Close to River Dee and overlooking Braemar Castle

Situated in a stunning south-facing location close to the River Dee, and overlooking Braemar Castle and the Grampian Mountains, Inverchandlick has been renovated and refurbished to provide self-catering accommodation for up to six people. This former ferryman's cottage is approached by a long, private track through Invercauld Estate: whilst 4x4s are not essential, sports-type cars are not recommended, and in the winter access can be difficult due to snow.

The area is at the very heart of the Cairngorms National Park and is perfect for enjoying a wide variety of pursuits, from historic castle visits and touring through the magnificent Deeside scenery, to many outdoor activities for the more energetic: walking, skiing, golfing and fishing all being within close range. Salmon fishing in season is available in the pools directly in front of the cottage and is included in the rental, and more information about fishing on the Dee can be found on www.fishdee.co.uk. Wildlife, including deer, red squirrels, and grouse, abounds and can be seen regularly from the cottage.

The picturesque villages of Braemar, Ballater and Aboyne are ideal for a little gentle shopping in the many unusual gift shops and galleries, and most of the restaurants remain open throughout the year.
