Perfect Homestay

9 of us booked for a stag do in May. For me, the accommodation was perfect. Plenty of rooms, activities and facilities were top. Amazing views in a quiet and peaceful area. Definitely will book this again in the future. Hard to find anything in all honesty. Faultless in all our opinions.

A home away from home

We stayed in the Carriden for the weekend. The house is beautifully presented with lots of charm and character. It is well located in the village of Insh. There are plenty of walks around the area. It’s just a 5-10 minutes drive to the Insh loch where there are plenty of water sports to choose from. The whole family enjoyed staying at Carriden. Our little spaniel spent the whole weekend happily running around in the garden. -

Fabulous plac!

Such a brilliant home for a family weekend away. 10 of us gathered to celebrate a special birthday and had such a lovely time. The home has such a lovely atmosphere. Just noticed that the shower in upstairs en-suite maybe needs resealed. It wasn’t a problem at all for us but just to flag!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was second to none, the amenities were faultless, we didn’t take sugar but there was some there. The facilities were very good apart from my bedroom on the ground floor, I am unsteady on my legs and could not sit down to do my hair and make up and also the stairs to the lounge (maybe a small slope instead of stairs, this is only a suggestion for those in wheelchairs, but I know it would be challenging to install). The rooms were immaculate, however the sinks in the kitchen need a deep clean around plug holes and dead flys need to removed from window sills in games room. Outside there was no blue box for cardboard. Many thanks to the owners they should be extremely proud of their achievement. I hope you accept my feedback.
