About this property
Award-winning & stylish - Caman House, in the heart of the Cairngorms.
"Great find! Fabulous location and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!"
Apartment 2 is a first floor, light-filled modern renovation in a charming Victorian building. This cosy apartment with aga wood burner sleeps 4. The lounge with its high ceilings has large windows on both sides with views across the rooftops to the hills beyond. The lounge has a modern style with crisp white walls that work as a great backdrop for the striking collection of Scottish artwork.
The house is named after the local sport of shinty, and the stick or ‘caman' that is used to play this traditional highland game, and there's local shinty memorabilia displayed in the hallway.
The large double bedroom is decorated in traditional Highland style, with warm colours, muted tartan wallpaper, antler chandeliers, tweed curtains and oak furniture. There is a smaller twin room, beautifully presented with individual reading lamps - all of our beds and mattresses are of the highest quality to ensure you sleep soundly during your stay. The separate kitchen has a dining table/dining area and is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, full oven and induction hob, fridge freezer, microwave etc. The spacious shower room has a large shower, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a wc.
Caman House is right in the centre of Newtonmore and just two minutes walk from great pubs who serve bar meals and local beers, plus cafes just across the road who serve meals all day, an Indian takeaway, and a couple of restaurants – a surprising amount of choice for a wee village right on the doorstep if you don't want to cook!
There's a supply of guidebooks, boardgames and DVDs. TV/DVD player, JBL bluetooth portable speakers and excellent wifi. Electric central heating throughout and logs provided for the woodburner.
There's plenty of roadside parking at the front of the property in a recessed parking bay, or on the Main street. A free public carpark is a 2 minute walk away.
An Asgard 4-bike cycle-storage unit is in the grounds; this can be booked by either guests staying at Apartment 2 or The Bakehouse. Please contact us to check availability and to reserve (free). Once the 4-bike secure store is booked by either party, it is then for their exclusive use only.
This unique and charming apartment is Visit Scotland 4 star rated, and will exceed your expectations for size, character and comfort. Part of an exclusive tiny portfolio that recently won the prestigious Highlands & Islands Best Self Catered Accommodation Award.
1 well-behaved dog welcome (please note that as this is a 1st floor apartment there is no garden - there is excellent dogwalking straight from the door locally). Please let us know when booking if you are bringing a dog.

CAMAN HOUSE - SUMMARY Superb ‘hub’ for visiting the whole of the Highlands in day trips - Inverness, Fort William and Perth all one hour away. A great base without re-packing for a relaxing holiday. A blend of Victorian original features and modern design. First floor (1 dog welcome, great walks straight from the door - no private or enclosed garden though). In the centre of the village - cafes across the road, pubs that serve good food a few minutes walk and seasonal museums. Short drive to Aviemore, Highland Wildlife Park, Landmark, Reindeer herd, distilleries and much more. Parking 15 meters (Main Street).

Our family of four truly enjoyed this stay. The home is beautifully decorated with lovely details. The location is excellent for chilling in a charming town or hitting the road for exploring the Cairngorms. Would definitely return.
A wonderful apartment which is well situated within the Grampian mountains. Whilst on the main road, the street is quiet, especially at night. Lots of things to see and do in the local area. Well-kept and comfortable, I would highly recommend this holiday apartment.
Great location, comfortable and homely apartment, and well furnished with everything you need for your stay. Lovely space to return home to after a day on the hills. Attentive hosts made us feel most welcome. We would highly recommend.
We loved our stay at Dianne and Rod's place. They have impeccable taste and the place had just the right balance between comfortable and homey and clean and tidy. the check-in was seamless, communication excellent and no unexpected surprises. Thank you!
