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.

Lovely backyard

Well maintained property with a great backyard -we enjoyed having our dinners in the beautiful private green space in the backyard. The house was just right for our family of four. The host was very Prompt and friendly in her communication. The kitchen was well equipped. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Aviemore and Cairngorms.

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

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.

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.

Thank you for your review. I am deeply saddened to hear some of your feedback. Whilst you comment that we (the owners) were very responsive regarding your inability to switch the TV on, you didn't care to contact us about the heating. Why would someone stay in a house for 6 days with inadequate heating without seeking some assistance? There is new electric radiators which operate independently in every room, so within a second we could have explained how to press a switch! We sent you messages about the TV and there was no response so we assumed that you had been able to turn the TV on. The cooker is an induction hob and fully operational. We were up at the house testing everything ourselves which we do periodically, and everything was in fine order. We have a maintenance man on site when if contacted can rectify any issues which may come up as soon as is reasonably possible. This we make quite clear in our booking conditions. But I remember that you had not necessarily read through everything as I still had to resend directions to the property as you couldn't find them. We will try to do better!

Dirty floor, cuttlery, pans and plates. Took us 4 hours to clean everything. No compensation was offered for this. Spectacular view on Cairn Gorms offered were not there. Overall very disappointing.

Thank you for your review and we are somewhat surprised but will do all we can to continue to make improvements. Reviews before and after do not represent this feedback. From an owners pov, we offered immediately to send our caretaker back to the house to rectify any issues the guests had but this was declined. Nevertheless we will continue to take on board the comments and try to do better.
