We had a special week at Drum Cottage. It is located remotely in a truly magical setting. The cottage was spotlessly clean on our arrival, beds are super comfy with crisp fresh linens, and fluffy towels. We saw red squirrels, buzzards, a red kite, and lots of birds in the garden. When we had a small issue, the housekeeper was very prompt to respond and it was resolved quickly which was excellent. I’d highly recommend a stay here, beautiful cottage, glorious setting with incredible views.
We all had a terrific time at Muckrach house as it is such a wonderful place. Decoration is fantastic, facilities outstanding and the beds were super comfortable. There were 6 children with us and they didn’t want to leave. All in all, we thoroughly the house.
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in Scotland. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and peaceful surroundings. The lawn area was perfect for relaxing—we spent several evenings sitting outside with a glass of wine, soaking in the tranquility. It truly felt like a private escape, far from other houses and completely serene. One of the highlights was the incredible wildlife right in the garden! We spotted deer, buzzards, a pine marten, and even tiny shrews. Bryce kindly brought us a camera trap, and we were lucky enough to capture footage ...more
This cottage has the wow factor right from when you drive through the gates. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful and are maintained to a very high standard. We were taken aback at how fabulous & spacious the lodge was. The luxurious furnishing were beautiful. There was everything you could possibly want in a holiday property and all of a very high standard. It has a lovely enclosed garden which we made full use of especially the hot tub and garden furniture. As a family of 8 and a young puppy it was perfect. We enjoyed the walks around the grounds and area. We would definitely love to vis...more
The house is stunning, lovely views, balcony, games room and modern throughout. Well equipped kitchen, big driveway. 2 bathrooms both with showers, 1 with a bath, built in storage. Very clean and will rebook
Writing to say thank you. We had 15 adults and 16 kids (ages 3 to 10) and found Gulabin Lodge an excellent experience to have such a gathering. The house and grounds provide ample space for games for the children. The kitchen was well stocked. The firepit was a hit and captivated everyone. We were in easy reach of local walks. Nothing was a problem for Helen and Tim and they created a relaxed atmosphere for us to have a wonderful weekend.
We had a great week staying in Stables Cottage. It’s was a great location to see the ospreys at Boat Garten, tour Loch Ness and explore the Speyside glen and cairngorms - too much for a week!! Stables Cottage was a home from home for the 4 of us (my wife and I + our 2 “young adults”!) and is comfortable and well appointed. The rooms are cozy but not small and we had plenty of space for the 4 of us. The balconies upstairs are a lovely place to sit and look out on the surrounding pines - we even saw a goshawk and a red squirrel! The kitchen is cosy but the 4 of us cooked and ate several meals ...more
We stayed at the Speysuide Suite for a long weekend - the cottage is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Great views from the lounge windows and convenient for touring the area. I will say though that the bed is defintely not a super king size - it is very short - but other than that it is excellent.
Beaver Creek is a lovely lodge although does not justify >£600 per night. Although on the whole the lodge was clean, the rug in front of the fire was filthy. There was no hoover, carpet sweeper or brush available to enable us to keep the floors as spruce as we would like which was also disappointing. The outdoor space with bbq and hot tub was lovely and it's a short walk to centre of Aviemore... All in all in all, it's nice but not luxurious.
Very nice house for the ten of us and 3 cockapoos.lots of space inside and out with good walks down by the river It was also good to sit by the window in the lounge early in the morning with a cup of tea and watch the wild life . Good as a base for getting around Aviemore and cairngorms.
Had a great holiday in this beautiful house/location. The house was so well equipped for the number of people staying with all sorts of kitchen equipment for all the cooking. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the towels provided were top quality. Loved the garden space to relax and enjoy. It was a great safe space for our dogs also. Would thoroughly recommend staying here.
This is an ideal property for a large group. Lots of indoor and outdoor space for playing games and relaxing. We were a large group of women who appreciated all the bathrooms and extension leads provided to get ready without queuing. Loved the large table situated just off the kitchen. We could all comfortably sit round this to eat and even had a cocktail making class.
