The Alvie Collection: Three unique Highland escapes

The Alvie Collection brings together three distinct cottages. With each offering its own take on a unique escape to the Cairngorms National Park.

Whether you’re drawn to sweeping mountain views, charming interiors, or the thrill of adventure on your doorstep, Park Cottage, Gleann Cottage and Beinn Cottage each provide a special base for discovering the very best of the Scottish Highlands.

Park Cottage

Surrounded by the open fields of Alvie Estate’s working farm, Park Cottage offers a front-row seat to the Cairngorms. This three-bedroom home has been thoughtfully extended and renovated, transforming a traditional stalker’s cottage into a spacious and stylish home-from-home. It is a lovely new addition to our Alvie Collection.

The wood-fired hot tub, tucked into the garden, is the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the estate or nearby trails. Despite its sense of seclusion, Park Cottage is just 10 minutes from Aviemore, making it an ideal blend of peaceful getaway and action-packed holiday.

Gleann Cottage

For lovers of interiors, Gleann Cottage is a dream. Sleeping four, this stone-built cottage has been completely reimagined. It blends rustic features with contemporary comfort. It’s carefully curated decor – with reclaimed wood, exposed beams and heritage textiles, nods to the surrounding landscape.

Outside there is a wood-fired hot tub in the private courtyard, and you can enjoy a morning coffee while gazing out at the hills from the front bench. All of this is right in the centre of Alvie Estate, surrounded by woodlands, fields, and sometimes snow-capped peaks.

Beinn Cottage

Beinn Cottage, also sleeping four, combines the enduring charm of Highland craft with calm, modern styling. Many original features remain – exposed rafters, antique fittings, thick stone walls – but a soft colour palette, natural light, and beautifully chosen furnishings have brought this historic cottage firmly into the present.

Inside, the layout flows from a sunny kitchen and dining area to a restful lounge. Upstairs there are two inviting bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. Throughout the home, carefully selected artwork and books give a sense of place and of time well spent.

The cottage’s garden is another highlight. It offers panoramic views and the chance to spot deer, red squirrels, ospreys, and more. With a hot tub, lounge seating, barbecue, and outdoor storage, it’s perfectly set up for adventurers and relaxation seekers alike.

Adventure, right on your doorstep

All three cottages benefit from their unbeatable location on Alvie Estate. A Highland playground all set within the working farm, offering everything from farm tours, pony trekking, clay pigeon shooting, and quad biking to gorge walking and bushcraft, details of all the activities can be found on the Alvie Estate website. You can also enjoy the onsite zip trekking with G2 Outdoor. The nearby Cairngorms, Loch Insh, and Speyside Way offer even more opportunities to explore by foot, bike, or boat.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a romantic weekend, or an active group getaway, the Alvie Collection has something for everyone. Book cottages individually or, if availability allows, book Gleann, Beinn and Park together to accommodate up to 14 guests.
