About Wildcat Lodge

This very well-presented log cabin is situated in a stunning open setting in a quiet site with direct access to the woods, close to the village of Newtonmore, in the Cairngorms National Park. A real home-from-home this cabin is ideal for a couple on a romantic break, a family group or group of friends who will all love the peaceful ambience of the location and appreciate the luxury of a private hot tub from which the surrounding hills can be fully appreciated whilst sipping a glass of something sparkling.

The comfortable living area has a touch of welcoming tartan and a very well-equipped kitchen where tasty meals can be easily prepared. There are two smart bedrooms.

French doors from the sitting area give direct access onto the decked balcony which is a perfect spot for a quiet read or pre-dinner glass of wine, along with a dip in the hot tub. The Cairngorm National Park is a truly magical location for a holiday as it offers everything you would expect of the largest national park in the United Kingdom.

Aviemore is close by and offers a diverse range of activities for all ages. Skiiing, of course, in the winter time along with mountain biking, pony trekking, archery, quad bike trails, sled dog riding and so much more.

Wildlife lovers will be in their element here as the high mountains and ancient forests attract wildcats, capercaillie and pine martens along with golden eagles too. Be sure to take a ride up the Cairngorm Mountain on the Funicular Railway as no matter what the weather the view is magnificent.

A wonderful holiday location with something for everyone and a top notch holiday home to return to and relax in at the end of a busy day with a soak in your own wonderful hot tub.

Wildcat Lodge Reviews

Christine
We spent an incredible 7 nights at Wildcat Lodge. The property was everything we hoped it would be and the site was clean and quiet, surrounded by the most amazing views. The owner was kindness itself, even when bombarded with stupid questions and she even made a special trip to deliver a new kettle when the old one sprang a leak. I was particularly impressed with the provision of the red squirrels it's almost as if she knew how much I wanted to see one! We will definitely be returning!
An amazing lodge. Very clean and well decorated. Perfect to get away for some peace and quiet. Surroundings were fantastic and the owner was so lovely.

We found Wildcat Lodge a beautiful, wellequipped and comfortable homefromhome while we were on holiday in the Cairngorms. It is situated on a peaceful caravan and camping site surrounded by trees, and we were thrilled to watch red squirrels and birds such as woodpeckers on the feeders outside the Lodge every day. Highly recommended.

We had the best week away in Scotland. Wildcat lodge was just perfect, warm, well equipped, lovely and clean, great quality linens and towels. The hot tub was great after exploring during the day hiking. Dog friendly with lockable gated decking, bird and squirrel feeders with food left to fill them, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the red squirrels feeding and stocking up every morning. The site was small and quiet with plenty of space between the lodges, absolutely perfect retreat set in the most stunning surroundings. We absolutely loved it!!
Suzanne
Beautiful location Wildcat Lodge everything you need for a comfortable holiday.
Caroline
Cosy warm clean comfortable cottage in a beautiful location. Loved the hot tub and the surrounding area. This is our second visit and would definitely visit again and recommend to family and friends.
A comfortable, spacious and well equipped holiday lodge with the bonus of a hot tub for star gazing in the dark January skies. Temperatures were often sub zero but the lodge quickly warmed up probably better insulated than our home! with the main fire a great focal point. Both the kitchen and bathroom looked as good as new and could not be faulted. The various birds and red squirrels kept us amused as they fed just outside the kitchen window. We completed some nice local walks eg Centre of Scotland Stone as well as exploring further afield to the Cairngorm mountains, Aviemore and Dalwhinnie. Thanks to Lynn for ensuring all was well, and the shortbread biscuits!
Rachel
This property was a gem. Perfect location for exploring the highlands. The lodge had everything we needed and the hot tun was the added bonus. The owner was lovely and checked we were ok, left us a welcome hamper and came mid week to refill and check the hot tub. We spotted Deer, Red Squirrel, a Woodpecker and lots of other birds on the feeder outside the lodge and bird feed was even left so we could top this up
The lodge was really comfortable and very clean. The welcome pack was a lovely addition as were the tablets for the dishwasher. Also the opportunity to buy souvenirs was a nice touch. Couldn't recommend this lodge highly enough. The site was nice and quiet and the daily visit from the red squirrels was lovely.
Amazing cottage and wonderful hosts highly recommend this as a great place to stay
Great location and very comfortable lodge. Had a wonderful week thank you Lynn. Will hope to return next year xxx
Judith
What an amazing lodge to stay in! Everything you could need an more, in a quiet location with stunning views. The lodge was clean, comfortable, cosy, it was perfect. The complimentary teacoffee supplies were a bonus, Lynn was very helpful on the phone shame we never met in person seeing the squirrels every day from the window was great aswell. Nothing to complain about at all, we would love to be back there again very soon. Thank you Lynn and Eck

