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
What a wonderful and comfy place to spend your holiday. The views and grounds are lovely. We have loved our time here and are already looking forward to our return for Christmas and the New Year. Even Storm Amy did not detract from our stay. The wonderful Donny and Andrea came to the rescue when we lost power and started the generator. Hey presto power and zero inconvenience. Brilliant. We must give a special shout out to Donny & Andrea they have been fantastic. Very welcoming, happy to have a chat and help out in any way to make our stay memorable. We used Speyside Kitchens who provided exce...more
This is our 3rd time holidaying at Coorie Lodge and what a wonderful week we had. We were even lucky to have snow which made the holiday even more special. The views from the balcony are absolutely stunning and location perfect to access various walking routes. The lodge had everything we needed and more. We look forward to returning again next year.
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.
Great location and perfect place to stay in the Highlands. Spotlessly clean and perfectly decorated. We loved it and can’t wait to come back.
Stables Cottage is very comfortable and very well appointed. The owners have thought of everything one might want in a holiday cottage. We particularly loved sitting in front of the log burner on cold evenings looking out at the stars. Its location could not be better either - right on the edge of the forest - perfect for long walks. The only issue we had was that we found the property had not been fully cleaned before our arrival. However GNL were quick to apologise and provide a suitable remedy when we contacted them. We would, therefore, happily stay in this or other GNL properties in fut...more
We loved everything! The wee bridge crossing the river was an amazing welcome. The hot tub was fantastic, very relaxing and well maintained. Outside chairs with the heat lamps are great to sit outside in the fresh crisp air. The location is great to walk into the shops/pubs but yet secluded enough that you never seen/heard anyone. Added bonus the we got snow falling on the last morning which was beautiful. We are already looking to rebook this lodge again for next year.
This was our third visit to Smithy Croft and our first under GNL management. It was great going back with our family - the size of which has increased by 1 each time we visit! As always it's a welcoming comfortable place to spend a few days - we enjoyed the hot tub and the older grandsons loved the mini golf. The rooms were all clean and comfortable and the boys loved the built in bunks. The kitchen is spacious and incredibly well-equipped. The only thing that any of us missed from home was an air fryer - maybe worth considering.
A lovely house in fabulous surroundings. This was our 2nd stay 15 years later and the house is even more lovely after the extension. We had relaxing family time and the children loved the wildlife right outside the windows.
Lovely cottage, beautiful views, great location for Caingorms and woodland Loch walks. We enjoyed the hot tub and the log burning stove in the living room. Comfy mattresses. The enclosed garden was great for dogs and children.
We rented The Lodge and The Garden Cottage together for a special birthday family gathering. We ranged in age from 8 months to 78 years, and the venue and the location were perfect - comfortable and spacious, in an area bursting with outdoor activity opportunities
Great little cottage/lodge for amazing family time getaway together. Has been updated and refreshed from when we were last here in 2022 and it’s all the better for it. Very cozy with wood burning stove new shower room and en-suite in main bedroom. Nice little friendly bar on site also. What more do you need?
Thoroughly great stay at the Old Ministers house with family recently. Location is excellent and the house is really well set up for a large group. We will most definitely be back!
We had an excellent stay. The house was really well equipped and in a perfect location with easy access to both forest walks and Nethy Bridge’s local amenities like the cafe and farm shop. The house was warm and cosy and Audra and owner Jen went above and beyond in ensuring we had a very relaxing time during a much needed break. We would definitely return.
Fabulous house with everything you would need. Owners were very helpful and lovely to deal with! Would stay again!
We booked the house for a special celebratory family weekend and it was perfect for our needs. Everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay.
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…
To start, this house is beautiful and can host six people very comfortably. The space is amazing and the beds were very comfortable. The pool table and darts board were a huge plus for us, as we played every evening. The hot tub was also excellent – it maintained its heat well and the views from it were absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, the stay was let down by the cleanliness. On arrival, there were dead flies in every room, thick dust on the bedroom beams, and spider webs in the corners and inside the light shades. In addition, the shower door in one of the bathrooms had already come off ...more
Comfortable home in a great location in Aviemore. There was 4 adults in our party and there was plenty of space for all of us and our dog. Hot tub was great and coming inside after an evening dip to a toasty living room with the log burner was a real treat. Hope to come 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!
