Easter Corrie

Easter Corrie holiday cottages nestle in a secluded glen on the Glenlivet Crown Estate at a height of one thousand feet. It's remote rural location in the Cairngorms National Park makes it an ideal getaway from the pressures of modern living.

People have lived at Easter Corrie for hundreds of years. For most of that time the inhabitants were subsistance farmers. More recently the Mill, Steading and original Farmhouse were converted to holiday accommodation for the enjoyment of visitors to Glenlivet and the Cairngorms.

The grounds at Easter Corrie are planted with native Scottish plants and others that have been specially selected for our conditions. They are all naturally adapted to our climate rendering watering and irrigation unnecessary. Large areas have been devoted to wildlife and Easter Corrie supports a thriving population of Field Vole as well as Bank Vole, Common Shrew, Pygmy Shrew and Wood Mouse. Keen observers may even spot Stoat or Brown Hare in the early morning, whilst everyone will enjoy watching many avian visitors to our bird feeders.

Easter Corrie's secluded glen

We believe that Easter Corrie is a special place and worth taking care of for future visitors to enjoy too. We have therefore equipped our self catering cottages to enable you to enjoy your holiday here in the knowledge that your stay will have the minimum negative impact on this beautiful area.

Our crystal clear water is drawn from an underground spring high on the side of Carn Liath. After use it passes through a natural purification process before rejoining the ground water below the cottages. We provide cleaning materials for your use that will not harm this process.

Our cottages are heated electrically to enable us to take advantage of more environmentally sensitive energy sources such as wind or wave power, as they come online. Overnight storage heaters minimise our impact on electrical generation capacity. Low energy lighting is used throughout and other energy saving facilities such as showers, microwave ovens and dishwashers are also available.

We have recycling facilities for glass, cans, paper and cardboard. Organic materials such as kitchen waste are composted at Easter Corrie for use on the gardens.
