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.

Sophie
Itâs spacious, clean and feels so homely. The beds were comfy and the bedrooms had plenty of storage, the kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to easily cook for big groups, and the garden was really lovely and great for a barbecue! We were able to find plenty to do in the area as well as venture further afield one day to climb Ben Nevis.

Very well equipped house and plenty of room for 5 adults and 3 children. Excellent location within walking distance to Newtonmore town and close to many tourist attractions. Children loved seeing rabbits in the garden and deer in the field behind the house. Would deffinetly stay again if visiting the area.

It was very well equipped and clean. We had 3 generations of our family staying here and it was perfect for all of us, with lots of space to spread out and get together. The beds were comfy (although some pillows were a bit lumpy!) Showers were good and it was great to have so many bathrooms. Nice to have some areas to sit outside but some of the seats were a little hard up. We didn't find the sofas the comfiest but that's a minor detail in what was otherwise a very pleasant stay. We would definitely return.
