About the home
The property, newly built in 2004 in the form of a signal box, is adjacent to the station in the Badenoch & Strathspey village of Newtonmore. To make the most of the panoramic views towards the River Spey and Cairngorm Mountains, the accommodation is upside down, with a spacious, open plan living area on the first floor, while on the ground floor is a double bedroom and bathroom with sauna. Decorated to a high standard, this charming property is in an ideal location to explore the village (featured in Monarch of the Glen), and take advantage of the walking in the area. The cottage is 150 metres from a link into the Wildcat Trail - a 7km orbital walk and path network. The other attractions of the Cairngorms National Park are also within easy reach - an excellent base at any time of year!

The Scottish Highlands region
The area may seem familiar as you wander around, as it was the setting for the popular TV series “Monarch of the Glen”. Newtonmore's 'Wildcat Trail' is a 7-mile popular circular walk around the edge of the village, taking in the River Spey with woodland, moorland and wonderful views across the valley to the Cairngorms, and behind the village to the Monadhliath mountains - a fitting introduction to the delights of the National Park.
The Newtonmore area
Overlooking the River Spey, in the Cairngorms National Park, Newtonmore has several shops and pubs, as well as the Newtonmore Craft Centre and two excellent, award-winning museums. The area offers fine golf, fishing, pony trekking, walking, bird-watching, cycling, mountain-biking, climbing and skiing, making it an ideal base from which to discover all that this scenic area of Scotland has to offer.

Guestbook for 1304 - Signal Box
The location of the Signal Box was fantastic! So much to see in the area and although on the train line, trains are infrequent and an enjoyable distraction. The accommodation was to a fantastic standard. We didn't want to leave! Little touches like chocolate cake, milk and flowers on arrival are also appreciated.

,The overall standard of this property was one of the highest we have come across.

,The holiday was fantastic! Everyone was so nice! The little touches like the bottle of fizz, balloon and chocolate cake were much appreciated, not to mention the pint of milk! Top marks!

,I loved the warm welcome we received from the owner and the kind thought of leaving a cake for us. We were informed of exactly where we could get hold of owner if needed. Lots of information was left for us regards places to eat and visit.
