Crubenbeg Holiday Cottages is only 1 mile from the stone marking the geographic centre of Scotland and close to both the A9 north/south arterial road and its east-west counterpart, the A86. This makes Crubenbeg the perfect base from which to explore the almost unlimited range of walks and hikes available in the local and wider Highland area. The number one site for information on walks in the Highlands is www.walkhighlands.co.uk.
We are more than happy to provide you with maps, routes and guidance.
Drying out and storing your kit at the end of each day is no problem; we have good facilities for both.
