The house was perfect for our party. It was spotless, well equipped and in the most beautiful location. The host was quick to communicate about any questions and was really generous with her time before our stay, offering great recommendations for the area. We hope to return soon!
Louise
Quite remote which suited us. Games room was a great addition and owner was quick to respond when we had a minor issue. The kitchen is well equipped and very warm thanks to the aga. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of chairs for everyone.
Robin
The house itself is very comfortable, the kitchen facilities excellent, the games room entertaining, but the crowning glory is the ever changing views of the Cairngorms. I would love to return as would my geographically spread family. Only question why ask us to bring tea towels?! There are plenty.
