Muckrach Country House Hotel is located within the Cairngorms National Park, which was created in 2003 to preserve the Cairngorms mountain range region. It is housed within a historic shooting lodge that was painstakingly restored by the hotel’s owners, preserving its Victorian character while adding upscale amenities such as a coffee shop and terrace bar. Standard guest rooms and suites offer flat screen televisions, iPod docks, private bathrooms, and living room areas, with common room and library areas offered for guest use. A full-service restaurant highlights seasonal cuisine and overlooks a conservatory and garden area on the hotel’s 10-acre grounds.