The house is in a perfect location, walkable to Aviemore but close to Cairngorms, loch morlich and lots of other walks and trails. The house has the perfect layout for multi generation family break but is showing signs of age and was a little dusty in places. Great enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs and a lovely outlook.
Fabulous house with everything you would need. Owners were very helpful and lovely to deal with! Would stay again!
My family and I had the best time a 2 Queens. House ..Lovely house finished to an high standard with everything you need provided even robes for the hot tub and sauna , Would highly recommend:..great location just a short walk to loch Morlich…
Amazing house, we were a family group of 4 adults. Great space to relax. We would go back. Very lucky with the glorious weather! Beautiful area with so much to do. We walked, cycled and swam in the river. Enjoyed sitting in the garden and the view from the kitchen - lots of birds to watch and we also had a red squirrel come to visit. We used the BBQ, outdoor seating and games room. House very well equipped. Could now do with an upgrade in some areas - upstairs small shower doors very stiff, dishwasher door very heavy and drops quickly so needs attention. Overall a lovely stay.
We really enjoyed our stay! Beautifully located, comfortable, and cozy cottage. Our dog was also very welcome because the garden is fenced. Met the owners at the pub. Very welcoming people who put their heart and soul into their work. We'll definitely be back!
Heather Cottage as usual is a fantastic cottage. This is our 5th or 6th visit and we have just booked next year. The updated bathrooms are really well done and the Hot Tub is great as always.
Great house with a superb enclosed garden for the dog, great surprise of a pool table in the garage. Location is perfect for peaceful walks straight from the door and back garden with access to the forest through the garden gate. Lovely rooms with everything you need. Only thing I would comment on is the rubbish bins were full when we arrived, apart from that everything was perfect and we had a great time with excellent weather which helps immensely- thank you.
Pine Ridge Lodge an amazing property with all the facilities you could ask for in a dream location with views from the property of the mountains in the distance which gives it that extra special feel. Direct access to the woods from the garden to numerous woodland walks with the highlight being the walk to Loch Vaa . The property is situated on a quiet country lane and is located close to a local shop and two amazing restaurants. The property is finished to a high standard and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed their time at Pine Ridge and we will definitely be back again in the future.
Had an absolutely amazing stay at The Neuk. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Was great fun having the hot tub and ping pong table and amazing having the hot tub on and ready for our arrival! The beds were extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed, was a great spacious house. The dealings with the company and owners was also very helpful, providing a speedy response to any queries had and being very accommodating. Overall a fantastic stay had at this wonderful property!
We had a wonderful week staying at Reindeer House with our young family! The lodge had everything we needed, and in a great location for exploring the cairngorms. It was also lovely being able to use the hot tub once the kids were in bed at the end of the day. The garden was a wildlife haven - hundreds of birds, we saw red squirrels on quite a number of occasions, as well as a pine marten eating from the squirrel feeder. On arrival the bird and squirrel feeders were stuffed full of seeds and nuts and these lasted for most of the week. Be sure to top up the water dish near the hot tub as the wi...more
Stayed with my family (2 adults + 2 kids under 5 years old). Really confortable and clean. Everything worked well. Clear instructions. Excelent location. Fully equiped, including some dish soap, extra garbage bag. (Only didn't include extra toilet paper, salt/olive oil.) I would stay here again!! Fully recommend.
Excellent property, basically a home from home Not much else to say really. Thank you for our stay
Another fabulous week spent in the Cairngorms. This is our third booking with GNL and second time staying at Station Cottage. This lovely cottage is the perfect base for exploring the area with so many walks close by. Our dogs absolutely loved the large enclosed garden. We've already booked it again for 2026.
The house is wonderful, we enjoyed the space and the nature around the house. Any questions or requests (like an extra blanket for us Germans :D ) were answered promptly. For perfect cleanliness one could remove the spiderwebs/ old bugs from the windows/ clean the windows. But other than that, we were perfectly happy. I will gladly recommend the stay at Rivercroft to friends. We would love to come back one day.
Lovely cottage with everything we needed. Great position in the town. Very quiet even with the train station across the road. Lovely patio area we sat out most days.
