Great accommodation and would recommend.

Liked: Excellent hosts, very clean accommodation, food was lovely, enjoyed the breakfast each day and the cake and scones on arrival were fantastic. Nice little touch to have cake in the room as well. Location was very good.

A gateway to the Cairngorms,...

Liked: A fantastic base of operations for exploring the Cairngorms. Conveniently located only 30 mins drive from Aviemore, 40 mins from Pitlochry, and just a few minutes from the foot of the Monadhliath Mountains — a great empty area of wilderness to the north of Newtonmore perfect for practicing orienteering or just getting a rest from the crowds.There is a hotel in the village where you can get food and a few pints after a long day on the hills, as well as a truck stop that also does food. There is a little Co-op in the village also to stock up on food, alcohol, tobacco, etc.Dower House itself is an old manor house beautiful inside and out. There is a lounge filled with books and board games, in case the weather turns and you need to stay in for the day.The hosts are all round wonderful people. We felt extremely welcome and, frankly, I don't understand other reviewers who are annoyed by the fact that they were told to take their boots off. It's just common sense. Muddy mountain equipment stays outside. We never felt inconvenienced.There is an option to get breakfast in the morning and the hosts also make lunch and dinner on order. I highly recommend this option as the food is top quality and beautifully prepared. Our one regret is that we haven't tried more dinners. We still talk about the Sunday roast and how delicious it was with the wine and berry jus.To conclude, a convenient location ran by wonderful humans. Highly recommended.

Liked: We had the BEST stay at the Dower House! It is a beautiful property, and Eric and Lynda were terrific hosts - helpful and very warm. They had great suggestions for hikes and drives, and really helped us make the most of our stay. Also, the breakfasts were phenomenal. Eric bakes his own bread, and the cooked breakfasts have a personal touch that I haven't seen anywhere else. To anyone visiting the Highlands, I would highly recommend staying at the Dower House. We will certainly return!

Heaven in the highlands :)
