Ptarmigan Cottage – Accessible Rural Cottage Aviemore

Ptarmigan Cottage has been carefully designed to ensure comfort, ease, and inclusivity for guests with mobility needs, without compromising on style or luxury. This recently built, VisitScotland 3-star graded property offers step-free access on the ground floor, creating a spacious and accessible environment for wheelchair users, guests with limited mobility, or families travelling with elderly relatives.

The cottage features two ground-floor twin bedrooms, one of which is ideally located next to a fully accessible wet room. This thoughtfully designed space includes a level-access shower, grab rails, a shower seat, and an accessible WC, offering a safe and convenient setup for guests requiring additional support. The wide doorways and open-plan layout of the dining and sitting area make it easy to move around freely, and the level threshold patio doors open directly onto a flat, decked area—perfect for enjoying the fresh Highland air and scenic surroundings.

Inside, the underfloor heating provides consistent comfort throughout the ground floor, including the wet room, and the overall layout ensures smooth transitions from room to room. The utility room is easily accessible, and all essential amenities—including kitchen appliances, storage, and seating—have been arranged to ensure a relaxed and independent stay for all guests.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers a peaceful, wheelchair-friendly outdoor space with opportunities to spot visiting red squirrels, birds, and deer. Parking is available close to the entrance, making unloading and access simple, and the cottage is situated just off a quiet single-track road for a tranquil, safe setting.

Whether you’re planning a nature-inspired escape, an accessible adventure in the Cairngorms, or simply seeking a beautiful retreat where everyone can relax and feel at home, Ptarmigan Cottage delivers both comfort and convenience in one of Scotland’s most breathtaking locations.