We had a fabulous family week away at this idyllic house. Great location for access to the surrounding area and the beautiful walks in an around Aviemore and Boat of Garten. The house is secluded but a short drive from Aviemore and everything you may need. House is well stocked and has a super relaxing feel from the minute you walk in the door. We had great weather so got great use of the grounds and our dog loved the large area to explore! Would highly recommend this excellent property and the housekeeper who was very quick in responding to any queries that we had.
Another excellent stay with our family! A superb location & much valued privacy in this excellent lodge. Recent upgrades much appreciated and this is now an ideal place for a family (6 plus 1 dog) to stay. Away from a busy Aviemore but in an excellent location to enjoy the area - the scenery, wildlife and uncrowded & welcoming golf clubs. Only slight issue is the poor t.v. reception & wi-fi signal BUT this is a factor of the location, not the property AND should be taken as a positive - encouraging the non-use of mobile phones & i-pads!
We booked our stay as a treat for our honeymoon with our two young kids. Unfortunately due to a storm we were left with no electricity. While we understand that this is out with the control of the owners the running water is pumped by an electric pump and it meant that for the first nearly 24 hours we had no running water as well as electricity and as had to vacate the property for an entire day. When we reached out regarding this we feel we have been let down with no adequate resolution and ourselves out of pocket. As a result we would not recommend this property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Grouse Lodge the house had everything to cater for all ages a trampoline, hot tub, a good variety of board games. The house was beautifully situated, the views with a morning coffee from the balcony were simply breathtaking! It was a short walk into Aviemore and a short drive to gorgeous walks. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean and well organised. We will definitely return!
We had a wonderful time in Langrick, the house is lovely and comfortable with so much space! Thanks a lot!
The house was great, really well located for local amenities and walking / other activities in the area. The hot tub is a lot of fun and was lovely and clean. Kitchen well equipped. A couple of small areas that would benefit from maintenance e.g. loose toilet seats and some bathroom mould but nothing major. We’d return.
Spacious accommodation with a large enclosed garden in a perfect location to reach all the shops, restaurants, etc. The house is equipped with everything you could need and more!
Very pleased with stay! Board games - dvd player. Plenty kitchen utensils - dishwasher Dog bowls for dogs Could be doing with a brush for clearing as only hoover available just for general tidying. Location secluded but accessible to near by villages with car and fantastic walks available in local woods yet short drives away to many more! Cupboard door a little loose in kitchen and would be nice with some drawer space in upstairs loft bedroom as we used this for the kids. . Low gate at front of property so kept the dogs more at back of garden with someone always watching the space a...more
The Cabin was ever so sweet, all decorated for Santa coming, very comfortable, clean and cosy. We did enjoy our stay. We did have a problem on Xmas eve when the remote control for fire would not work, my daughters went out and purchased a battery and all was good ... then on boxing day evening we tired to turn fire down and the remote would not work again! we could not understand why this happened as we had only just replaced battery... not knowing what to do we tired to call housekeeping and maintenance ... we could not get an answer... we tired batteries that were in the drawer , eventu...more
Wolf Lodge was a lovely cosy, rustic retreat which we would highly recommend. The setting was secluded and private and the location really convenient for several attractions and activities. The place was clean, comfortable and had a lot of character - the upstairs floor accessed via ladder in particular was very charming. The hot tub was also a very nice feature and we were pleasantly surprised to find a sauna there too, (we may have overlooked this but it wasn't super evident from the website that there would be a sauna) although from the instructions it took us a short while to realise there...more
A spacious and comfortable property, we enjoyed our time at Salmon Run Lodge. It’s in an excellent but peaceful location for exploring the surrounding area. Carrbridge itself is lovely with some great walks and attractions. A few minor niggles. The property wasn’t spotless. Dust, hair and sweet wrappers under furniture, dishes left in the dishwasher from the last guests and a freezer which leaked over the floor. The ‘guidebook’ is out date referencing things that are no longer available. Generally it could do with a tidy up, water stained floors, scuffed paint in most rooms, a lot of weeds gro...more
