Located in a secluded rural spot at the top of the Glenbeg Estate, a couple of miles outside Grantown-on-Spey, & from our activity centre, our Glenbeg Bunkhouse is a light, bright and airy converted farmhouse that sleeps up to 27 people over three rooms, two bunk-rooms of 11 and 12 beds each, and a cosier 4-bed room. The building is double-glazed and central heated throughout, and as such is extremely cosy year-round. There is also a 4-bed summerhouse beside the bunkhouse which is used spring to autumn to offer additional beds for slightly larger groups.
Downstairs is a large open-plan kitchen – well equipped for group self-catering – and dining / common room area, with a range of tables and seating to suit the requirements of how different groups choose to use the space. Bathroom facilities – one private bathroom and communal male and communal female bathrooms – give access to sink, toilet or shower on a minimum of a 1:5 basis. There is also a hanging and drying area for coats & footwear.
Entertainment-wise, other than the glorious setting to enjoy, books and games are provided, as is a flatscreen TV/DVD for the playing of DVDs and plugging in your Wii, Playstation or Xbox – please note that we deliberately choose to have no TV reception – and a radio/CD/MP3 player. There is a small stock of CDs & DVDs, but feel free to bring your own aswell.
For walkers & mountain bikers, you couldn’t be better placed to get straight out on to the paths & trails of the Glenbeg & adjoining Lochindorb estates, as well as the start of the Dava Way around 1.5 miles away.
Prices vary from £15.50 to £22.50 per person per night, dependent upon the number of people in your group and duration of stay, on a self-catering / own bedding basis. All in all, there can’t be many better bases in the Cairngorms for a large group.
Glenbeg Bothy is a converted steading offering snug and cosy accommodation across a single floor. Parking right outside the front door and level access make it a good option for groups that include those with a disability, including wheelchair users. The bunk-room sleeps six people, with a guest-bed also available if necessary. There is also a 4-bed summerhouse that can be used spring to autumn to give a few extra beds for groups that are too big for the bothy, but not big enough for the bunkhouse
A spacious wetroom, suitably equipped to assist wheelchair users and others with disabilities, adjoins the bunkroom. The well-equipped kitchen and dining area is at the other end of the building and includes a wood burner for cosy evenings. The bothy is centrally heated.
Entertainment-wise, other than the glorious setting to enjoy, a selection of books and games are provided, as is a flatscreen TV/DVD for the playing of DVDs and plugging in your Wii, Playstation or Xbox – we deliberately choose to have no TV reception – as well as a radio/CD/MP3 player. There is a small supply of DVDs, but feel free to bring more of your own as as your favourite CDs and/or MP3 player.
Glenbeg Bothy is perfect for smaller groups, particularly families and friends, but can also be used in combination with the Glenbeg Bunkhouse to accommodate larger groups, particularly when there is a requirement for separate sleeping areas for boys and girls, and male and female group leaders.
Pricing for the Bothy ranges from £18 to £22.50 per person per night, dependent upon the number of people in your group and duration of stay, on a self-catering / own bedding basis.
