Cairngorm Bothies has launched a new offer tailored for the mountain biking community, positioning the unique, eco-friendly accommodation as the perfect base for exploring Royal Deeside’s extensive network of trails.
This new focus highlights the bothies’ appeal to riders looking for a comfortable retreat in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park.
The area is a well-known hub for mountain biking, home to the renowned and award-winning Tarland Trails and popular events like Ballater’s Thrive Festival from September 19th-21st. The off-grid, dog-friendly bothies are ideally located just a short distance from the festival and offer a restful space to unwind after a day experiencing the vibrant energy of the daily events at Thrive.
The Special Late Summer Offer includes a discounted rate on a three-night stay. To apply the discount, quote MTB10 on your direct bookings for stays between August and October 2025. This offer can also be applied for stays at Cairngorm Lodges.
Dr. Gordon Drummond, owner of Cairngorm Bothies, commented: “Royal Deeside offers a fantastic experience for mountain bikers of all abilities, and we love welcoming them to our bothies. We've equipped two of our bothies with secure storage and access to a shared bike and muddy paw wash station—so they can focus on enjoying the amazing trails and vibrant local events. The upcoming Thrive Festival is a fantastic example of the energy in our area, and we're ready to provide the perfect place to relax and recharge.”
The bothies provide a unique off-grid, dog-friendly experience without sacrificing comfort. With a cosy wood-burning stove and solar power, guests can truly unwind in a peaceful forest setting while remaining close to all the action in Ballater.
