Stay in a little piece of history in this charming two-bedroomed cottage, which sits elevated on the banks of the River Nethy. Originally built in 1806, the property once served as a blacksmith’s cottage, but recent renovations have since delicately melded modern luxury with the property’s unique period features. Rustle up a meal in the open-plan kitchen/diner, which centres around the original magnificent stone fireplace. Admire the flames from the elegant Nordic-style dining table, or snuggle up with a book or dram (or both!) on the nearby loveseat. The dining area leads onto a newly built living area, equipped with a TV and PlayStation. Beyond lounging, floor-to-ceiling doors and windows make this bright space a twitcher’s paradise or a yogi’s new favourite flow spot. Come warmer weather, effortlessly transition outside via sliding doors leading to the patio. This cosy lodge includes two bedrooms and their ensuites. There’s also a family-sized bathroom: retreat to its bathtub after a long day in the hills, safe in the knowledge that nobody will come knocking. For those seeking extra moments of solitude, the king-sized bedroom has its own TV and DVD player, while the double offers garden views from its patio doors.

The enclosed lawned garden (south-facing) is perfect for children and dogs. You’ll find a 150-year- old oak tree, as well as the large stones once used as grafting stations by the blacksmith. Wooden steps lead you down to a riverside seating area; a haven for informal fishing, bird- and nature- watching, or simply summertime evening relaxation. On a quiet street, just a short walk from the centre of beautiful Nethy Bridge, The Smithy makes an excellent base for exploring the Cairngorms National Park. Take your pick from the area’s incredible walk/bike/swim and run spots, restaurants, cafes, activities, and so much more.
