Oak Cottage

You’ll find Oak Cottage; a beautifully modern holiday cottage in the Highlands, tucked away along a quiet cul-de-sac in the pretty village of Kincraig. Don’t be fooled by the lodge’s outwardly modest appearance, for it hides a delightful secret around the back: a huge extension with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides and large skylights for even more natural light. This extension hosts a Shaker-style kitchen with a generous island, plus a dining and lounge area.

On warmer days, open the sliding doors and enjoy indoor-outdoor living, leaving the kids to play freely in the natural and safely enclosed oak woodland that slopes upwards from the sunny patio. These woodlands attract red squirrels, and bird watchers won’t be disappointed thanks to visiting woodcocks, great spotted woodpeckers, redstarts and tree pipits. You might even be lucky enough to spot osprey fishing in Loch Insh or buzzards circling overhead. On colder days, stay cosy next to the wood burner on your choice of sumptuous four-seater sofa or a Scandi-inspired armchair, surrounded by nature.

Kitchen and living

The kitchen is ideal for large groups, with Neff ovens, a massive larder cupboard and wine fridge. Through a pair of French doors from the kitchen is a separate lounge with an open fire: the perfect space for a board game or three. You’ll find a fantastic selection of games in the wooden chest that doubles as a coffee table. The lounge also has a Smart TV and Bose speaker, plus squishy seats for all the family. Movie night sorted.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

There are two bedrooms downstairs – one twin and one double – along with a luxe shower room and separate toilet. A utility room holds the washing machine and dryer.

Upstairs, there’s a bright, spacious main bedroom with ensuite, a cute and cosy single room, a twin room, and a family bathroom with bath and shower. The front-facing bedrooms offer great views over the Glen Feshie mountains and the River Spey.

Amenities

There’s no chance anyone in your party will suffer from boredom at this modern holiday cottage in the Highlands. There’s a ping pong table in the garage (which can be taken out onto the patio), scooters to borrow and, of course, the generous garden to explore.

Outdoors

To the front of the house you’ll find a flat lawn, and an electric car charging point. The woodlands to the rear are enhanced by having been left to nature. A gate from the back garden leads straight onto the Speyside and Badenoch Ways: a boon for walkers and cyclists. And once you’ve worked up a thirst, you’re ideally placed to quench it with a stroll down the lane to the charming Old Post Office Gallery and Coffee Shop or – five minutes further on – the local pub, The Suie Bar.
