Surrounded by woodland, scenic walks can be enjoyed in the immediate area. Aviemore town centre and rail station are less than 10 minutes’ walk away. The Cairngorms National Park is within 30 minutes’ drive of High Range Lodge Hotel. Great place, stayed in the motel section, the room has everything you need, I mean everything. LOVE the shoe tray and the two-way bathroom doors. Very helpful staff, they let us check in late. Super clean. Great location. Ideal.

Located in Nethy Bridge, less than 1 km from Abernethy Golf Club, Ptarmigan provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. It is set 7.7 km from Boat of Garten Golf Club and offers bicycle parking. The apartment features family rooms. Lovely apartment in a beautiful area, the hosts were very nice and even offered some breakfast items. You can do a nice walk through nature to the Nethy Bridge Hotel for dinner. But the best thing: a highland cow near the castle and the miniature donkeys you could watch from the porch :)
