We very much enjoyed our stay in Cathedral House. It was extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated and in a terrific position. Would highly recommend!
We stayed at Muckrach (and Cairngorm Cottage) for 3 nights for my 50th birthday celebration with 30 guests. It was absolutely brilliant! The house is immaculate, comfortable, clean and spectacular. It's very welcoming and it has everything there you need and just a amazing place to relax and enjoy its surroundings whether it be reading the papers in the library, chilling in the copious sitting rooms or playing croquet on the lawn. The piano bar was a particular hit with my party! I didn't leave the grounds for 3 days as I didn't want to miss a second of it! I believe the bedrooms (maybe all th...more
Arrived at the property, which was a breath taking setting, The property was warm and of a very high standard. Everything you needed was catered for and more. This is the best place we have stayed in and none of the family wanted to go home. What more can you say other than thank you and if you need any staff to manage the estate or properties, would be willing to relocate from Suffolk. Many thanks for memorably stay.
The only complaint . I felt 4pm arrival and 10 am departure left a short break quite short . Must holiday homes are 3 pm and 11am . I felt I was starting to pack things up the night before departing as we had to be out by 10 am . Probably if you were there for a week . It wouldn’t be as bad. The house however was lovely .
Everything about our stay was top quality and comfort. The garden was an absolute delight helped by the fact that food for the birds was in plentiful supply. There were a good number of birds most of the time, 2 red squirrels, a bank vole and 2 visits that we know of from a pine martin. We hope to return one day.
Coorie Lodge is a great house for a family holiday. The view from the back of the house is over the golf course - lovely peaceful view. We used the decking in the mornings when it didn't rain. The house is spacious and the furniture is comfortable. The house was clean and well maintained and the communication with staff was helpful and prompt. We will go back - we loved the house and would avoid the peak season as it was quite expensive for 4 nights at this time of 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.
If you want to stay somewhere remote, quiet and peaceful, but without having to compromise in comfort, Laggandhu is the place to be. Very beautiful cottage which is well maintained. Not too far from activities and shops in the surrounding environment. We would definitely come back and can highly recommend this cottage.
We returned for a second time, after a lovely stay last year, for a family holiday. The property is really clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We had regular visits from red squirrels and a range of wild life. The secure garden was enjoyed by our grand daughter and the dogs. There are great walks right from the door, access to local cafes and a shop plus the opportunity to watch the steam train 6 times a day. We hope to return next year.
Stables Cottage is a beautifully appointed and comfortable home with everything you could ever need and more. It is in a wonderful, quiet and stunning spot nestled up against the forest yet accessible to the village itself. From the amazingly comfortable, sumptuous beds to the beautiful artwork on the walls, it did not disappoint. We will be back and would highly recommend this fantastic home. Thank you.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The spacious dining and kitchen area is a real highlight, creating a lovely social space for family and friends. The location is excellent, with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. We would happily recommend it.
We booked this property for a holiday with our children and grandchildren, and it was absolutely perfect for a family getaway. There was plenty of space for everyone, making it comfortable without ever feeling cramped. The property is in a great location, with lots to see and do nearby, while also having plenty to keep everyone entertained at the property itself. The play park and board games were brilliant for the grandchildren, while the hot tub was a real highlight for the adults. The fire pit was also a great addition, making for some lovely evenings together. The house was tidy, we...more
Un magnifique chalet de style alpin, à quelque distance du centre. Intérieur très confortable et joliment décoré, pas de jardin ni de vue mais belle terrasse avec jacuzzi et le murmure du joli ruisseau qui longe la maison. On sent partout l'amour des propriétaires pour le lieu. Une belle adresse.
beautiful house and location, this is not meant to be critical or in any way a reflection on whether or not we will return to this house, but having had several visits to this property, we noticed it was starting to look a little tired, showers/kitchen work benches etc that said, it is a fabulous house in a beautiful location wonderful family holiday
We had a magnificent stay at Forest Trail Lodge from 18/5/26 - 25/5/26. The lodge was immaculate on arrival and everything perfect for ourselves my son and daghter-in-law and 18 month old grandson. I could not fault anything from the design of the lodge,the comfort of the beds and couches,and the range of kitchen crockery and utensils. The range of wild birds and a red squirrel delighted us all especially grandson Liam and I would recommend getting a bag of wild birdfood early in the stay to get as much benefit as possible. All in all a great week and we hope to return next year.
