About this property

Something a bit special! This quirky detached wooden property, built in 2004 in the form of a signal box, is adjacent to the station in the Badenoch & Strathspey village of Newtonmore and was featured in The Times' list of '50 best cottages, beach houses and rural retreats' in January 2013. To make the most of the panoramic views towards the River Spey and Cairngorm Mountains, the accommodation is upside down, with a spacious, open plan living area on the first floor, while on the ground floor are a double bedroom and bathroom with sauna. Decorated to a high standard, this charming property is in an ideal location to explore the village and take advantage of the walking in the area. The cottage is 150 metres from a link into the Wildcat Trail - a 7km orbital walk and path network. The other attractions of the Cairngorms National Park are also within easy reach - an excellent base at any time of year! EPC Rating: Band D

Overlooking the River Spey, in the Cairngorms National Park, Newtonmore has several shops and pubs, as well as the Newtonmore Craft Centre and two excellent, award-winning museums. The area offers fine golf, fishing, pony trekking, walking, bird-watching, cycling, mountain-biking, climbing and skiing, making it an ideal base from which to discover all that this scenic area of Scotland has to offer.

  • Rhona

    It's so clean, cosy and comfortable. Absolutely 5 stars all the way.

  • Elizabeth

    The sauna is a bonus, as is the home made chocolate cake and fresh flowers in the kitchen. Came home and immediately rebooked for next year.

  • Leigh

    High spec and everything provided you could desire. Amazing views from the property. Great location. Lovely owners. I go away for the experience of visiting new places and have never stayed in the same place twice. For The Signal Box I'd make an exception and hope to do so next year. Also the Chocolate cake was delicious!
