Loch Cottage is located on the Pityoulish Estate just three miles from Boat of Garten and five miles from Aviemore, in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park. The property overlooks Loch Pityoulish and is surrounded by some of the best scenery that the area has to offer with views towards the Cairngorm Mountains. The property is traditional in style with a real fire in the sitting room, and offers well priced accommodation for those looking for a rural location with amenities just a short drive away.
In the summer months there is plenty to do in the vicinity; Loch Morlich with its water sports is just a short drive as is the Rothiemurchus Estate. The estate offers a broad spectrum of activities from archery and pony trekking to quad biking for the more adventurous. For the walker there are plenty of woodland trails and a particular popular spot is the RSPB Reserve at Loch Garten with its many forest walks. The Cairngorm Mountain is home to Scotland’s only funicular railway, and this unique visitor experience allows people of all ages to reach the Top Station where the Ptarmigan Restaurant is located with panoramic views from over 3,500ft.

Great stay at Loch cottage, what a view to wake up to every day. Cottage was comfy and had most of the essentials - only think missing was a washing machine really (although you can access one at a close location) Great wildlife to watch, bring plenty of nuts/seed for the birds. Caught a badger visiting most nights on the trail cam. will definitely return
We had a great stay at Loch Cottage, it was warm and well equipped. Surroundings speak for themselves - so many great walks on the doorstep. Our dog didn't want to come home. We will definitely be back.
A very special and beautiful location directly at Loch Pityoulish. We had a wonderful time. Even the weather was not very Scottish but much better than expected.
Within 5 minutes of our arrival felt totally relaxed. Just sat and watched the Loch and listened to the birds. Walking the forests of the Rothiemurchus estate was a delight . Lots of mushroom hunting. Really enjoyed our week. Many thanks
This year was our 12th stay in 14 years to Loch Cottage. We discovered it by chance driving past and then seeing it in an old school Visit Scotland brochure. Its become a big part of our kids growing up and everytime we go, we melt into the location. Swimming, kayaking and walks in the woods. Morning coffee drinking in the view and a glass of wine watching the water go calm and sunset colour the opposite bank. Bike rides from the door, with a pint in the Old Bridge Inn before heading back to the cottage. It really is the most beautiful place.
Third visit. Lovely cottage. The side facing the loch is a suntrap. Already talking about a rebook. The bird feeders attracted the usual small birds, but also 2 woopeckers, a cock pheasant and a squad of 6 ducklings with mother
Bring plenty of bird food to fill up the feeders, especially Nyger seeds. Also, bring your own essentials like salt, oil, sugar etc
Stayed here last year, it was so good booked again for this year. The cottage was spotless and as before extremely comfortable with stunning outlook
Lovely location
Very nice week again staying at Lochside
Phew, you could not ask for a more beautiful spot. 25m meander to the jetty able to wade in and wild swim. Close to Aviemore and Boat of Garten with oddles of bike trails. The cottage was well appointed and very welcoming. Only criticism and not of the cottage but of the cleaners- the kitchen was not as clean as the rest of the cottage- crumbs abounded.
The cottage is in a perfect location and was a wonderful place to stay. We were very happy to make use of the wood-burning stove on a couple of rainy evenings so it was kind of you to leave us kindling and some logs. Everything was very comfortable and we coped easily with the water.
Wonderful stay for fourth consecutive year. The addition of double glazing and wood burning stove have been a revelation in the cold snowy weather that we experienced. Very peaceful with beautiful views to the loch and beyond.
I loved my stay in the Loch Cottage, its in such a beautiful spot and is so quiet. The dog loved it too. Although your near Aviemore you get that wilderness feeling and the loch almost belongs to you. I was so sad to leave here. The cottage was comfortable and clean and had all I needed. Def be back.
Great place to stay, very peaceful and we loved having an open fire! Bliss to see the moon reflected in the little loch at night.
A great location , close to the Cairngorms. Lovely to sit outside in the evening in the sun with a drink and enjoy the view of the loch and the mountains. Cottage clean, comfortable and well equipped. Situated on a quiet road and yet within easy reach of Aviemore.
We had a fantastic time at Loch Cottage. The setting was beautiful overlooking the loch and hillside. We spent evenings in the garden watching the moon come up and the fireflies on the loch. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable, only 5 minutes or so to both Aviemore and Boat of Garten. There are loads of lovely walks close by so no need to go far if you don't want to. The lovely owners posted some clothes I left by mistake, which was really nice of them. We had a great time and would highly recommend a visit.
