Heath Cottage was built in 1997 and we have been running it as a holiday rental ever since. A bright and spacious property in a perfect location, Heath Cottage is especially popular with families. Away from the main road yet right in the centre of the village, the back garden leads directly into the splendid walks and bike trails of Deshar Woods. Shop, pub and restaurants are all within a 5 minute
stroll and the surrounding villages of Aviemore, Nethybridge and Carrbridge can be reached easily by car, bike or foot. Our own connections with the area go back to 1982 when Heather accompanied her folks (Mel and Letti) on a road trip up from Glasgow to view a guest house that was for sale in Boat of Garten. Attracted by the unusual name of the village as well as the opportunity for a complete change of lifestyle, they moved in to run Moorfield House Hotel and never looked back. Boat of Garten became a second home for us for the next 30 years: we were the ‘back up team’ running the hotel for short periods through the 80s, we got married in the village in October 1989, and our children spent their school summer holidays here. Knowing and loving this area as we do, it was an easy decision to move up permanently in 2015 and we now live just a mile from the village - so we're on hand when needed.
