Nothing says it's August in The Highlands better than the Heather 💜
An important cultural and ecological symbol in Scotland for centuries - especially in The Cairngorms. You'll find the moors and hills covered in shades of purple and mauve this time of year. In the past it was used for roof thatching, bedding, fuel, medicine, ale and dyes.

One of our favourite walks from the cottages - Glen Einich. Completely immersed in all shades of purple and green that only August can bring.
'This is without a doubt one of the best cottages we have stayed in (if not the best), a real sense of getting away from it all. Have loved seeing all the wildlife from the doorstep. Have not had to travel far the whole week. A real break for our first family trip to Scotland. Hope to come back one day. Thank you for such a clean and well equipped cottage.'

Nothing makes us happier than reading our guest book.

'Our first stay at Forest Cottage...what a truly wonderful place to celebrate my husbands 50th and have some well deserved r and r! The cottage is beautiful of course... but the setting/location is utterly magical. If you're nature and wildlife lovers like us, this place has it all. You feel completely immersed in the landscape, the forest are just amazingly well managed. We've stopped so many times on our walks just to admire some of the time most magnificent trees.'

'The very definition of unspoilt. A perfect week away in a beautiful cottage surrounded by stunning scenery' July 2024
'Cairn Valley is the most magical cottage in the heart of the beautiful Rothiemurchus estate. Five stars for location, style, facilities, ambience and seclusion. Our honeymoon, anniversary happy place. Oops, our secret is out!' May 2024
'We had an excellent stay at the Cairn Valley cottage. The cottage itself is remarkable - very clever use of space, modern with all the necessary amenities yet still very cosy and a remote cabin vibe. We loved the access to nearby trails for walking and running - nice long walks to Aviemore to get supplies (great steaks and venison from the Rothiemurchus farm shop) and fresh fish and samphire from the wonderful local fishmonger Pro Fish. Not enough time to fully explore the wilds so we'll certainly be back when we get a chance. Already looking forward to it!' May 2024

'Serenity, relief from the hustle and bustle. The space and time to read, think and explore. These are some of the treasures we found here - and they are just a sample. Incredible location, impeccably maintained, with all the amenities you could want for. And don't get us started on the red squirrels.'
📍Forest Cottage
Come to the trees: to forget and to remember. To forget the straight jackets of manufactured time and cubicles. To remember something much older than the Gregorian calendar and the forty-plus-hour workweek. Come to the trees: to touch and be touched by something more primary, more whole.” - Dr. Gavin Van Horn, "Breathing Trees"

'The quickest route back to self, to inner peace, is bare feet on the grass, arms around trees, head in the clouds, heart in the forest. You are nature, go home once in awhile. It will bring you so much you didn't even know you were missing'

'Our first stay in the Highlands and at Forest Cottage and it exceeded our expectations. Running, walking, bike rides, cosy nights by the fire, it was just what we needed. Tried a lot of restaurant recommendations including @oldbridgeinnaviemore Cheese and Tomatin Aviemore The Rowan Tree and Andersons. The cottage had everything we needed for a perfect escape from everyday life. Thank you, we will be back! Adele, Mark, Leighton, Layla and Max March 2024
