Six of us stayed in this lovely house for 10 days. It's centrally located for visiting the Highlands, various Castles en Gardens, the city of Inverness and Loch Ness, among other places. The trip to Balmoral Castle, through the Cairngorms, was phenomenal.Contact with the owners was very easy and friendly. We traveled with an electric car and there were plenty of EV chargers nearby, at the golf club which is within walking distance.

Great property, clean,well furnished.Very obvious hosts are proud of the house and do their utmost to make guests feel likewise. Our only downgrade - 9.5 out of ten - would be the back garden fence wasn’t dog proof and we had to keep our little Lizzy on the lead .Thanks once again ,Bill and Jean

Clean but had utility problems

The house is on the outskirts of Aviemore - very quiet, very clean and comfy beds. Very fast broadband and lots of hot water However Heating was inadequate and we had some miserably cold evenings. One night was so cold I struggled to sleep. The cooker was very slow and never got that hot - 45minutes to cook a handful of small potatoes. We could not get the TV to work. I rang the owner who was very responsive and said he would ask a neighbour to drop in to sort it or would ring back. No one came and the owner did not ring back. The flush in the cloakroom was a bit dodgy so to avoid problems we stuck to just using the main bathroom.

Aviemore

Aviemore is een plaats waar van waaruit je snel van de prachtige natuur kan genieten. Helaas is Aviemore zelf een weinig inspirerende plek. Het heeft geen ziel. Dat gold ook voor het huisje. Een goede plek om te verblijven maar weinig aansprekend.

Great Cottage in good neighbouhood and location

The cottage is very comfortable and good located in Aviemore. In 3 minutes you are in the center of Aviemore and in 15 at the basestation of Cairngorm Mountain. Simmie and Chris are very friendly and helpful. Special wishes regarding equipment and arrival time could be fulfilled. Thank you again.

Perfect Location

This is a great wee cottage in one of the best locations in Aviemore. As well as being 10 mins walk from the town centre along a beautiful safe path, you can leave the garden by the back gate, and you're 2 mins walk from MacDonald Spey Valley Resort with pool, bar restaurant etc. The bungalow is well appointed with 2 double rooms, and a triple kids room, one bathroom, a large living dining room, and separate kitchen. Outside there's a large garden front and back, with good quality seating area. Tumble dryer and chest freezer in the garage, and off street parking for 3 cars. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. If i was to criticise anything, thee carpet in living area looked a wee bit tired, and decor slightly dated, but really that's splitting hairs. Good sized TV with sky+, Free wifi with very fast connection, Plenty of hot water and a great shower all ensured we had a great time when it rained. Lastly Chris, the owner, bent over backwards to help us. We emailed him with a few enquiries, and he got back to us really promptly and found solutions. We will not hesitate to return, and would heartily recommend this bungalow.

Scott's House Aviemore

We stayed here in August 2010 and were pleased to find the house in a good location and in good condition. It is probably the best self catered accomodation we've ever stayed in. The house is well equipped and the bedrooms are quite spacious. Aviemore is a good base to work from because there is no shortage of things to do in the surrounding 50 miles or so. So long as you are prepared for the weather you should have a great time.