The only suggestion Id like to make is possibly easier access to the hot tub. We loved it but entering the tub and on exiting the tub we found quite difficult. Possibly a handrail.
Had a truly lovely week staying at Wildcat Lodge. Quiet area and not too close to other lodges. Most main attractions are under an hour's drive away and there's also plenty of lovely walks on your door step. The lodge itself is clean and comfortable and cosy and has everything you need. It's just a lovely place to stay and we would highly recommend it to everyone that wants some quality time with loved ones, friends or family. We would certainly book again.
Just returned from an absolutely fantastic holiday at Wildcat Lodge, situated in amazing, scenic, peaceful surroundings. The CabinLodge was more than expected, it was beautiful, spotlessly clean & equipped with everything & more than expected it was comfortable & relaxing....the views & wildlife around the lodge were stunning. It was perfectly placed for exploring all in the area. We cant wait to return one day! Everything was PERFECT.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. A real luxury cabin with every need catered for. The attention to detail is absolutely brilliant and the location is out of this world. We had a fabulous week here and will be returning. Felt very home from home and the added bonus is the hot tub. Amazing walks and wildlife on your doorstep. Top class.

What a fantastic lodge in a wonderful location. Convenient for anywhere in the Highlands. Red squirrels and pheasants meander around, and the snow capped mountains made the views unbeatable. I would definitely recommend this lovely home from home holiday lodge. All credit to the owners.
We had a wonderful week in Wildcat Lodge near Newtonmore. The lodge was so clean and cosy, we loved it. Sadly we didnt see much snow but this is a great base for touring around and I would highly recommend it. We loved watching the birds, red squirrels, hen and cock pheasants feeding from the bird feeder outside the kitchen window. Thank you Lynn and Eck for a truly memorable holiday.

Amazing little lodge! Would deffos recommend. Could do with new pillowsmattress on the bed but wouldnt say its worth knocking a star off. Excellent facilities. Host is lovely.
The four of us plus 2 mostly well behaved dogs had an absolutely amazing time a wildcat Lodge. The lodge itself exceeded my expectations in both quality and comfort. The easy access to nearby walks and the river was fantastic. It was a 6 12hr drive to get there and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Hopefully we can return so. Thanks so much for a wonderful week!
Richard

Loved our stay, this was our second stay, the lodge was very clean & comfortable, a real home from home & the surroundings in the Cairngorms National Park are breathtakingly beautiful, we can't wait to visit again.

Christopher
We have had an absolutely amazing stay at 'Wildcat Lodge', everything was totally immaculate and we literally felt at home within the first ten minutes. .. We have stayed in many cottages in the past several years and I really must say that this is the best yet! The owners clearly care that guests have the lovliest holiday, we even played tennis every night and enjoyed a bike ride with all the provided equipment in the attached shed. The hot tub was glorious and the owners also came mid week to tend to the hot tubs upkeep which we were really grateful for. We totally fell in love with the Lodge, the area and Loch Eilien, we would definately love to returm.. Thank you so much

What a fantastic cabin, in a beautiful place, we got the weather and went home with a tan! Lovely and quiet, beds really comfy and has everything you need
Very comfortable, great views, great location. Everything you would need was catered for I.e soap powder, dish washer tablets, toilet rolls, variety of kitchen utensils although I would add a smaller bowl. Otherwise everything was perfect. We would definitely stay at Wildcat Lodge again and would recommend. Ollie loved the walks around the area and liked the veranda to watch any people that passed, which there wasnt many!
Had a lovely stay at Wildcat Lodge with my husband and our dog. Great location with fantastic views. Will definitely be back for another holiday. The jacuzzi was an added bonus and great to go in at night time after lots of walking and sightseeing during the day. The lodge was spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Little gem.
Caroline
Loverly warm cosy cottage set in a beautiful location,the hot tub was a welcome addition after a day of activitys.
It's a great location with all the required facilities. Look forward to going back
Absolutely fantastic. Ideal location to explore Cairngorms and further afield. The lodge is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The park it is set on is very quiet and lodges are well spaced out giving you your own privacy. Lodge has digital TV an WiFi and a fully equipped kitchen. Bedrooms are big and spacious, large decking area with hot tub to relax in. The property also has good parking facilities at the lodge. Local attractions are Approximately 1 hour to Fort William, 1 hour to Inverness and 30 mins to Aviemore, all of which are a nice drive. Dalwhinnie Distillery is about 5 miles away and the nearest town Newtonmore has places to eat and drink and a well stocked supermarket for anything you may need. Would definitely stay again.
Astrella
Set in the most beautiful surroundings, these lodges are set well apart from each other, if you're looking for a peaceful, tranquil get away in a stunning location with lots of beautiful places to explore close at hand then Wildcat Lodge is perfect!
We absolutely loved Wildcat Lodge.
Simone
