Corrour
House was built in the Victorian era as a dower house by the Grants of
Rothiemurchus. The Corrour House provides lovely 4-star country house
accommodation, personally run by the owners Carol and Robert Still.
Set in a beautiful location amidst 4 acres of secluded gardens and woodland,
it commands breathtaking views across to the Lairig Ghru pass and the
magnificent Cairngorm Mountains.
Situated on the Rothiemurchus Highland Estate lying between the River
Spey and the high tops of the Cairngorms, within the boundaries of the
newly created Cairngorms National Park, it is ideally positioned to allow
guests to take full advantage of the abundance of visitor attractions
and sporting facilities which are to be found right here on its doorstep.
Corrour House offers its guests charm and character with the relaxed informality
of a private home, but with the facilities and standards of service normally
only found in quality hotels. Offering the best of both worlds, being
within easy walking distance of the village of Aviemore, it provides unsurpassed
levels of tranquility without the bustle of other establishments.
Corrour House Accommodation
Enjoy the spectacular scenery and abundance of wildlife that the area
offers. From the lounge, dining room, or intimate bar, watch for Red Squirrels,
Roe Deer or perhaps catch a glimpse of the elusive Pine Marten crossing
the lawn. Step outside and observe the many species of resident and visiting
birds - from Fieldfares to Ospreys overhead as the Seasons unfold.
Whether your visit is for pure relaxation, sight-seeing, or one of the
numerous activities the area has to offer, they are always pleased to
offer advice and suggestions if required.
Corrour House retains many of its original features; from fine
cornices in the dining room, lounge and intimate cocktail bar, through
to stained glass window as you ascend the stairway.
Each of the eight spacious ensuite bedrooms are individually decorated
with, where possible, furniture contemporary to the house. As you would
expect, each room is provided with hospitality tray, television and radio.
Breakfast is freshly cooked to order using the best of locally
available ingredients, and we will happily accommodate any special dietary
requirements. Something extra special for breakfast – just let them
know and they will always try and accommodate.
Well behaved pets accepted by prior arrangement.
