Short Term Let Licence - HI 70714 - F EPC Rating B Guest access There is ample parking space for cars in the driveway. The garden is fenced and there are gates at the end of the driveway. Please note however that a small dog would be able to get under the fence at the front and sides of the garden. It's a short walk to Kingussie High Street, either down Ardvonie Road, or you can go through the gate at the back of the house and follow Gynack Road downhill to the High Street. Other things to note Watch out for the wildlife. Red squirrels are frequent visitors to the garden - they particularly like to scurry along the top of the fence - and sometimes deer will come close to the fence, especially at the back of the house. Rabbits visit, usually in the afternoons and evenings, and we've seen a pair of pheasants in the garden regularly this year.
