Look no further than Park Cottage if you’re searching for a tranquil retreat that’s close to all the amenities a town has to offer. The Alvie Estate farm’s working fields encircle this three-bedroom holiday home and its enclosed garden. The cottage’s southeast orientation towards the Cairngorm mountains makes it the ideal spot to witness breathtaking sunrises and the constantly shifting landscape as the seasons change.
Park Cottage, once a charming two-up, two-down residence for the estate’s resident stalker, has been carefully extended to increase its interior space and fully utilise its breathtaking surroundings. The cottage was recently renovated and is now a light-filled, chic, and welcoming haven.
You enter through the wood-lined porch, where you can stow your outside shoes and shrug off outerwear. A well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar that seats two people is located on one side of the house, along with a dining area, utility room and shower room. A large lounge with a wood stove and a variety of comfortable couches and chairs to relax on is located on the opposite side.
The property is a great option for groups that include both early risers and night owls because all three bedrooms are located up a thickly carpeted staircase. The window in the main bedroom frames those stunning views of the mountains, and the rustic farmhouse style makes the space feel cosy.
The contemporary upper bathroom is shared by a twin and a second double bedroom, further extending the style.
With breathtaking vistas outside, Park Cottage is just as welcoming inside. The garden provides 360-degree views of the Monadhliath Mountains, Alvie Estate, and the Cairngorms. On a sunny day, light a BBQ, recline in the garden chairs, or unwind in the wood-fired hot tub beneath the stars.
You can directly access the Monadliath mountains from the rear of Park Cottage, which looks west. Despite this sense of solitude, it only takes ten minutes to get to the town of Aviemore, which has shops, bars, and dining options. The village of Kincraig is even closer.
Alvie Estate is the perfect place for thrill-seekers. In addition to Park Cottage, it is the location of G2 Outdoor, which provides outdoor activities like canyoning, rafting, gorge walking, and ziplining, as well as a variety of on-site activities like clay pigeon shooting, quad biking, zip trekking, and pony trekking.
