, pony trekking and a tree zone challenge, there is certainly something for everyone here! Keen walkers will be delighted by the Craigellachie Nature Reserve, where you can explore through the birch woodland, open glades and tree-fringed lochs, with four walking trails to choose from, whilst thrill-seekers can try their hand at winter skiing on the Cairngorms and Lecht ski centre. Families can look forward to a day out at the nearby wildlife park in Kincraig, whilst the Landmark Activity Centre in Carrbridge will entertain children with its water slides, climbing wall and wide selection of rides. With so much to see and do, bring your loved ones to 3 Croftside for a fun-filled holiday. EPC Rating: Band D
