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.

Beautiful home from home with everything we needed for an amazing family holiday. It is set in a beautiful location and has plenty to do around it and plenty green space. The campsite was busy but campers and people in lodges were very respectful so it's wasn't noisy at night. The only downside to the lodge were the single beds in the second bedroom. The mattresses were very thin like toddler ones and wasn't comfortable for my eldest, teenage daughter. The beds were better suited to younger kids. That's the only reason I didn't give it five stars.

We recently stayed at the Den for my mum's 90th birthday. It was a fabulous weekend in very comfortable accommodation with a very attentive and helpful host.
