Set within the beautiful surroundings of Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve, Wildcat Lodge is a beautifully converted former farm steading offering a peaceful Highland retreat in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park.
Combining traditional character with contemporary Scandinavian-inspired interiors, this spacious property comfortably sleeps six guests in three bedrooms, with the flexibility to accommodate a further two guests on request.
At the heart of the property is the spacious main living and dining room, a welcoming space for everyone to gather, complete with a log burner, record player and comfortable seating. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed for preparing meals during your stay, along with a breakfast bar for more informal dining.
A second living room on the ground floor provides another comfortable space to relax, complete with its own log burner and TV. This room will normally be set up as an additional sitting room but can also be converted into a fourth bedroom on request, with a king-size sofa bed accommodating two additional guests.
The interiors have been thoughtfully furnished throughout, combining the character of the original building with modern comforts. A collection of vinyl records and board games adds to the relaxed atmosphere, making Wildcat Lodge a lovely place to spend time together.
Outside, Wildcat Lodge benefits from its own private garden, providing a lovely space to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The Finnish sauna is a real highlight, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the Cairngorms. The property forms part of a traditional steading development arranged around a shared courtyard, with neighbouring properties also in use. Beyond the courtyard, the beautiful landscape of Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve provides a wonderful backdrop to this peaceful Highland retreat.
Wildcat Lodge enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting, surrounded by the exceptional scenery and wildlife of Insh Marshes. The nearby town of Kingussie, approximately two miles away, offers a selection of independent shops, cafés and places to eat, while the wider Cairngorms National Park provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling, wildlife watching and outdoor adventures.
Whether you're planning an active Highland holiday or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to spend time with family and friends, Wildcat Lodge provides a wonderful base from which to discover this beautiful part of Scotland.
