Newtonmore has several options for eating out if you don't want to cater for yourselves. A favourite of ours is The Letterbox restaurant serving delicious, freshly prepared food by a local chef. Plus, it's just a short walk from Steading 5.

Serving Up Summer: Strawberries & Pimm’s Onboard our Heritage Train

Step into the golden age of travel and celebrate the British summer in timeless style. As the whistle blows and we steam* through the breathtaking landscapes along our Heritage line, indulge in the ultimate seasonal treat. Relax in our recently restored Restaurant Car with a refreshing glass of Pimm’s and a bowl of fresh, hand-picked strawberries topped with fresh cream. It’s the perfect match of nostalgic charm and summer indulgence.

Setting off from Platform 3 at Aviemore station, through to Boat of Garten and on to Broomhill, the railway takes you on a twenty-mile round trip along part of the original Highland Railway mainline. As the train passes moorland, through woods and alongside the meandering River Spey, stunning Cairngorm Mountains scenery is ever-present. Join us for a nostalgic journey and savour the sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era.
