Grantown-on-Spey,
If you want sublime silence, baa the odd sheep then West Gorton is the place for you!
A superbly located fully modernised traditional Shepherds cottage well off the beaten track but only one and a half miles from the popular town of Grantown on Spey. The cottage is set on its own in the foothills of the Cairngorms, with a private stone road running through woodland and over open moorland - the peace here is only disturbed by the grazing sheep. The cottage has been fully modernised with spacious family accommodation of open plan ground floor living room/dining room/kitchen with attractive hardwood flooring and the original stone walls, there is a superb log fire for the winter months.
The cottage has wonderful views over the adjoining Cairngorm Mountains and down the Spey Valley. Some visitors are quite happy to stay at the house just watching the changing lights and colours over the surrounding countryside rather than travelling to the many superb places of interest in the local area.
The cottage has easy access to easy riverside walks in Grantown on Spey or alternatively more arduous walks are available directly from the cottage itself. Grantown on Spey has an 18 hole golf course with a par three golf course available at the Craggan Centre along with football golf & frisby golf. The Craggan Outdoor Centre also provides opportunities for such things as archery, abseiling, high ropes, kayaking, mini quads and mountain bike hire. Water rafting is available closer to Forres at Relugus with Ace Adventure.
Grantown on Spey is a superb location for exploring the Highlands and Whisky Trails together with the Cairngorm Mountains. There is even easy access to the Moray Firth with its superb beaches. West Gorton truly provides a superb location with which to discover Scotland and enjoy scenery heritage and warm welcome.

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous. If you like the quiet then this place is for you
Peace and quiet! The cottage is located a short drive from Grantown on Spey. The only sound to be heard was the sheep and the pheasants! Lovely walks outside the front door, and many things to see and do in the area. Lovely!
A secluded location perfect for exploring or curling up to read.
I didn't want to go home after staying here and neither did my 2 teenagers which says a lot! The most amazing views and peace that you rarely experience anymore, only the birds singing, it was just perfect and only a 5 min drive to Grantown on Spey which had all the amenities required for a holiday. There is so much to do in the area as well, many walks from the door and so many beautiful places to visit. Such a cosy cottage, lovely and warm and plenty of logs supplied for the open fire. It is well equipped and the beds were very comfy. The only thing I can slightly pick at was the fact there were no hand towels, (maybe they'd just forgotten to put them out) I did manage to find one in the linen cupboard so it wasn't too bad!l We will definitely be returning to this absolute gem of a cottage but next time will bring bikes and maybe kayaks as we could have made good use of them in this amazing part of the country.
Beautiful cottage, totally off the beaten track. Despite the snow and the -15 temp, the cottage was warm and cosy and the open fire was an added bonus. Lots of great walking. An abundance of wildlife. Grantown-On-Spey is a lovely friendly place with a fantastic butchers, bakers and fish and chip shop. Scilla kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed and Tom, the caretaker, was around in case there were any problems, which there weren’t. We had a fantastic, relaxing week just walking the dogs and enjoying the area.
Located on its own track, this cottage is ideal for those who want peace and quiet but is an easy 5min drive from the shops on Grantown. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again.
This was the perfect place, overviewing the valley. Whether the evenings by the fireplace or the glorious mornings, we really loved it. The house is the perfect size for 4 people and bare an electicity general shutdown when we arrived everything was great. Hidden gem.
This cottage ticked all our boxes. Secluded yet 10 minutes drive from the village Grantown on Spey. Open fire, nice shower, good beds, all the amenities you need after a days hike. We loved it!
What a perfect, peaceful place to stay! Lots of fantastic walks. Everything you need is in the cottage, it's cosy and warm with the log fire. We will definitely be back.
An excellent week in this lovely property. The location is perfect, close enough to Grantown on Spey for groceries and shopping yet far enough away to feel complete isolation and enjoy the stunning 360 degree views. We absolutely love this area and this property was perfect for us.
