Looking for a base from which to explore the Strathspey area in October. Is there anywhere you'd recommend? I was thinking somewhere around the Boat of Garten or Nethy Bridge areas. Ideally sleeping no more than 4 people as there will only be two of us and if they have a garden which has birds, red squirrels and, if we're lucky, pine martens that would be awesome! Regards, Nicola.

Hi Nicola. Not quite what you asked for but others had reported Pine Martens in the garden at this property:

I stayed at this place (about a mile out of Nethy Bridge) through work for a few weeks last October-December: http://www.mondhuie.com/ Frequent Red Squirrels in the garden and Crested Tits on the feeders. They sometimes get Pine Marten - not sure how frequently and I didn't see any, though I wasn't looking that hard and it looks well-placed for them.

Lazy Duck is very nice http://lazyduck.co.uk/

Have stayed The Woodman's Hut and would thoroughly recommend it.
