Jura Cottage became ours in March 2021. We love Scotland and particularly love the Cairngorms area. There is so much for everyone to do. The cottage is perfectly positioned for the many activities in the area, and is spacious enough for families and groups. Jura is positioned right next to the Highland Wildlife Park and Loch Insh Watersports, with Aviemore only 10 minutes drive away, the location is fantastic. We're sure you'll have a wonderful time staying at Jura!

Tanya loves wild swimming and we both love mountain biking, climbing, hiking, skiing, and wild camping. The Cairngorms offers all of these. In the area there are masses of other outdoor activities. To mention a few there are many water sports, wildlife spotting, fishing, quad biking, golf, visiting historical landmarks, karting track, geocaching, a high ropes course, quad biking and clay pigeon shooting. The area also has a lot of places for children to enjoy: the wildlife park and Rothiemurchus offer numerous activities. Now that we own a place in the area we hope to become regular visitors to the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre. After a day on the hill there are loads of family friendly cafes and restaurants to enjoy. Jura Cottage used to be the dairy for the old TB hospital and it's full of character. As it's such an old building, the walls are super thick and can take a while to heat up and although there are heaters in every room, it may feel a little colder than you'd like - we just add another layer and keep the lounge and dining room cozy.

The area around Jura is wonderfully peaceful. The view to the Cairngorms is stunning, and a sunset enjoyed from the picnic table outside or the breakfast bar in the kitchen can be spectacular. The Highland Wildlife Park next door is a world-class facility. Please note the Wi-Fi average speed varies around 10Mbps. The rural setting of Jura Cottage means that this is lower than most guests may prefer. Please plan accordingly. We like to get away from it all so this does not worry us. We download movies or any documents we require before going to the cottage.
