Glentruim Gate Lodge
Resort overview

Set on the edge of the Estate lies the charming Gate Lodge Cottage. This characterful and cosy holiday property has been sensitively renovated to a high standard creating a warm and tasteful rural retreat for a holiday in Scotland.

The lodge, with its wood burning stove and basket of estate cut logs, is a comfortable and welcoming room to return to after a day’s outing and activities.

The spacious kingsize bedroom and pretty twin bedroom sleep 4 and both tempt you to relax and unwind while the large bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower offer a place to soak weary limbs after a day in the hills.

This historic Castle and Estate is situated near the confluence of the Rivers Spey and Truim, 3 miles south of the village of Newtonmore, at the southern gateway to the Cairngorm National Park – Britain’s largest National Park.

Claimed to be the location of the geographical heart of Scotland, you will be greeted and looked after throughout your stay with truly warm Highland hospitality.

The estate lies amidst some of the finest countryside in Scotland and is an ideal base from which to sample the many attractions and activities the area has to offer. There are great opportunities for traditional Highland field sports such as grouse and pheasant shooting, salmon and trout fishing - guests have free access to over 4 miles of fishing on the River Spey and some 3 miles on the River Truim, while holidaying on the estate. The River Truim is actually the subject of a classic book by John Inglis Hall, “Fishing A Highland Stream”.

In addition, the area is renowned for a number of famous deer forests and moors which provide excellent red deer stalking. There is also a great variety of outdoor recreational pursuits to be enjoyed in this part of Inverness-shire – everything from the energetic to the more sedate, including: winter sports at Cairngorm Mountain, Aonach Mor at Fort William, and the Lecht; hill walking in the Cairngorm and the Monadhliath Mountains; climbing on the rugged rocky crags and steep back walls of the many corries in the surrounding mountains; golfing at some of Scotland’s most picturesque courses; watersports on the many lochs and rivers in the valley; bird watching at the RSPB’s Insh Marshes Nature Reserve – the most important area of floodplain wetland in Britain – and see the Ospreys at Loch Gartern Reserve; photography.

There is also history a plenty – from Iron Age hill forts to magnificent castles, with the award winning The Highland Folk Museum here on our doorstep in Newtonmore. If whisky is your interest, then this area is heaven! Dalwhinnie Distillery is just 3 miles along the road, and with the famous River Spey flowing past the estate, we can boast of being at the southern end of the Speyside Whisky Trail, where many of the world’s most famous malts are produced, and where many scenes for "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and "The Angel's Share" were filmed.
