Lovely cottage. Very well equipped. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful setting with plenty of local walks. A number of great places to visit just a short drive away including the steam railway at Aviemore, the Wildlife Park and The Heritage Centre. Excellent communications with the hosts.

Great location, tranquil but not isolated. Many varied walks from the door allowed us to avoid using the car. Perfect if you are interested in wildlife as there were plenty of birds visiting the garden, not to mention red squirrels.

Very pet friendly, the dogs love watching the squirrels and birds out of the window. We bought bird food to feed the birds and it’s worth it to see them all. Instructions in the cottage v clear. We have been before and the walks in the area are v good and it didn’t disappoint.

A very nice place to chill out

The house is located in a very beautiful place. Very clean with all the facilities, spacious bedrooms and kitchen/ living room. We weren’t lucky to see all the wildlife except the birds and the company of the red squirrel. We spent a lovely week with our friends and we had the access to beautiful landscapes and day trips around the area. Highly recommended.”

Sublime

An absolute gem of a place if you like peace, biking endlessly from the door and fabulous wildlife. There’s plenty to do in the wider area, but we only got in our van once (paddle boarding on nearby loch Insh) with so much biking access to Glen Feshie and it’s surrounding area. The owner was incredibly responsive and great to deal with too. Already booked to return.
