About this property

Family home in the heart of the Cairngorms (nr to Aviemore)

This fantastic five bedroom family house has three bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, games room and a ski chalet style open dining and living area. Babies and children are catered for with two cots and high chairs and a large garden offers a great space for play. This truly is a perfect base for groups of families and friends to escape to the Scottish Highlands with glorious views before you even leave the house. Even better, the property is within minutes of a number of stunning walking paths and only a short drive to in-numerable outdoor activities including golfing, fishing, horse-riding, mountain biking and the skiing of Aviemore. The nearby towns of Kingussie and Aviemore offer shops, restaurants and pubs, ensuring that however you choose to relax and enjoy the Highlands, there really is something available for everyone.
The house is strictly non smoking and sorry, but we cannot accept any pets.

Great house in great location
The house has everything you could possibly need. It's very warm and comfortable. We had a great week over New Year. Being able to walk and cycle direct from the house into the forest was one of the many highlights.

Beautiful well equipped house in lovely location
Carriden is a lovely family home, well equipped for our party of 10 keen Munro baggers, cyclists and general lovers of the great outdoors. Plenty of space for everyone, bicycles to borrow, games to play, and plenty of sites of interest nearby, as well as the mountains and wildlife.
