Hazel

About this property

Newtonmore 5.5 miles. This character cottage is nestled in the small, remote hamlet of Etteridge close to Loch Etteridge amongst the Scottish Highlands. Set in a peaceful region of Scotland, Hazel provides a relaxing break for families seeking a bit of time away from everyday life. After a day of rambling, look forward to unwinding in the sitting room, appointed with an alluring woodburner to keep you toasty during the winter months. Move into the kitchen to prepare your meals, home to an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, there’s plenty to assist with home-cooking. Pour yourself a glass of prosecco to accompany your dinner, before stepping outside and enjoying the wild Scottish scenery as the sun sets. On the ground floor lies the first bedroom, a sumptuous super-king-size (zip/link) with en-suite shower room, while upstairs hosts a further king-size and twin, each neutrally presented. Start your morning routine with a rinse and pamper in the shower room before preparing a coffee and planning for the day ahead. From the door there are plenty of beautiful walks spanning across the Scottish hills, flowing rivers, tranquil lochs and a variety of wildlife. If you’re looking to take in further outdoor pursuits, why not try skiing during the winter, canoeing on Loch Laggan or mountain biking at Wolftrax?
