Glenbeg Bunkhouse and Bothy

Cairngorms National Park

Details

Located in a secluded rural spot at the top of the Glenbeg Estate and a couple of miles outside Grantown-on-Spey, our Glenbeg Bunkhouse and Bothy is the perfect place for a relaxing stay in traditional Scottish surroundings.

The Glenbeg Bunkhouse is a bright and airy converted farmhouse that sleeps up to 27 people over three rooms, two bunk-rooms of 11 and 12 beds each, and a cosier 4-bed room. The building acquires a cosy feeling all year round due to the double-glazing and central heating.

The downstairs features a large open-plan kitchen which is well equipped for group self-catering, and a common room with a range of seating to suit the requirements of the diverse groups using the space.

There is also one private bathroom and communal male and communal female bathrooms that give access to a sink, toilet and shower. After a day of exploring Scotland's vast landscapes or visiting the activity centre nearby, make use of the hanging and drying area for coats and footwear.

The Glenbeg Bothy is a converted steading offering snug and cosy accommodation across a single floor. The bunk-room sleeps six people comfortably, with a guest-bed also available if necessary. A spacious wetroom, suitably equipped to assist wheelchair users, adjoins the bunkroom. This accommodation is a great option for groups that include those with a disability, as there is level access and free parking outside the front door.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining area features at the opposite end of the building and includes a wood burner and central heating to warm up after your outdoor explorations.

We welcome a range of groups to our properties, from school residentials to stag and hen groups. The bunkhouse and bothy is in an excellent location at one end of the Snow Roads, and a convenient stop before hitting the North Coast 500, North East 250 or Malt Whisky Trail. For walkers and paddlers, the Speyside Way passes Grantown and is an ideal stopover for Spey descents.

Key Info

Your Hosts

Born in 2003 with a few canoes and lots of ambition, Sam and Rich created New Forest Activities from an old military hut on the Beaulieu River in Hampshire, England. Their mission has always been simple; to provide fun and enlightening experiences to people of all ages and abilities, to help them make the most of their time in the great outdoors.

As they expanded, so did their team of motivated and talented individuals, allowing them to take on a whole new venture in the Cairngorms National Park (when we say ambitious, we meant it!) And so, Cairngorms Activities was born.

We strive to provide honest information and appropriate environments to make your experience with us completely transparent, which we hope will create a valuable relationship with you, our providers and our associates.
