Located in Grantown-on-Spey, in the Cairngorms National Park
The Courtyard Bothy is located in the Highlands in Grantown-on-Spey. The town sits at the foot of the Cromdale Hills, on the River Spey in the Cairngorms National Park. It's an ideal base for exploring the mountains, forests and lochs while staying somewhere quieter than the main tourist centres. Aviemore is only 20 minutes away and the coast is around half an hour. The Snow Road, a 90 mile scenic route cutting through the heart of the Cairngorms, starts in Grantown and so does the Dava Way, a 24 mile trail along the old Highland Railway line to Forres. It's surrounded by stunning scenery and is a great base from which to explore nearby attractions.

About Us
In 2013 we decided we wanted to live somewhere beautiful, where we felt part of a community and where we could have a better work/life balance, so we moved from Essex to Grantown on Spey and bought a Guest House, RossMor.
We love everything about living here!
When we sold RossMor in 2019, we bought a Victorian Villa with an outbuilding which became the Courtyard Bothy. The house and Bothy had been restored by the previous owners, so after a coat of paint and new furniture, it was ready for guests.
We have two dogs and love walking with them in our woodlands, at the coast and in the mountains. Karen volunteers with community groups and Neil collects whisky. He'll talk to you about it for hours if you let him!
We have the work/life balance we were looking for!
