Heatherlea Cottage,
near Dalwhinnie,
Inverness-shire

Betten 6/7

Heatherlea Cottage is a cosy comfy cottage which is for country-lovers, walkers, climbers and skiers - standing alone on a hill-side with a burn at its side in its own 35 acres of land, halfway between Pitlochry and Aviemore and just above the village of Dalwhinnie (2 hotels/ garage/ railway halt) with a lovely view across the valley of the River Truim (fishing available) to the Grampian Mountains.

Heatherlea Here you will be staying on the very hill where Bonnie Prince Charlie encamped his army after raising his standard at Glenfinnan and who knows that he did not rest in this old crofter's cottage that already existed in its primitive form? Recently rebuilt, completely modernised and double-glazed, by the present owners who wanted a really snug house for their own skiing breaks in the Cairngorm Mountains (45 mins drive), it is centrally-heated throughout the year to keep the stone walls warm - while inner heat can be generated by imbibing the local 'Dalwhinnie malt' in front of the wood- burning stove.

Heatherlea 10 miles south of Newtonmore, it is easily reached via the fast A9 and then by track across a double-gated railway-line VERY securely fenced to ensure your privacy - and you have a press-button telephone to advise the signalman when you want to cross. You can catch a sprinter-train to Inverness or Perth from the tiny station (a quarter mile away), or drive westwards alongside beautiful Loch Laggan to visit Fort William on the west coast (45 miles).

Heating is by electric central heating (included), and wood-burning stove (LOGS included). Bed-linen and towels can be hired. Pets are welcome.
