About this property

Rathmhor - lovingly restored traditional stone house in Cairngorms National Park

Rathmhor is a traditional stone and slate house in Lynchat, two miles north-east of the town of Kingussie in the Cairngorms National Park. The house sleeps up to 8 people in 4 bedrooms.

Ground floor: fully-fitted kitchen with electric range cooker, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine; dining room seating eight; shower-room; front and rear porches; tumble-drier in cupboard under stairs; large twin bedroom 1. First floor: sitting room seating eight with wood-burning stove and 43" HD TV with Amazon Fire stick; king-size bedroom 2 with en-suite shower-room; small twin bedroom 3; king-size bedroom 4; family bathroom. Free unlimited wi-fi.

Large walled garden; courtyard with parking for up to four cars and electric vehicle chargepoint. Beautiful views south across Strathspey to the Glen Feshie hills beyond. And for rail enthusiasts, the Highland Main Line runs only one field away, so you can watch trains go by from the front windows!

Rathmhor was extensively repaired and upgraded in 2017. This work included the installation of a ground source heat pump, so Rathmhor is lovely and warm all year round, even when the outside temperature falls below -10ºC, as it often does in the Cairngorms winter. Rathmhor uses 100% renewable electricity.

Einfach zauberhaft.

Es ist genau das wie es hier steht: Es ist ein "liebevoll restauriertes traditionelles Steinhaus". Wir hatten uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Es ist wirklich liebevoll eingerichtet. Eine wunderschöne Verbindung von traditionell und modern/praktisch. Die Ausstattung ist hervorragend. Die Küche ist regelrecht exzellent ausgestattet. Am Kamin im Wohnzimmer sitzt es sich sehr gemütlich. Da schmeckt der Whisky aus der Gegend noch besser. Das alles super sauber und in gutem Zustand war möchte ich dennoch extra erwähnen. Es sind sogar viele Spiele und Bücher vorhanden. Die Lage ist ideal. Supermarkt im Ort oder in 15 min mit dem Auto in Aviemore. Viel Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in maximal 2h Autofahrt erreichbar. Sehenswert auch der Wald und die Berge nur 1 km hinter dem Haus (unter der A9 durch und dann rechts). Rachel and John sind super nette Vermieter, die für Fragen zur Verfügung stehen (gar nachfragen wie es einen geht) und die kleine Aufmerksamkeit im Esszimmer zur Begrüßung war auch super nett. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Amazing Property/Central Location

We absolutely loved our stay at the property. It's beautiful and clean and perfectly spacious for our group of 5. We even had an extra bedroom! The kitchen is awesome and we cooked breakfasts and one dinner there. The countryside is beautiful and peaceful and we had a couple hours drive in either direction to some great places to sight-see in Scotland. I hope to return!

Excellent location, lovely accommodation

The house is beautiful inside and very well kitted out. Although right on a (minor) road and quite near the A9, there is very little traffic noise. It's a little way north of Kingussie, but easy to get on the A9, so Aviemore etc are very accessible, and also Laggan/Spean Bridge. The access to the courtyard at the back of the house is a little tight for a large car, but there is good parking on the road in front. The accommodation is lovely. It's a bit different having a sitting room upstairs, but that works well. The bedrooms are all lovely, although the fourth a little small for two squabbling children. Very good wifi. Heating very good (lovely log burner upstairs). Plenty around to see and do.
