The Byre is in Newtonmore. It used to be the village dairy. It's detached and you get all the space to yourself. It's on the edge of the village, so you can walk to the shops and pubs. The main view is over the golf course to the Cairngorms.
It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms. One has a kingsize bed and a bathtub. The other has twin beds. It's a 4 Star place, so it's comfortable and well looked after.
Downstairs is all open plan. Kitchen, dining area, and living room with a wood burning stove. There are big patio doors that open onto a deck. The deck is south facing and looks over the garden. We see red squirrels out there sometimes.
Newtonmore has what you need. There's a Co-op supermarket, a few pubs that do food, some cafes, and a takeaway. You can walk the Wildcat Trail from the door. It's about 10km all the way round.
For longer trips, Aviemore is about 15 minutes by car. That's where you find the ski centre, the funicular railway up the Cairngorms, and the Rothiemurchus estate for walks. The Highland Folk Museum is here in Newtonmore, which is good if the weather turns. Kingussie is just a few minutes down the road.
Facilities: There's parking, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and bedding and towels are included. One well-behaved dog is welcome. There's an electric vehicle charger. The front garden is enclosed.
