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.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Stableman's Lodge. We had a delayed arrival due to illness but Simon was very understanding and helpful, to the extent of having the fire going in time for our arrival, which was a lovely touch. The 'welcome' box was also very sweet and thoughtful, with coffee, tea and lots of other goodies! The house itself is lovely and cosy - we very comfortable and found we had everything you could need. The location is also ideal - a few minutes walk from the town's Main Street and shops/restaurants, but only a few minutes in the other direction to the large forest, where there are numerous trails and tracks to enjoy a nice walk. I would definitely recommend Stableman's Lodge for a relaxing stay and we look forward to a return visit!
Comfortable and well equipped and very clean good location
We stayed at Stablemans Lodge for a week in February which was excellent. This is the second time we've stayed and really enjoyed it. Perfect location and surroundings, with easy access to beautiful countryside. We shall definitely be returning again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is excellent, well equipped and in a great location. We've booked it again for a week in February 2024
Thanks so much for an fantastic stay - we loved Stablemans Lodge. When we arrived, the log burner was warm and there was a lovely hamper, which were such nice personal touches. The accommodation is very comfortable and well set out with plenty of space and everything we needed, It is well located in Grantown for exploring the area. Lots of outside parking and a fantastic covered veranda for drying wet/muddy clothes and shoes. The owners also let us use the shed for storing a bike, which we]as excellent. All in all a superb property.
Fabulous lodge and in such a great location. The pictures don't do the lodge justice, such a great bedroom layout for young families like us. Just don't overdo it on the log burner as the lodge can get rather hot very fast. We will be back ??
