Crofthouse at the Roundhouse

UK Scotland Highlands Inverness-shire

07811 322 722   Uvie Farm Newtonmore Cairngorms National Park PH20 1BS

A fabulously comfortable and cost-effective base for activities and exploration in the Cairngorms.

The perfect Highland retreat for a large(ish) group of friends, The Crofthouse is situated on Roy Abel's farm in an exquisite Highland location, and kitted out with all mod cons and home comforts. It sleeps eight and is perfect for small groups seeking a base in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Visitors are made to feel very welcome on this working farm, and it's dog-friendly too!

The Crofthouse itself is almost Scandinavian in feel, pine-clad outside and in, with a large open-plan living area, a family room that sleeps four and four further beds in two separate spaces in the loft. It's no slouch when it comes to state-of-the-art facilities, with underfloor heating, wifi and flatscreen TVs. And remember, it's a farm, so you can you watch farmer Roy's herd of Highland cattle from your balcony. Crofthouse guests can even use the new 25m2 Crofthouse Studio free of charge. Here you can dance, draw, do a spot of yoga hold a small-scale meeting or meditate as you take in the stunning wood and mountain views.

The location isn't far from Aviemore, with all its activities and funicular railway. Nighttime can reveal some truly spectacular starry skies.

Unique and very special experience in breathtaking lovation

March 2023. From the moment we drove through the gates of the farm, there was a very special feeling that’s hard to put your finger on. We were welcomed to our accommodation which was clean, comfy, cosy and had everything we needed. Meeting Roy and his beautiful cattle was a truly rare opportunity to get up SO close to these awesome beasts. They all have individual personalities and Roy supported us to have the confidence to be hands on; feeding and even grooming them! We learned so much about the land and its history too. Everywhere you look there are stunning views of valleys, forests and mountains dressed by clouds and clear skies that expand and contract with the weather. When we left, I knew that I’d need to come back at some point and will never forget this magical place. Thanks Roy! Judith Holby
