AVAILABLE FOR SHORT BREAKS  - MINIMUM 3 NIGHTS 

The Stableman's Lodge is an intriguing wooden lodge situated in the small town of Grantown of Spey in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. The property has been tastefully and simply furnished, with a lounge/dining room, kitchen, and shower room on the ground floor, and upstairs a large open plan dormitory style bedroom, from which access can be obtained to the covered outside balcony area. The property benefits from having the latest modern ventilation system installed, which makes the property ideal for those suffering with allergies.

Grantown, is a traditional highland town on the River Spey, situated on the northern edge of the Cairngorms National Park. The town offers a varied selection of independent shops, bars and restaurants, together with many historic buildings and a museum where visitors can find out about the towns development since the 1760s.

The lodge lies adjacent to the ancient woodland of Anagach, which has beautiful woodland walks down to the River Spey, and is ideally located for exploring the National Park. Every form of activity and outdoor enthusiast is catered for in the local area, climbing, fishing, mountain biking and walking, to name a few are all on your doorstep. A visit to the Cairngorm Mountain Range either in winter for skiing and snowboarding, or in the other months is a must, the funicular railway to the summit gives the most amazing views, and dining at the top is available at the Ptarmigan Restaurant.

Aviemore itself is an ideal place to go and explore, the Strathspey Steam Railway leaves from here and travels through the most magnificent scenery to the small village of Broomhill. Whilst on the train you can sit back, relax, and travel in the way of a bygone age. The Cairngorm Reindeer Centre at Glenmore is also worth a visit, here you can see the Reindeer, and for the more adventurous arrange a walking tour into the surrounding hills. Another place to spent some time is the Outdoor Discovery Centre at Coylumbridge, there are activities here for all the family, bike hire, climbing wall, and a dry ski slope. Have a look here for their full range of activities

The surrounding area is also home to many of Scotland’s best known distilleries, Glen Grant, Glenfiddich, Glenfarclas and Cardhu, to name a few. A great day out would be to complete the Whisky Trail, from Grantown to Elgin, a distance of some 40 miles, and all have visitor centres and conducted guided tours, where you can find out about the making and history of the “water of life”, just make sure you have a non drinking driver with you!

Another great day out is a visit to Revack Estate, the estate has 10 miles of walks and trails for you to explore, where deer, red squirrels, bird life and fauna abound. A must see is the exotic orchid house, and together with the gift shop, restaurant, kids adventure playground, and the well stocked fishing area, it really does cater for the whole family.
