Pilmuir

Pilmuir is a family owned cottage which was extensively refurbished to an excellent standard during 2007 and 2008 and the following pictures provide a flavour of what Pilmuir has to offer.

 LIVING ROOM

The living room has fantastic panoramic views over the Cairngorm mountain range.   The wood burning stove has been relocated to this room, during which time we discovered this open fireplace. We hope you agree it is a great feature to Pilmuir and definitely provides a warm homely feel.  The dinning area, kitchen and living room are open plan

.

Looking out the window you can often see red deer, ospreys flying past from the local Osprey centre and indeed the steam and smoke from the Strathspey Steam Railway.  It's a great view for distracting children and for the adults it's great to sit looking out the window.  The dinning table sits 8 in the conservatory area at the rear of the living area and has a garden and paddock view.  There is sky TV with a 32" screen, a video and dvd machine as well as a radio/cd/cassette machine.  In the front hall there are some children's toys, board games and cards whilst in the living room cupboards you may even find remote control mini's for your convenience.

KITCHEN

The traditional but modern farmhouse open kitchen is fitted with all mod con's such as a Russell Hobbs microwave, a fridge and freezer, dish washer, slow cooker, toaster, whistling kettle and a dual fuel combined range cooker.  The cooker has 5 gas rings, a grill, a fan assisted oven and a conventional oven and is thus ideal for large families or groups of people.  In the cupboards there is everything from a blender, coffee machine through to plates for BBQ and children.  As can be seen in the picture , there is a table with two stools in the kitchen, but the key for us is that it's easy to interact with those in the living area, so there is a joy about being in the kitchen cooking

BEDROOMS

 The pictures show the downstairs double and the twin bedroom upstairs, which has great panoramic views from the front of the house.  All the rooms at the front of the house have comfy window seats and the bedrooms are fully equipped with drawers, water carafes, hanging space and dressing table.  Upstairs there is a further double bedroom which has a cot bed and a single bedroom which overlooks the back garden.  The twin and double bedroom both have wooden shutters.  The bedroom downstairs is a spacious double with television and is beside the shower room.  For those with young children there is a high chair, baby bath, stair gates, fire guard and a playpen along with steriliser and plastic plates and drinking cups.

SEATING AREA

The upstairs hall provides a fantastic view point with views across the valley and Cairngorms. There are two comfy seats with lights, a selection of books and magazines on a shelf along with a window seat.

SHOWER ROOM AND BATHROOM

Upstairs Bathroom		Downstairs Shower Room

The upstairs bathroom was completely replaced with a shower, bath, toilet and sink.  The towel radiator is a luxury for when you get out the bath and wrap up in a nice warm, fluffy towel.  The bathroom has views over the back of the house.  Downstairs there is a shower, toilet and sink which is conveniently accessible for those located on the ground floor.  If you or a friend/relative finds it hard to climb stairs the downstairs facilities are ideal and near to the double bedroom
