Once a much-loved family home the detached cottage offers plenty of open space for kids and loved ones to lounge. Entering the house, a bench is placed for guests to remove outdoor apparel before making your way into the large hallway. Either side of the hallway space is the living room (right) and the dining room and kitchen (left). The living space is decorated with flourishes of trinkets and paintings, comfy seating and a wood-burning stove. Cosy up with a book from the shelf or look for wildlife gracing Anagach Woods from the east and south facing windows.
The combined dining room and kitchen has sufficient seating for 10, a large range style electric cooker and a small sofa, also with windows facing towards the woods. The utility space is ideal with convenient access from the back door to the downstairs WC. There is a washing machine, large ceiling clothes airer and plenty of hooks for outdoor clothing. An extra sink, extra gas LPG cooker and huge cupboard for extra food storage space are all provided for added convenience. Just to the right of the stairs leads you to another WC with a shower. Adjacent to here is a double bedroom, with a view looking towards the rear of the garden.
Upstairs, you’re met with a spacious landing leading to 5 bedrooms. On the left of the stairs, a double bedroom, straight on reveals a quasi-twin room with a single and small double bed, and to the right of there a king-size bedroom. The right side of the staircase leads to a twin room with a desk and a double bedroom. A family bathroom with a shower/ bath, and a smaller WC and shower serve residents upstairs, reducing the morning rush for the shower.
The seating and patio area is outside the front door and faces towards the south and east, so guests can watch the sunrise over the Anagach Forest trees, or from the comfort of the communal space inside. The house and garden are enclosed so dogs and kids are free to roam.
Hearthside is the perfect location for those looking to get away from busy life and settle into a cosy town with plenty of adventure.
Hearthside House is situated in the charming town of Grantown-on-Spey in the Cairngorms National Park, meaning as well as beautiful landscapes, there are endless activities lined up for your stay.
Just beyond the garden is Anagach Woods, where walkers can take a cyclical 5km walk searching for roe deer, hares, crested tits and pine marten. A 10-minute stroll from Hearthside is the River Spey, one of Scotland’s ‘big four’ salmon rivers. Try angling, kayaking or canoeing with the family and take a calm evening stroll along the water's edge.
Hearthside benefits from the liveliness of the Cairngorms National Park where guests can walk, hike, cycle to their heart's desires. Join in on the Speyside Way from Grantown-on-Spey to Cromdale. Explore activities at the Rothiemurchus Centre (approx. 16 miles). Take a ‘Hairy Coo Safari’ or unwind in the Smugglers Sauna near Loch an Eilein.
Relax nearby at The Barn Café which offers delicious treats, a warm cuppa and a large wood-burning stove to warm up by. Get into the winter spirit with wildlife and visit the reindeers at the Cairngorms Reindeer Centre (20 miles). Those searching for more winter adventures can visit the Cairngorms Mountain Resort for skiing, mountain biking, tubing (approx. 23 miles) or skiing at The Lecht (35 miles, open from mid-December) is ideal for thrill seekers.
After all the outdoor adventure, there are also plenty of local activities to enjoy in Grantown-on-Spey. Head to Mrs. Marjory Marshall’s beloved bookshop, The Bookmark and nestle by the fire with your new read. Discover handmade crafts from Highland Artisans and take home art created by the locals.
Slow down and taste the Highlands at Cairn distillery (2 miles) which offers both majestic views and unforgettable whisky experiences. Venture a little further to the Glenlivet Distillery (under 20 miles) and Speyside’s infamous Malt Whiskey tour, both await your discovery. MacLean’s Highland Bakery in Grantown-on-Spey is the perfect spot to pick up a sweet or savoury treat, like the well-loved lasagne pie. Grab a bite at The Wee Puffin or stop for a refreshment at Claymore Bar, the town has plenty of options. After exploring the delights of the Cairngorms, cosy up in Hearthside House, share stories from your day’s adventures before taking a well-deserved rest in your beautiful cottage nestled in the heart of the Highlands.