This was the second time that the seven of us have stayed at Pine Ridge Lodge. We had an excellent stay. The lodge is spotless, very well kept and has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. There are plenty of things to entertain children and adults alike. We would highly recommend. Thank you! We look forward to returning again.
We really enjoyed our stay here. House was spacious and had everything needed to cook for a large group. We played lots of games in the evenings having taken them with us. Only downside was as was wet for most of trip very difficult to dry anything. Ie after watersports trip.
Fabulous house with everything you would need. Owners were very helpful and lovely to deal with! Would stay again!
Ellon cottage was the perfect place for a restorative vacation. Remote, quiet and scenic location. Well equipped kitchen and all comfortably furnished.
We loved our stay at the Okd Ministers House in Ruthiemurchas. The house was perfect for our group of friends with each of the rooms having en-suite bathrooms. There was plenty of space to congregate. Extra bonus was the location. We could watch folks on The Tree Zone and decided to try it too - great fun. We loved that the location was far enough out of Aviemore to enjoy beautiful Forrest walks to lochs and lochens, but close enough to walk in and enjoy spending time in Aviemore. Would definitely recommend for a large group.
Great location - not cheap, but it’s well appointed. We enjoyed our stay and will book again. I won’t bother with “the good” stuff because that’s already good, so to the improvement required….. House not clean enough. Soap and debris under taps , dust in lots of corners - better cleaner required. Not enough logs left for the stay. Log burner not adjustable and needs looking at as it incinerates only . Broken shelves in fridge. That’s it.
We have stayed in Bennachie previously and this persuaded us to rebook. This area is one we know well and the beautiful house is ideal for a mixed age family stay. Plenty of room and beautiful peaceful surroundings. I would certainly recommend Bennachie to anyone wanting a comfortable, peaceful place to stay for a lovely holiday.
Great location, close to shops and centre of town Place was spotless and well equipped although we did no cooking Place was warm and comfortable Only issue was double bed was very low in height making it slightly difficult to get out and up from. Mattress was quite firm but appreciate this is a very individual. Would not put me off booking again
We have stayed with Great North Lodges previously and always find the properties as described and in good locations. Usually we have been impressed with the standard of accommodation but were disappointed on this occasion. Two of the bathrooms in the house were not clean and had fallen into disrepair. The bathroom in the twin room was unsafe and the shower door fell off the runner. Additionally the kitchen ovens were dirty. The hot tub is showing its age. GNL response to an email however was quick and we had a property management agent come out and clean that afternoon. The property had cl...more
Heather Cottage has lived up to its previous charm and comfort. Very comfortable, very clean, very homely. New Hot-tub was good and easy to use. Bedrooms had been newly decorated to a high standard. Ideally located for Aviemore, just far enough away so as not to be noisy, but near enough that you can walk in.
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
Our second stay at Baddengorm and we had a fab time with great weather too fortunately. The house is amazing and has everything you need. We hope to be back again soon.
We had a wonderful 10-night stay and absolutely loved the cottage. It was spotlessly clean on arrival, comfortable, welcoming and generally very well equipped. It made a perfect base for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. A lovely extra touch was having the boules set and badminton net and rackets available, we made great use of these and really enjoyed playing together at the cottage. The enclosed garden was great for having the dogs with us, although it is worth being aware that it isn’t private and the cottage sits right next to the Speyside Way, so there are walkers and dog...more
Location was ideal for our purposes, very tranquil and beautiful but still close enough to main local amenities and attractions. Bridge closure was inconvenient but did not detract. Property is modern, clean and comfortable and is well provided for in all respects for everything we needed and more on our stay. We enjoyed using the log burner on a rainy day. The hot tub was good too and clearly well maintained. Overall we felt Rivercroft was a ‘home from home’ and offered us a relaxing family retreat. Hopefully we will return soon.
