travellers' tales
Our hosts Simon and Fiona advised us as amateur birdwatchers to visit a local site. The visit proved successful when we saw a golden eagle - a first for us, and also a herd of wild deer. (more)

how this holiday makes a difference
 Our Cairngorms bed & breakfast accommodation has been awarded Gold standard in the Scottish Green Tourism Business Scheme. We were the first B&B or Guest House within the Cairngorms National Park to reach this level. This recognises the efforts that we go to reduce our impact on the local community and wider environment. These measures include our extensive use of organic and Fair Trade produce, only using eco cleaning products, using energy saving light bulbs, purchasing A+, A & B energy rated appliances and supporting our local suppliers. We reduce our waste to the extent of having 7 compost bins and recycling/reusing all the items that we can – plastic bottles make excellent water feeders in the veg patch and bird feeders in the garden. If you arrive by train or coach we will collect you in our eco friendly Toyota Prius, just one of our on going contributions to reduce our overall impact to the environment. Part of the garden of our Cairngorms bed & breakfast accommodation is a wildlife area where we have planted some bulbs and sown wild flower seeds, and are now just leaving it for nature. There are rotting logs and old house ridge tiles to create habitation for insects to live in. In our vegetable garden we grow whenever possible, plants from organic seeds and use organic methods in our gardening and we hope to eventually be certified organic. While a guest at our Cairngorms bed & breakfast accommodation you can take many walks or bike rides right from the door, walk on the way marked paths, enjoy the climb through the Black Wood to see the Dun Da Lamh (Pictish Fort) with the amazing views down the 2 glens, or take the easy forest path to the abandoned village of Druim an Aird. Every responsibletravel booking has the choice of a free gift of “A Bag for Life” or an “Energy Bulb” as part of our new drive to promote responsible living. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
