Dail Na Seilg

About this property

Dail Na Seilg is a welcoming, detached cottage in the Cairngorms National Park in Newtonmore, Highland. With off-road parking, spacious living areas, an enclosed garden and nearby amenities, the cottage makes a wonderful base for a family or group of eight hoping to explore the Scottish Highlands. Step inside the charming abode and locate the kitchen/diner, ready to serve your self-catering needs with an electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher. Tuck-into breakfast at the dining table for four or set the larger table in the separate dining room, with space for all eight guests to enjoy a hearty meal together. During the summer months, a lovely, enclosed garden awaits with two seating areas to dine alfresco or kick back with a cold beer.

There are two sitting areas to choose from; a sitting room with cushioned seating, a TV and a woodburning stove to snuggle up on colder nights, whilst the sun room is a light-filled sanctuary to relax with a book. After the day's adventures, park your bikes in the garage, put your walking gear on a spin ready for tomorrow, and freshen up in the cloakroom before dinner. Upstairs you'll find a bath to pour in the bubbles and soak tired muscles or take a hot shower, all the while your towel warms on the heated towel rail. Climb under the sheets in either the double, one of two twins, or claim the master bedroom; a king-size with a TV and en-suite shower room.

Newtonmore is a popular base in the Cairngorms National Park with shops, eateries, a golf club and petrol station right on your doorstep, plus the Highland Folk Museum to discover artifacts dating from the 1700s to 1960s. If you're here for the outdoor adventures, you're nestled in Britain's largest National Park; Cairngorms has something for everyone with mountain hikes for breath-taking views, such as Ben Macdui, cycling trails and lochs for classic watersports. Head to Kingussie to explore the Highlands by horseback, browse the Fused and Light gallery or the medieval Ruthven Barracks, the ruins of a hilltop fort. Those seeking more history should visit Aviemore's Ring Cairn and Stone Circle, dating back to 2,400 BCE, as well as Rothiemurchus, a 13th-century island castle; wildlife lovers will also find the Craigellachie National Nature Reserve here!

For more adventures, Fort William is reachable, known as the gateway to Ben Nevis, along with a fantastic golf club, Old Inverlochy Castle and plenty of outdoor activities to choose from. Your Highland adventure awaits at Dail Na Seilg! EPC Rating: Band D
