Welcome to Strathspey Staycations

Set in the heart of the Cairngorms on the Speyside Way, Cromdale Station is the perfect location for walking, skiing, outdoor pursuits, drives through incredible scenery, castle and distillery trails and much more - whilst also being close to towns such as Grantown and Aviemore for restaurants and amenities..
Further down the line in the popular village of Boat of Garten, we also have an early 20th century railway sleeper cottage with 3 bedrooms that can sleep 5 (or 6 including sofa bed). There you can visit the Strathspey railway and enjoy local walks and cycle rides in Deshar woods or visit the nearby Loch Garten (home to the RSPB centre). It is also a perfect base for exploring many outdoor activities and beautiful scenery around Aviemore and the Cairn gorm mountain.
