Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a borehole.. This beautifully finished, detached, Highland lodge is situated almost exactly in the central point of Scotland; a monument marking the point is just a short walk down the lane. The Den is perfectly located to explore the Cairngorms National Park, but because it is so central in the Highlands and the country, there are also amazing sights to see within a short drive. Ben Nevis lies to the west, whilst Inverness and the Black Isle are to the east.
The Den is set in a lovely, quiet site with space all around and views of the Cairngorms. It is less than ¾ mile from the A9, and is very conveniently located for a short break to explore this amazing part of Scotland, maybe as part of a larger tour. Arriving at The Den, you will be immediately pleased with its location and how it has been finished. Its spacious, open plan layout has been decorated beautifully, and has an enormous amount of light flooding in. A patio door leads out onto the large decking area, which has an excellent aspect of the mountains. It is the perfect spot to sit in with a glass of wine in the evening. The site has a lot of shared space to explore with children, including a large play area. It is also a great site for dogs because there are many walks to explore right from the doorstep. If you have your own horse, stabling is available by direct arrangement with the owner, who lives on the adjacent farm. The village of Newtonmore is only a few miles away with pubs and restaurants, as well as a supermarket. Shop 4 miles, pub and restaurant 3 miles.
The Den can be booked together with Cruachan (UK13683) to accommodate up to 10 guests.
Free WiFi
The children's play area, sitting-out area and stabling is shared with other properties on site.

This wee spot is magical, perfect for wildlife watching, lots of wild birds, a large herd of deer came out the woods to graze in the horse field, Red squirrels frolicking about, nice walk along the river, king fishers, and signs of woodpecker activity, the site was very clean and very well looked after, the lodge was very comfortable and clean, nicely decorated with a few personal touches and a fantastic view a true home from home, a useful book with local info places to eat things to do, really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.Could do with new oven trays, we had tinfoil to cover them, the junction of/on the A9 is tricky indicate in plenty time, you can hear the A9 from site but it's more of a background noise and in noway distracted from the peaceful site.

Had a lovely short break at The Den. Had everything we needed. Surroundings are beautiful and we saw a red squirrel!!! Loved the design of the lodge as it was very light and airy.
