Enjoy a new quiet modern self-catering 2 person ensuite ecopod in Glentruim, Laggan, near Newtonmore in Monarch of the Glen Country and the Cairngorms National Park. Within 10 mins of Cycle Route 7, A9, A86 and A889. A rural setting with hens and ducks wandering about and wildlife all around. The ecopod is in a quiet corner of our smallholding, 30m from the end of our cottage, in lovely beech trees, home to red squirrels and with fast Wifi, Netflix & movies. You can see the stars at night.

We built the ecopod in 2019 in an idyllic spot at the end of a private track. We are 500m off the East Highland Way Glentruim option for walking from Laggan to Newtonmore. National Cycle Route 7 runs beside the A9 just 1 mile from the cottage. We are 4 miles south of Newtonmore, 20 miles from Aviemore, midway between the Cairngorm and the Nevis Range ski areas and 7 miles from the Wolftrax Mountainbike Centre.

Inverness, Fort William and Perth are about an hour's drive.

The ecopod is ideally located for the scenic areas, heritage and history, and outdoor activities in the Cairngorms National Park for all ages (see visitcairngorms.com). For wonderful photos of places in our community visit 'pics' in laggan.com The Highland Folk Museum (free entry, donations welcome) and Highland Wildlife Park (with 4 polar bears) are close by. As we are located in the geographic centre of the Scottish mainland we are ideally placed for touring further afield.
