This stunning, extremely spacious holiday home is ideally located in the fabulous Cairngorms National Park, on the edge of the village of Newtonmore, in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. An Torr is a perfect choice for a large party, who are sure to appreciate the comfort, space and facilities available. Everything about this property is generous, with a large entrance leading to a vast reception hall and the central staircase to the upper floor. Guests will be impressed with the kitchen, with its range cooker, central island, breakfast area and French doors opening onto a private rear patio, ideal for an alfresco breakfast during the summer months. With a handy rear boot room and a large utility room, theres plenty of space to store walking boots and outdoor clothing. The dining room allows for sociable meals, and in the summer months, the double doors can be swept open to the patio for a relaxing cup of coffee outside. There are five spacious bedrooms across the two floors, with Dorma bedding throughout, and with the first floor master bedroom benefiting from a walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite and French doors accessing to the balcony. The sitting room is also situated on the first floor and radiates style with big comfy sofas and French doors to a large balcony, which overlooks the rear garden to the pretty open hillside beyond. Not only is there a large, one acre woodland garden to the rear, but also a private orchard where guests can sample its selection of fruit in the summer months. Newtonmore is considered the Walking Centre of Scotland, with the Wildcat Trail passing the River Spey and River Calder through stunning unspoilt countryside, home to an abundance of wildlife, including wildcats of course!

Overlooking the River Spey, in the Cairngorms National Park (Britain's largest), Newtonmore has several shops and pubs, as well as two excellent, award-winning museums - the Highland Folk Museum and Clan MacPherson Museum. The village may seem familiar as you wander around, as it was the setting for the popular TV series, Monarch of the Glen.

The kitchen has all the equipment we needed for making meals which was great. The village is a nice short walk away and we had delicious dinners at both of the local hotels .

The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of seating for everyone, and lots of space. We loved the location as it was quiet but there was lots to do nearby. Would recommend the cairngorm Alpacaâs and the folk museum. Not far from Aviemore where there is plenty to do. Was lovely to see deer and birds out the back, would have loved to stay for longer and will definitely be back.
