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.

We have just returned from 5 days at the Den. A beautiful peaceful location, with lovely wildlife, we saw red squirrels every day. A great base with easy access to the cairngorm's & surrounding area. The lodge was clean, cosy & very well equipped. 100% would return to these beautiful lodges.

A Charming Little Retreat in the HighlandsThey say “good things come in small packages,” and The Den certainly lives up to that sentiment. This compact yet well-equipped accommodation had everything we needed for a comfortable stay—including a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, which was a lovely touch. Storage space was ample, and I found the double bed exceptionally comfortable. My friend stayed in the room with two single beds and had no complaints, so I assume those were equally satisfactory.While The Den is advertised as sleeping four, I’d recommend it for two adults and two children rather than four adults. We were a party of three adults and found the space cozy; a fourth might have felt a bit cramped.The location was ideal for exploring the Scottish Highlands. Newtonmore is just a five-minute drive away, offering a few dining options and a Co-op supermarket for those who prefer to cook at home.Overall, The Den is a delightful base for a Highland adventure—compact, cozy and well situated.
