1 / 24Tirriemore
Grantown-on-Spey, Highlands
A remote cottage for six on the banks of Lochindorb, facing a ruined island castle, with a Rangemaster kitchen and an enclosed garden, two dogs welcome.
Lochindorb has a ruined castle on an island in the middle of it, once a lair of the Wolf of Badenoch, and Tirriemore faces it from the northern bank. This is a four bedroom cottage for six alone on the moor with two dogs welcome, an enclosed garden, and the kind of dog friendly remoteness that makes the first hour feel like a decompression.
The open plan living space aims its big windows at the loch and the Cairngorms beyond, with a Rangemaster in the kitchen, a central dining table, and a utility for whatever the moor contributes to your boots. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms sleep six in comfort, and the garden gives the dogs an enclosed base camp between expeditions.
The nearest anything is a long way off, and that is the product: lapwings for an alarm clock, moorland walks from the doorstep, the loch circuit for the daily constitutional, and a sky with no competition after dark. Two dogs will annex the moor within a day.
Grantown on Spey is 10.5 miles for stores and dinners out, Aviemore and the Cairngorms' big days lie beyond, and the Reindeer Centre makes the strangest and best family outing in the park. The dogs, given the vote, would stay on the moor.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Tirriemore dog friendly?
Yes, Tirriemore welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage sits alone on the moorland beside Lochindorb, with an enclosed garden to give your dogs a safe base between walks, and open moorland and the loch circuit right on the doorstep.
Are dogs allowed at Tirriemore year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What's clear is that the setting — open moorland, a loch circuit, and big skies — makes it a compelling destination whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Tirriemore with my dog?
Up to two dogs are welcome, and the enclosed garden gives them somewhere secure when you're not out exploring. The cottage is genuinely remote — the nearest town, Grantown-on-Spey, is 10.5 miles away — so come well stocked, and be prepared for your dogs to take enthusiastically to the moor from day one.
