Christmas is a time for giving and sharing special moments with the people we love. Instead of giving more things this year, why not gift something more meaningful—a chance to relax, recharge, and make memories in the beautiful Cairngorms National Park?
Avielochan Cottages are set in a gorgeous spot where nature takes centre stage. While we’re closed over the winter months, spring and summer bring fresh life to the area. Booking a stay with us is like giving someone time—time to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with the people who matter most.
A Place to Relax
The Cairngorms in spring and summer are full of life. In spring, wildflowers bloom, birds return, and the countryside comes alive after winter. By summer, the long days mean plenty of time for exploring—walking in the hills, cycling through forests, or just sitting by Loch Vaa with a picnic.
At Avielochan, you can start the day with a coffee while watching the sunrise over the loch and end it by spotting wildlife or enjoying a peaceful evening by the fire. It’s a place where time feels slower, where you can truly relax and unwind.
A Thoughtful Present
Some of the best gifts aren’t things—they’re experiences. Time spent together, moments of peace, or the chance to explore somewhere new can be more special than anything wrapped under the tree.
If you’re looking for a gift that feels personal and meaningful, a stay at Avielochan Cottages could be just the thing. Whether it’s for family, friends, or even yourself, it’s a chance to look forward to spring or summer surrounded by the beauty of the Cairngorms.

However you spend the festive season, we hope it’s filled with peace, joy, and moments to treasure. And when the warmer months come around, we’d love to welcome you back to the Cairngorms.
