Peaceful Cosy 'home-from-home' Drumguish by Kingussie

Our stay was absolutely perfect.

Nice surroundings, beautiful environment.

Had small issue with a key, this was solved by the owner in seconds.

Not our last stay for sure

An excellent location for wildlife watching with Red Squirrels in the garden daily, up to 5 individuals and several bird species; including Jays, Coal Tits, Siskins and a Sparrowhawk. Very quiet and pretty surrounded by Pines and Larch trees.

Well situated for exploring the local area with Aviemore and Cairngorm only about 20 - 30 mins drive away.

The house itself was comfortable and once the storage heaters got going was nicely warm; the shower was adequate but the temperature went up and down which wasn't ideal.

The kitchen was well stocked, the only downside being very old and worn frying pans which need replacing.

In summary, the location for us was the selling point, being on the edge of some woodland and with a lovely wild garden with unkempt grass etc. something i adore.

Absolutely loved this house. Charming house, well equipped, location was exactly what we were looking for. kind of in the middle of nowhere but only a short drive from Kingussie where the Co Op met all our shopping needs, we cooked and ate at the house for the most part. Walks from right outside the house in every direction. Our favorite was accessed at the bridge onto the RSPB marshes right beside a roaring piece of river...beautiful!

The property was very comfortable and well located. The instructions to find it were not very clear. It took us some time to find it. The bridge wasn't named, even on Google maps, and the distillery sign was not obvious. The road to the property was very uneven, we had to drive very slowly to avoid the ruts and stones and were quite worried about the car grounding on it.

However, we thoroughly enjoyed the location, with walks in several directions and the fact that birds, squirrels etc were easy to see from the large windows.. The RSPB hides were numerous and well used.

The cottage was very spacious and was very well equipped.

There were several local shops for food etc. and it was well located for several attractions.

Just one thing we have never come across before and have stayed in several cottages over the years, was the fact that we were charged a £200 deposit to cover electricity use and breakages. This has always been included in the price, which was not cheap! In fact, several cottages we have stayed in have had welcome packs, one including a bottle of wine and chocolates, another a large bunch of flowers.

Liked the secluded and quiet location and seeing the birds around the feeders every morning. Ideal location for walks and getting the train to different locations. The house was a little cold when we arrived and took a while to get warm but apart from that no complaints. Beds were comfortable too and the kitchen was well equipped. Would stay there again.
