Great property and facilities with a thoughtful welcome pack, comfy beds for a good nights sleep and a lovely location, with pheasants and red squirrels visiting the garden. Really enjoyed our stay and will return in the future
The cottage is beautiful, very clean and very well equipped.
The views from the windows and garden are absolutely wonderful and the surrounding area is beautiful.
Great holiday home in an amazing place. Red squirrels, hares, pheasants and red legged partridges in the garden kept us all on watch and beautiful starry night skies.
The property was amazing and very spacious.
Property finished to a very high standard. Everything you would want for a self catering holiday. Great location with breathtaking views. Would love to visit again.
The property was perfect with everything you could possibly want. The location is wonderful and the scenery breathtaking. I cannot recommend this property enough and will definitely book again when we come back to Scotland.
This is one of the very best properties we have ever stayed at. Glorious location with wonderful views of the hills and red squirrels and red grouse outside our windows. Excellent help from the owners starting with a fantastic welcome pack. Very comfortable if every way.
We had a brillant time here. The location is great, nature is all around, it’s very peaceful.
The cottage is very cosy, very well refurbished.
Stewart and Liz have been very kind, they provided us with milk, cereals, eggs, bacon ... for our first breakfast (we really appreciated the gesture), they made sure everything was alright for us, excellent hosts, thank you !
Stayed three nights at this fantastic property with family. The accommodation is beautifully presented & very well equipped with everything you need. The welcome pack upon arrival is a lovely touch by the hosts. The setting is perfect with great views across the hills. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely lovely—perfect space for all of us, very well kept and comfortable. Such a beautiful setting! We enjoyed the pheasants and red squirrels! Thank you so much!
This property is excellent. We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect in every way. The views were stunning and the house itself was beautiful. Very well done and to a high standard. It has everything you need and more. We will definitely be back.
Our family of five had a very enjoyable stay in a part of Scotland where the scenery is just gorgeous. The accommodation was equally impressive and provided ample space for us all during our stay. To add to the comfort we all really appreciated our welcome pack of goodies, thanks to Stewart and Liz. We would certainly consider staying here again in the future.
Could not fault the accomodation. Nice touch with bread, eggs,bacon supplied. Very clean, well fitted out and in a fabulous location. Comfy beds and good sized rooms. Lots of wildlife on the doorstep and lovely patio area to enjoy . Unfortunately the weather stopped us doing that! Definitely recommend
Stunning location, great and very comfortable facilities
The self-contained house has three very comfortable bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities. It is thoughtfully and stylishly furnished throughout and the kitchen is well equipped. The living room offers great views and is good for watching the abundant local wildlife. The local area, just outside the Cairngorms national park, has much to offer. The host was very welcoming and communication was clear and easy.
The property was well kept, charming, relaxing, well appointed, and had a beautiful view. In our three weeks traveling through Scotland, this was by far our favorite stay. Communication with Stewart was easy and responsive. Definitely recommend.
Hidden gem with spectacular views and prestine cleanliness
The gem of a cottage surpassed our expectations. The stunning views were even better in reality than the website photos. Impeccably clean throughout.
The welcome pack was an ice touch, and the sight of red squirrels and rabbits added charm. A tranquil retreat, this cottage offers a wonderful slice of beautiful Scotland. I can't wait to return.
