About this property
Nestled within the beautiful rolling Scottish countryside in the village of Tomintoul, you will find this delightful newly built dwelling, Berg Cottage. This stylish, high spec and accessible cottage provides the perfect base for families or groups of five wanting to explore the magnificent Cairngorms National Park. The rural location has lots to offer if you enjoy spectacular scenery, walks and Cairngorm wildlife. The Glenlivet Mountain Bike Trails, Lecht downhill mountain bike area and the Lecht Ski slopes are ideal for those keen sporty types and if it's history you're interested in, venture towards the wonderful Ballindalloch Castle and Drumin Castle, dating back hundreds of years. Enter into the airy utility room, where you can pull off your mud splattered boots following an exhilarating afternoon expedition and throw your dirty walking gear into the conveniently placed washing machine. The underfloor heating will soon dry any soggy footwear. Made up of three well-decorated bedrooms, guests can choose from a spacious ground-floor twin, a snug single with dressing table or a bright and airy king-size bedroom that can be found on the first floor boasting large Velux balcony windows on its charming sloping ceilings and its own en-suite with a roomy walk-in corner shower, basin and WC. The Velux windows are complete with black out blinds for light sleepers but can also give star gazers the unique opportunity of admiring the night sky whilst gently drifting off to sleep. Wander through to the first-floor sitting room and turn on the gas stove before taking in the panoramic elevated views or making yourself comfortable on the sofa and turning on the TV to catch up with all your favourite shows as you wind down for the evening. Venture back downstairs and into the stylish kitchen to whip up a tasty family meal with the help of the practical utensils and appliances, to savour at the 6-seater dining table as you crack open a bottle of bubbly and toast to an exciting adventure with your nearest and dearest. Enjoy a refreshing shower in the downstairs bathroom or while away the hour as you soak up the bubbles in the spacious L-shaped bath, before grabbing your toasty towel from the heated rail and making your way into your bedroom for the evening. Alternatively take the evening outside and cook on the gas BBQ as you watch the sunset on this magnificent countryside setting and appreciate this wonderful moment. For an unforgettable holiday to Scotland, be sure to check into Berg Cottage. EPC Rating: Band B

Modern interior with some personal touches but not over cluttered. Well equipped house. Lovely living room upstairs with comfortable seating and great view. The property is detached but sided by other properties and is situated towards the end of the village. Expect some usual urban noise at the weekend. The village is lovely and there are a couple of walks which are dog friendly straight from your front door. Take it a bit further and you have Glen Avon and Glen Livet to explore. Also in the village are some hotels and bars, restaurant and a shop. Settling down at night in the property gives you the opportunity to tune into a good sized TV. However, it is not a sat or digital aerial fed TV. It is an internet hook up and you need an Amazon account. I would say most folk do but if you don't or are not tech savvy then bring a book. Once logged in you have access to the usual array of TV apps including free use of a netflix account. Great for binging and catch up TV. Not so great for live streaming TV as it buffers quite a bit. Might just need a better WiFi upgrade? All in all great part of the world and lovely property.
