Superb log chalets overlooking scenic Loch Insh watch the waves crash in on our privately owned beach. Amidst the Cairngorm Mountain range at the base of Glen Feshie.Set in 14 acres of woodlands our site borders the Insh Marshes national nature reserve, the second biggest in Europe a haven for plants and wildlife. The site borders an RSPB reserve and looks over the Monadhlaith mountain range and the 700 acre loch with its two islands.
This is the ultimate place to stay for a romantic,relaxing or invigorating break whether you are on your own with the family or are having a get-together. Our log cabins offer a unique stop on your itinerary or a great base from which to explore further.
These secluded log cabins are away from the hustle and bustle of every day life yet less than 10 mins drive to bus and train stations and the facilities of the villages on either side of us, Kingussie and Aviemore.
You will feel like you are on your own yet have plenty of facilities on site should you need them, Including our own family run Gift Shop and Restaurant that are open all year from where you can purchase all the essentials or those things you might have forgotten. There is also a small family run store in the village of Kincraig a short away (less than 1 mile.)