The location is wonderful and overall we enjoyed our three night family stay. We all felt that there were things not up to scratch for the very high price of a three night stay. One window in the living room and one window in the large first floor bedroom had smeared fingerprints all over them. There were no usable gas lighters for the fire/hot tub, bowls and plates were dirty and some quite badly cracked or chipped, the bathroom floor upstairs hadn't been cleaned properly as there were black hairs everywhere and doors were dirty where people have opened and closed them. The placemats and co...more
Had a great stay with extended family at Croft Kincardine. Lots of space and very quiet and peaceful with huge terrace for enjoying sundowners at the end of action packed days. Can thoroughly recommend.
A super house - it’s our second year staying at the Neuk. A few negative points: .. the house needs a good deep clean ..some items missing- a pan for the large brush, oven gloves, a small kitchen knife ( only very large knives which are difficult for cutting fruit etc), ..this time there was no dish washing liquid, and no dishwasher tablets - not even 1 to start us off. Perhaps if the latter is not to be supplied that should be made clear before arriving, as it’s difficult to clean dishes after first meal on the evening of arrival at 4pm! These are all small points which could be easily ...more
This is our second time staying here and we have always enjoyed our stay. It’s comfortable, clean and the location is perfect. Within easy walking distance of shops and train station. The garden and decking is lovely, especially when you get the lovely weather to enjoy it! It would be good if there was a gate or something at the bottom of the garden to make it enclosed for dogs.
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 stayed at Bracken House for a week in late June 2026 and had a wonderful time. The house was lovely, very clean, comfortable and had every amenity you could have a need for. The location is set within stunning silver birch woods on the outskirts of Aviemore where you can walk into town within 15 minutes or set off into the surrounding mountains on foot direct from the door. The location is peaceful, yet close enough to the shops and anything else that Aviemore offers. The house is spacious, very comfortable with everything you could need. It overlooks beautiful woods to rear where you...more
We had a wonderful break and are hoping to all return.Yes,it is "dated" but doesn't detract from it's charm.My grandson loved the space and being all on one level to work on his walking! Ideal property to explore an area that we all love. I agree with an earlier review that it would benefit from one of the twins becoming a double and also from blackout curtains in rooms with single beds where early rising children might be,especially in Summer! but otherwise we all had a great stay.
A nice stay in Aviemore. Enjoyed the hot tub & excellent location. Surprised to see a for sale sign when arrived as had not been advised of this. Concerned we might have viewings while there, but none. Stayed here a few times now so disappointed with the level of cleanliness & starting to look tired in places.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with 3 generations of the family. It was comfortable, spacious and clean with a well-equipped kitchen and large dining room table for family dining. Everything worked! There were beautiful views of the Cairngorms mountains especially from the bedrooms on the 1st floor. The grandparents occupied the ground floor bedroom and the rest of the family were upstairs. 3 of the 4 bedrooms had an en suite bathroom which made it easy for all. The table football and trampoline kept the teenagers busy during downtime in the house. The large square table in the lounge was...more
Great accommodation- very comfortable and everything I needed! Location was perfect- short walk to town and plenty of dog walking areas. Also close for getting to other areas within the Cairngorms, Inverness or Lochness. Would defo recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay at Wolf Lodge. You guys have thought of absolutely everything when it comes to facilities and it is the perfect, quiet, brilliantly located little lodge for accessing all of the usual tourist areas and woodland walks close by. The lodge itself is just perfect, it had plenty of space for our family of four plus our dog. The garden is secure so the kids and dog could easily go out and run around without worry. The hot tub and sauna were fab for us being able to unwind when the kids finally went down for the night (the bunk beds were just too exciting for them so they...more
Nice lodge but we had some issues with hot water, and one of the beds had a mattress that smelled really bad. Cleanliness was okay but lots of dust under the beds. Hopefully a one-off as we have rented cottages with Great North Lodges before without any issue.
It’s a very attractive house architecturally. The dining and living area is very cosy. We lit the wood-burning stove and really enjoyed the warmth and atmosphere. There’s a small utility room (+++) leading out to the sauna and the hot tub (+++). It’s all very well laid out. The kitchen is beautifully fitted out, but could be a bit better equipped for cooking. The bathrooms are top-notch. The bedrooms are also very nicely furnished, but the mattresses are hard and uncomfortable. There weren’t any extra blankets either, which we could have done with. We could have slept better.
