Vacation Rental Description
Set in the heart of rural Scotland, near the Highland capital of Inverness, this family run self catering holiday home is ideal for a relaxing time away from the city life. Situated in a small unspoilt coppice on the shores of Loch Ruthven, a local RSPB nature reserve, the cabin boasts splendid views of highland mountains and secluded lochs.
Although remote in location the residence is perfectly placed to explore the Spey valley to the east, with the summer and winter ski resort of Aviemore just 30 miles away, with the new funicular railway to the top of the Ptarmigan, and the Black Isle to the north. Areas of interest include walks in the Cairngorms, the Landmark Centre at Carrbridge, the Waltzing Waters at Newtonmore, Loch Insh water sports, Loch Ness exhibition and Urquhart Castle. The beautiful Glen Affric is less than an hour away, as is Fort William with ski facilities at Aanoch Mor and gondola open all year round for superb views of Loch Eil and Glen Coe. The Lecht family ski centre is also only 45 minutes from the cabin.
The cabin itself has 3 bedrooms with a double bed, two singles and a set of bunks, sleeping 6 people in total. There is a bathroom/toilet with full hot water facilities, from a modern immersion heater system. There is a large lounge dining room, with adjoining kitchen. There are panel heaters in each bedroom. The electricity is paid for by the client by means of a standard £1 meter.
There are many brochures in the cabin to help you decide how to spend your time, but you may want to just sit at the picnic table on the veranda watching the wildlife go by, or stroll to the bird hide on the shores of the loch to catch a close glimpse of Slovenian Grebes. Whatever you decide to do, we know that you will really enjoy your time at Beithe, enjoying God’s creation to the full.
The cabin is available for public rent from April to November each year. The summer months get busy, so please book early to get your preferred dates.
