About this property

Boat of Garten - welcoming & cosy family friendly house

  • A stylish, bright and comfortable 2-bedroom semi detached house in the heart of the Highlands, "Cairncraig" sits in the popular village of Boat of Garten within the Cairngorms National Park.

    The property is all on one level and sleeps up to four guests across one double bedroom and one twin. A travel cot, high chair and children's kitchen items are available for younger guests. There is a family sized shower room, a cosy lounge with direct access to the garden and a fully equipped dining kitchen. For convenience, we provide small amounts of tea, coffee (instant and pods), sugar, cooking oil, salt and pepper, along with a few dishwasher and washing machine pods.

    PLEASE NOTE: Maximum occupancy is 4, including infants.

    There is off-road parking for two cars and a secure garden with patio, furniture and BBQ for guest use. There is secure storage for bikes or golf clubs etc.

    Access to the property is by keyless entry, there is modern electric heating, electric oven with ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, microwave, Smart TVs in lounge and master bedroom (bedroom TV is streaming only) and Wi-Fi.

    Each bedroom is equipped with a hairdryer and there are hot water bottles for the chillier winter nights. Power, bed linen and towels are included in the rent.

    Inside the house is “no shoes” and a strict no smoking/naked flame policy is in operation. Parties and events are not permitted and, please, no anti-social behaviour as this is a peaceful area where the neighbours do not wish to be disturbed.

    Well behaved dogs are welcome. A £30 pet fee per stay applies, which covers the additional cleaning time needed to keep the house spotless for the next guests. They must sleep in their own beds, stay off the furniture/beds and you will do the usual clean up after them, inside and out. Please do not leave them unattended unless crated or restricted to the kitchen.

    Festive Period Check In Policy:-
    We welcome guests staying over Christmas and New Year and check-outs on 25 Dec, 26 Dec and 1 Jan are absolutely fine. Our cleaners don’t work on these dates, so check ins are usually unavailable. However, if the property is already vacant and prepared, it may be possible to offer a check in on one of these dates. Please contact me before booking and I’ll confirm availability.

    Cleaning/Laundry Fee
    A £125 changeover fee is applied per stay. This covers a full professional clean, fresh linens for all beds, towels for each guest and preparation of the house.

    Boat of Garten is a picturesque and popular village inhabited by friendly locals and visitors alike. The local shop & post office, Andersons Restaurant and The Boat Country Inn & Hotel are all within a 5 minute walk from the house. Carrbridge, Nethy Bridge, Aviemore and Grantown on Spey are all a short drive away where you will find plenty of choice of restaurants, bars and shops.

    The list of things to do in the area is endless - Landmark Forest Adventure Park, water sports at Loch Morlich or Loch Insch, cycling, golf, walking, skiing, zip wire venues, bird watching plus a never ending supply of walks where you can enjoy the breath taking scenery to name but a few.

    This welcoming and cosy house is the perfect base for families and friends to holiday while exploring the area with its dramatic and varied scenery together with a multitude of activities to suit all ages and interests.
