Amazing stay in an amazing location

We lived the simplicity of the property and it's truly unique and peaceful location. Plenty of walks from the door and otherwise perfectly located for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland.

The hosts were really lovely and welcoming. We had a small problem and they rectified it immediately. We enjoyed our stay. Its perfect as a base to see the cairngorms, especially if you like peace and quiet. The cottage was immaculately clean.

Fabulous cottage

Located on its own track, this cottage is ideal for those who want peace and quiet but is an easy 5min drive from the shops on Grantown. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again.

Very peaceful location

If you want total peace and quiet then this cottage is a place to stay. Surrounded by fields and hills and mountains made it so beautiful. Unfortunately it was not very warm when we stayed but having a open fire made it feel so cosy. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the shop is only a short drive away.

Peace and quiet! The cottage is located a short drive from Grantown on Spey. The only sound to be heard was the sheep and the pheasants! Lovely walks outside the front door, and many things to see and do in the area. Lovely!

Beautiful cottage, totally off the beaten track. Despite the snow and the -15 temp, the cottage was warm and cosy and the open fire was an added bonus. Lots of great walking. An abundance of wildlife. Grantown-On-Spey is a lovely friendly place with a fantastic butchers, bakers and fish and chip shop. Scilla kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed and Tom, the caretaker, was around in case there were any problems, which there weren’t. We had a fantastic, relaxing week just walking the dogs and enjoying the area.

Stunning location & cosy cottage

I didn't want to go home after staying here and neither did my 2 teenagers which says a lot! The most amazing views and peace that you rarely experience anymore, only the birds singing, it was just perfect and only a 5 min drive to Grantown on Spey which had all the amenities required for a holiday. There is so much to do in the area as well, many walks from the door and so many beautiful places to visit. Such a cosy cottage, lovely and warm and plenty of logs supplied for the open fire. It is well equipped and the beds were very comfy. The only thing I can slightly pick at was the fact there were no hand towels, (maybe they'd just forgotten to put them out) I did manage to find one in the linen cupboard so it wasn't too bad!l We will definitely be returning to this absolute gem of a cottage but next time will bring bikes and maybe kayaks as we could have made good use of them in this amazing part of the country.

Perfekt, immer wieder!

Wir verlebten dort eine unvergessliche Woche. Weitab von Menschen waren wir im Wesentlichen nur mit Fasanen und Schafen zusammen. Das Haus ist komplett eingerichtet, auch die Küche. Tolle Betten. Da wir Mitte September dort waren, waren die Abende kühl und wir haben den offenen Kamin geliebt. Holz war reichlich vorhanden. WIFI stabil!!!! Der Weg in die Zivilisation ist nicht so leicht: schmaler, unbefestigter Landweg, der nach Regen auch noch sehr rutschig wurde. Aber alles kein Problem, solange man allein unterwegs war. Die Umgebung bietet SEHR viel Interessantes, z.B. Grantown, Ballindaloch (House+Garden), Highland Folk Museum, Speyside Centre. Wir würden sofort wieder hinfahren. Eine tolle und unvergessliche Woche. Danke Nigel.

Many thanks for your great review, we hope that we can hep you plan a return visit to the area in the future. Translation: We spent an unforgettable week there. Far away from people, we were mainly only with pheasants and sheep. The house is fully furnished, including the kitchen. Great beds. As we were there in mid-September the evenings were cool and we loved the open fire. Wood was plentiful. WIFI stable!!!! The way to civilization is not so easy: narrow, unpaved country road, which also became very slippery after rain. But no problem as long as you were traveling alone. There is a LOT of interest in the area including Grantown, Ballindaloch (House+Garden), Highland Folk Museum, Speyside Centre. We would go back in a heartbeat. A great and unforgettable week. Thank you Nigel

Schönes Cottage in ruhiger Lage

Einsam in wunderschöner Landschaft gelegenes Cottage, aber dennoch nahe an der sehr angenehmen Ortschaft Grantown und eingebettet in die Ausläufer der Cairngorms. Das von außen rustikale Cottage ist versehen mit allen Annehmlichkeiten der modernen Zivilisation und bestens ausgestattet.

Thank you for your review. Translation: Secluded cottage in beautiful countryside yet close to the very pleasant village of Grantown and nestled in the foothills of the Cairngorms. Rustic from the outside, the cottage has all the comforts of modern civilization and is well equipped.

Wonderful stay in a hidden gem

This was the perfect place, overviewing the valley. Whether the evenings by the fireplace or the glorious mornings, we really loved it. The house is the perfect size for 4 people and bare an electicity general shutdown when we arrived everything was great. Hidden gem.

This cottage ticked all our boxes. Secluded yet 10 minutes drive from the village Grantown on Spey. Open fire, nice shower, good beds, all the amenities you need after a days hike. We loved it!

An excellent week in this lovely property. The location is perfect, close enough to Grantown on Spey for groceries and shopping yet far enough away to feel complete isolation and enjoy the stunning 360 degree views. We absolutely love this area and this property was perfect for us.

Beautiful place, so peaceful, well worth a visit

We stayed here for a couple of nights in March 2020, the cottage is very remote and quiet with fantastic views. The place is well decorated, clean and tidy, and has everything you need. The owners were very easy to deal with, we found the place with no problems and really enjoyed our stay If you want peace and quiet and a picturesque highland retreat then this is the place to go We would highly recommend this place
