About Us

Coig na Shee offers bed and breakfast accommodation that we'd want to stay in ourselves. This means getting everything right, and also by paying attention to the smallest detail, such as crisp white bed linen, huge cosy towels, pampering toiletries, leaf and herbal teas, fresh coffee with a cafetière.

Coig na Shee

It's impossible to be totally sure of the origins of our name, but - thanks to local lore - here's our best shot. 'Shee' derives from 'sithein', Gaelic for 'fairy hill', and 'Coig' means 'five' or a fifth - an ancient way of dividing up land - Coig na Shee, a ' fifth of a fairy hill'.

Your Hosts

Marion and Graeme  welcome you Coig na Shee and the village of Newtonmore. Marion is originally from Edinburgh, and Graeme from Brisbane, Australia. Returning to Scotland in 2006 after several years downunder, they found and fell in love with Coig na Shee and the Highlands.  Together with our son, Finlay, and our friendly dog 'Archie', we look forward to having you to stay.

Food

There are numerous places to eat out in the area, from here in Newtonmore and Kingussie and further afield.  At the time of booking, we will send out a list of suggestions from cafes, pubs and restuaurants.   Although we are not a restaurant ourselves, we can offer dinner for large groups by prior arrangement. Coig na Shee can also be booked as 'exclusive use' for your special event such as birthday weekend or family/friends get togethers.
