Holiday House Cairngorm National Park
Welcome to our web-site. We hope you find everything you need and that just a few minutes browsing will convince you that Fiathail House offers the perfect base for a memorable holiday in the spectacular setting of the Cairngorm National Park.
The Cairngorm Park, encompassing some of the most beautiful of Scotland's highland scenery, is an outstanding destination for holidaying in any season. The range of facilities, activities and interests catered for in the area is second to none in the UK, and includes; golfing, bird-watching, walking & climbing, mountain-biking, cycle hire, sailing & windsurfing, canoeing, wildlife parks, mountain railway, steam railway, outdoor activity parks (for big kids and little), skiing & snowboarding (the Cairngorm ski area is arguably the best in Britain), horse-riding, gliding, and salmon & trout fishing. For those who need less to do in their holidays all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy one of Europe's most outstanding natural environments.
We first fell in love with the Cairngorms about twenty years ago and have spent many weeks and weekends holidaying in the area ever since. Being a bit slow it took us many years to finally realise we should look to get a property of our own. It then took about three years searching; several frustrated attempts and failed bids before we eventually managed to secure the “ideal” property. We were looking for a location that gave us quick and easy access to all the main areas within the park (see the links and location pages for more on this) but which was peaceful had outstanding views and gave us immediate access to forest and woodland walks. We wanted a property which gave plenty of room for sharing with friends and family; which was as comfortable and well kitted out as our own home but which gave a real sense of being in the country and away from it all. Our aim was to provide a luxury self catering property that our guests would want to come back to again and again.
The result is a property which has already afforded us several fantastic holidays and one which we hope you choose to try for yourself. Take a few minutes to browse the other pages and take a look at the photos. The house has just been through a complete refurbishment with new bathrooms, new fitted kitchen and new solid oak flooring throughout. There are new fixtures and fittings in all the rooms and we're sure you'll particularly love the open plan lounge, dining area with centre piece log burner as well as the balcony accessed from two sides of the house which gives you ample opportunity for dining and relaxing in the open air whilst drinking in the beautiful surroundings.
The house is located in the Spey Valley and is in easy reach of all the main Cairngorm Park villages: Aviemore, Grantown-on-Spey (Grantown), Nethy Bridge, Dulnain Bridge and Boat of Garten.
We hope you'll agree that Fiathail House offers outstanding accommodation and that it's the perfect place for you and your friends or family to begin their own love affair with the Cairngorm National Park. We chose the name Fiathail (pronounced Fee-a-thale) from the Gaelic meaning “calm” or “peace” – we're sure you'll find that this holiday house lives up to its name.
Very best regards and thanks for visiting our web-site,
