Two shots in 2 mins. First shows the new snow on the hills, second a rainbow. Nothing static round here!

Lovely autumn weather. This is from Pippa and my walk from the house/ cottages this morning. So you don't have to go far to enjoy the scenery, this was a 2.8km walk and most of the shots were taken close by.

As dog owners ourselves we are always happy to advise on offlead local walks. This is one of our favourites, in wood, moorland and river (for one of us!) by the river Tromie.

It was really special to welcome Bill and Rose here from New Zealand, who booked with us in 2019 to come in March 2020. They postponed to 2021 then cancelled due to covid, but are now here! They are Macgregors with family connections to Auchmore house between here and Laggan. Also the last guests to come whose travel was disrupted by the pandemic. Really hope they enjoy the rest of their long-anticipated trip!

Embarrassed that today was the first time we stepped inside the Aviemore Ice rink. It offers skating, ice hockey, curling, ice discos and more besides each winter. We tried our hand at curling under the excellent tutelage of Graeme, and really enjoyed it. Surprisingly energetic. But next time we will wear thicker socks!

Just to remind you that pets are always welcome at our cottages. This gorgeous photo is Heidi relaxing in Loft cottage yesterday after her walk with her owners, Pippa and I up the hill.

There is snow up the mountain! Cairngorm mountain is currently only offering beginners' skiing as many runs are incomplete. But there is lovely snow higher up for walkers and ski tourers.

This coming weekend is looking quite good weather wise, so how about a 2 night break to enjoy it?

White Christmas at Croft Holidays.

Fantastic fireworks at the golfcourse tonight. It's a mile away, so you can easily walk down to watch. But if you have nervous pets we are far enough away for them to be at peace.

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...we are located above the village so get good views of the early morning mists, spectacular this morning.

Woohoo we now have our full Short term Lettings license for our Newtonmore cottages, ref Hi 70254 F. What a journey this has been. Please note if you have stayed before, we had to change the layout of stable cottage from a 4 to a 2 person cottage in order to comply with new requirements. Our EPC rating is F.

In celebration of this we are offering 3 weeks for the price of 2 in 2024. To take advantage of this offer, please book and send your deposit by Nov 20th 2023. If the weeks vary in price the cheapest week is free. This offer only applies to stays for consecutive weeks.

We look forward to seeing you next year!

I learnt today that there are only 29 species of butterfly in the Highlands, but 1300 moth species! Excellent workshop today put on by Caberfeidh.

This is run by our lovely neighbour Jenni, great experience.

Fancy trying something different during your time in the Cairngorms National Park? We offer trekking sessions and Meet and Greet sessions

Dates now updated.

We have unfortunately just received a cancellation for the first week in August for Barn cottage. This means that, together with other vacant dates, Barn cottage is now available from 8th to 21st August!

Loft cottage sleeping 4 is also available 15th to 22nd Aug.

This is almost unheard of to have vacancies this late on for August, so why don't you take the opportunity to book a late summer holiday, and see the Newtonmore Highland games and the Cairngorms in their summer splendour! Barn cottage has a double bedroom and a small single futon bed, and is fully equipped for a comfy stay.