My family and I had a wonderful time at Station Cottage last week. It was like a home from home with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. The wood burner was an added bonus and we felt very cosy with it on in the evenings. The village is beautiful, as is the surrounding area and the butchers shop almost next door and the premier shop just up the road came in really handy. We were really lucky that we were able to book this little gem very last minute as our air b n b had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. The customer service was second to none with all the in...more
We had a great stay and found the hot tub to be one of the best we have experienced. Loved the birds and squirrels and the walks directly from the door. Couple of minor things that need addressed as part of any upgrade plan, 1. A sign from the main road would be helpful 2. Some of the pans don’t work on the induction hob 3. The sofa needs replaced
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.
The house was well equipped and although off the a9 was vey quite. Had a lovely outlook out the and a Lovely walk into Main Street only 15/20 mins.
The family spent a highly enjoyable week during early November at stunning Baddengorm Lodge. The property is very spacious, with many distinctive touches, comfortable and well equipped. The setting in particular was just beautiful and has very private grounds with woodland, stream and even its own Lochan. One week was simply not long enough to enjoy all that the property and surrounding area has to offer.
The property was in a very convenient location for exploring all round the Highlands - use the Google map to locate when first arriving If arriving in the dark like us, would be good to have a lit up sign for the house driveway and over the key box Quality of some cooking equipment - baking trays, roasting dish poor and very old - take your own or use foil to ensure food taste not tarnished Oven seal was broken so oven performance perhaps not so good Some cooking utensils missing which would have been better if present Heating was weird - lovely and warm by morning but cold in the evening...more
We had a wonderful stay as an extended family of 7 staying at spey cottage. The house had everything we needed, it was cosy and the stove and wood was a real treat to warm up after an autumn day. The cottage was a perfect size, and location was perfect. We loved being able to walk to many amenities and was very quiet despite being beside a railway line. The only downside for us was that there were aspects of housekeeping that were overlooked. There was a broken glass bowl in a drawer in the kitchen. All the broken parts had been placed in a different bowl but I suspect all drawers were not c...more
Stunning views; wonderful countryside to roam with our dog; comfortable house (though soundproofing not the best). Service was great and responsive (hot tub maintenance and other small housekeeping issues); Perhaps the best house we have ever rented for a week. I will definitely want to return one day.
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 had a lovely stay at Langrick. A well equipped, cosy property in a gorgeous location. The fire was wonderful!
Loved our stay here, fabulous property, only issue was several old cobwebs and dust in areas that were obviously being overlooked when cleaning and the vacuum cleaner wasn’t leaving the carpets clean. The lounge carpet wasn’t clean when we arrived and after several attempts to clean it ourselves there was still dog hair from previous occupants left on the carpet. Deep clean and new vacuum capable of picking up dog hair recommend.
Lodge was as advertised. Asked for help to put on heating and electrician arrived within 30 mins. Fab
We loved the location of the property and the size, beautiful lounge dinning area. The bed was very comfortable and the extra space of the dressing room was a great bonus. We loved the hot tub which we used daily during our stay. The log burner in the living room was great and we used this daily, it was a great on the cold days and created a great ambiance for the room. We knew it was a dog friendly property but my only issue was that there were quite a lot of dog hairs still on the foot stool and areas of the couches, a bit more attention to getting these hairs removed between quests would be...more
The lodge on the surface is nice, cosy and welcoming, wouldn’t like to stay there in the summer as it gets very little natural sunlight, but for a winter or Autumn break it was totally fine.
We had a peaceful stay at Wolf Lodge. It has cool alpine vibes.The log burner soon makes the room nice and cozy. We were able to cook some delicious meals in the kitchen. The sauna was amazing and on the clear nights the stars were beautiful from the hot tub.
Great location but sadly the property is in desperate need of a deep clean and refurbishment. Issues raised by previous guests haven't been addressed 6 months later which shows the lack of genuine care to the paying customer.
Well equipped home with great layout and plenty of space but upon arrival it was clear it wasnt the cleanest GNL I've stayed in and there's been a few so that was disappointing. Crumbs in cupboard, clumps of fluff and outside debris in en suite, coffee granules in coffee pot, L shaped couch needs cushions removed and hoovered and also pulled out and hoovered underneath. Bedrooms were perfect apart from Master suite mattress needs an upgrade. As does the tv which kept losing signal. Welcome pack was beautiful, the coffee and jam especially, are delicious. Hot tub, of course, epic however we had...more
