Inside the National Park
Step-free ground-floor room
Cragmhor
Cragmhor is an artist's home, filled with warmth, character, and the spirit of a true country retreat. It offers a peaceful sanctuary where every room reflects the creativity of the artist whose work is displayed throughout the house, giving the space a unique sense of authenticity and calm.
This is a place to slow down and feel at home. Relax beside the cosy log-burning stove in the kitchen, or step out onto the decking with a cup of tea and take in the ever-changing mountain views. Wildlife is part of daily life here. You may spot deer moving quietly across the landscape, red squirrels in the trees, and birds gathering at the feeder. Swallows often sweep through the sky while birdsong fills the air.
Mornings sometimes arrive wrapped in soft mountain mist, adding to the sense that this is a true “thin place” — somewhere where nature, stillness, and a deeper sense of calm seem to meet. Here, time slows. You can simply sit, watch the mountains, listen to the birds, and breathe.
Three ways to stay
Room in the Mountains
A comfortable ground-floor double with quality bedding, ample storage and its own walk-in shower. The whole floor — bathroom included — is accessible, making it a genuine option for wheelchair users and guests with mobility needs.
Two-Bedroom Family Suite
Two upstairs rooms with king-size beds, private bathrooms and a three-seater sofa that doubles as a child's bed. Bright, spacious and quiet, with the best views across the meadows and mountains in the house.
Why book direct
No booking fee
Booking platforms add a guest service fee to every reservation. Come to us directly and that fee simply isn't there.
Talk to us
No call centre and no middleman. Your message comes straight to us, and we usually reply within the hour.
Flexible arrangements
Late arrival, an extra bed, breakfast questions, a private sauna in the glen — easier to sort out when you're speaking to the people who live here.
Live availability
The calendar on this site reads the same booking diary as every other platform, so what you see is genuinely free.
What guests say
★★★★★
There is the description in the advertisement (which is completely accurate), and then there is the experience.
Small details like a real flower in your room...coffee, tea, a house full of personal items that reflect the warmth of Shammi.
The house and the host felt like a warm embrace. I've arrived home and am taking the peace and warmth with me on my journey. ❤️

Great host and lovely garden! Saw deer, woodpeckers and a red squirrel out the window while having breakfast 🌱
Shammi was great and the house is in a gorgeous location, did a lovely cycle along the lake nearby .
Shammi replied
Dear Ema, it was pleasure having you both, take care.
★★★★★
We had a wonderful stay at Shammi's beautiful and peaceful home. The upstairs rooms are spacious, bright, and immaculate, with extremely comfortable beds and thoughtful touches throughout. The space is warm, well equipped, and ideal even for families with young children.
The garden and terrace offer stunning views over the meadows and mountains, creating a true sense of calm. Shammi is a caring and attentive host, and we would highly recommend this stay to anyone seeking comfort and tranquility!
