Easy Escapes to the Highlands with the Week Enders Package
The Scottish Highlands are the perfect holiday destination for a quick weekend away. Characterful mountains, dreamy lochs and misty forests offer instant transportation into a world away from your own. With a whole host of incredible accommodation to choose in and around Aviemore, the only thing left to make your weekend as simple as possible is the food. And that’s where we come in!
Perfect for couples, groups of 2 - 4 and families, our Week Enders package is your food for the weekend delivered straight to your accommodation. With bookings for restaurants busier than ever in and around Aviemore, self-catered stays are the way forward, where you can take control of your meal times throughout your stay. If that sounds like a lot of effort, we agree - and that’s why we’ve created this special package. Continental breakfast, a sharing platter, a 2 course dinner menu and a 2 course supper included, all prepped ready to eat or heat, looking after you from your arrival Friday evening to Sunday morning.
Escape to the Highlands: for Couples
What better place in the UK than the Highlands for a weekend getaway that’s as adventurous as it is romantic?
Things to do in the Cairngorms for couples
Choose a fair weather night and take a walk around Loch Morlich. The paths are easy and the distance from Aviemore means you could see so many starts unspoilt by light pollution!
Take on a fun challenge together: go quadbiking at Rothiemurchus or have a go at something wild and extreme like canyoning!
Try a local tipple or two: we recommend gin-tasting at Kinrara for something a little different!
Our Week Enders package will be waiting for you at the end of your day, allowing you to make the most out of your precious time together. Our menus change per season and per what we’ve been inspired by recently, but you could be sharing a delightful charcuterie board of local meats and cheeses - pick up some wine for that one! - or taking in a romantic supper of chicken balmoral or Speyside trout or salmon.
Escape to the Highlands: for Groups
There are loads of fun ways to entertain yourselves as a group in and around Aviemore and the Cairngorms.
Take a hike! Easy walks are doable by driving up to Glenmore and taking some of the elevation out of your day! We recommend a visit to Ryvoan Bothy through beautiful forest trails and a picnic together by the Green Loch (Lochan Uaine).
Do a group activity: how about propelling a raft as a team for and shooting some whitewater rapids with G2 Outdoor.
With our Week Enders package, you won’t have to think about what to make for everyone at the end of the day - it’ll all be sorted for you! With options available for meat-eaters and vegetarians, we can provide something for all, whether it’s locally-sourced venison for a tasty stroganoff or our hearty take on a veggie moussaka.
Escape to the Highlands: for Families
The kids will never forget an adventure to the Scottish Highlands! From wildlife to mountain adventures and more, there’s plenty to entertain the whole family on a visit to Aviemore.
Things to do in the Cairngorms for families:
Go see the animals: there are so many incredible facilities to introduce young ones to the wonders of nature here, whether that’s a visit to the Reindeer Herd in Glenmore or seeing the different species being looked after at the Highland Wildlife Park.
For curious kids: take them to the Highland Folk Museum, which recreates scenes from early life in the Highlands
For teenagers, high ropes have to be the way to go - check out the Treezone just outside Aviemore centre!
Naturally, as a parent some of this might sound quite tiring! So take some of the stress and organisation out of your time away and let us provide all the food. For any fussy eaters, just let us know their requirements and we’ll be sure to cook up something to suit all. But kids are sure to love our dishes such as Mac and Greens - our extremely tasty mac n cheese recipe improved with plenty of healthy green veg - or treat them to something sweet such as our chocolate pots!
