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
Absolutely phenomenal stay! We recently stayed here with our family and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place. The house was absolutely beautiful, with so much space for everyone, and the grounds and gardens were simply amazing. One of the things we loved most was the amount of different lounge and sitting areas throughout the house. It meant that, even with a family gathering, there was always somewhere to escape to for a little bit of peace and quiet if you fancied some time away from everyone else! The welcome hamper was such a lovely touch and very much appreciated. We were es...more
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 .
Mallard was the perfect holiday home. It was comfortable, clean and had everything practical you could want. It was a little chilly later in the week and the heating system was excellent. Seeing red squirrels and a crested tit in the back garden was an absolute delight. Another plus was the location, we did three walks from the house, just perfect. The village had everything and the pub does good pub grub. We hope to revisit in the future . Thank you Mallard for a great week
Lovely spacious place to stay for a week exploring the Cairngorms. Clean and comfy, spotlessly clean. Perfect sized enclosed garden for dogs.
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.
The extension of the old Stables building works really well and particularly liked the living room on the first floor with its two balconies and felt like you were almost living amongst the trees, a lot of good natural light and views. Everything was clean and fresh and garden was ideal for our 2 springer spaniels to stretch their legs. Getting to the woods behind was only a short 100yds or so walk, didn't try the stile at the rear to the garden, maybe next time. We have been to Nethy Bridge many times over the last 20 or so years, this is a welcome addition, and makes a great spot to tour fro...more
We stayed 4 nights and wished it was longer. Very comfortable and well equipped with a good garden. The sauna and hot tub were well used. We were a party of 6 unrelated adult couples and it suited us well. It would be good for an intergenerational family. There is a some road noise from the garden but it didnt bother us and means accessibility is good.
Just perfect! Lovely lodge. Well thought out. Everything you need. Great location. Thankyou for helping with the balloons too.
Have stayed here many times so that’s a good sign! Another lovely stay! This year it felt cosier as the heating was set to come on in the morning which was so much better. Ice bag in freezer also a great plus! Same suggestions as last year! A coffee machine! Can buy a nespresso for minimal ££. I bring my own but is a hassle! Blind in master bedroom high window. Make the bunk room window into a door so the room is more useable as a real 3 bedroom rather than 2.5! The trolleys to move luggage etc are vital but one of them is falling apart! Having said that I have rebooked for n...more
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.
Another great stay at Pine Ridge Lodge! Three generations now and well equipped for all, comfortable and spacious. Fab location, walks from the door, garden lovely for socialising and relaxing. Loved the different areas to sit in and catch the sun! Hot tub a bonus. Only downside was there was a lot of dog hairs on some of the throws and carpets in the bedrooms. Not ideal with a crawling baby. Couldn’t find a vac otherwise we would have tried to remove some. Nothing that would put us off booking again though.
This is a really fine house in a truly fabulous location. The amenities on the doorstep, including the local pub, are tremendous. The house is very well appointed. It is easy to see that the owners have invested in making it a fine place to stay. There are one or two things still needing a little bit of attention but these are a work in progress. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is really well appointed. The dining table is perfect even if the house is full. We were 14 which filled the table perfectly but you could squeeze in a couple more. The hot tub was really popular with man...more
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.
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 had a fantastic stay at the Old Ministers House and have booked with GNL many times. We visit the area several times a year and the location at Rothimurcus is perfect for us for all the activities we enjoy. The house itself is very comfortable there's lovely big sofa in living room, bedrooms and en-suites all clean and big comfy beds, the kitchen could do with a bit of a spruce up and a couple of things renewed however the house has the perfect layout for family groups and and the garden with hotub & BBQ area is fab. The only moan we have is that for the price logs could have been provid...more
This property is so good. Perfect location with everything you need including a brand new jacuzzi. The garden is 100% secure for Dogs and very private. Overall excellent.
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 just returned from this brilliant cottage in Nethy Bridge. It was a delight of a cottage. It used to be the station masters house on the old railway line. It is very cosy, and had everything you need. It's very close to the Speyside way for walks, and had a butchers farm shop closed by, plus a pub/inn plus a cafe within a few hundred metres. We will be back!
View of the mountains from the comfort of the living area was unbeatable. Beautiful kitchen leading out to the decking area.
A lovely house in a fantastic location however on arrival we had a couple of issues which I raised in email. The main bathroom was not clean , there was thick green and black mould on the shower plastic rim, around the fixings and all of the shower hoses , these were clearly not being cleaned properly, I cleaned these extensively myself , as we had our two very young grand children with us , one of whom suffers with allergies the mould was a serious concern. The dishwasher door has no spring anymore and could cause injury to a child . There was a dried blood stain on one of the single duvet co...more
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.
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
Rivercroft is in a stunning location and well situated to explore the beautiful, Aviemore is only a short drive away. However, the maintenance let the lodge down. The two carbon monoxide detectors had low batteries and started beeping in the early hours of the morning on two separate occasions. Great North Lodges were helpful and the owner did arrive the next day. The living room door was broke on arrival. The front door was sticking, making locking it difficult. The extractor fan in the upstairs bathroom was not working. The downstairs shower was useless. The frying pans and baking sh...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.
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.
A group of my friends who all turned 40 recently just stayed at The Neuk and the property was everything we wanted. Lots of socialising space, a hot tub and the table tennis all contributed to a great weekend. The local pub just around the corner was also an added bonus.Would definitely recommend to any wanting to stay in the Aviemore area.
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
Great location for walking either from the property or a short drive away. Very versatile accomodation, clean and comfy. Well equipped. Great for watching wildlife - red squirrels, birds and bats. Dog friendly garden. A very relaxing place to stay.
We stayed in Bracken House for a week . House was fantastic with the hot tub an added bonus .Plenty room for 6 and the house was fantastic in a great location We well definitely return
Beautiful house and central to everything you need. Loved the little personal touches throughout. We like to go different places otherwise we would return.
Excellent lodge situated in a prime location. Not enclosed if you have dogs, would have preferred gates at entrance.
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 have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wolf Lodge. Well located for great walks and Cycling. The Jacuzzi and Sauna are an added Bonus which make this property excellent value for money. The property is great for 2 adults and two children as Bunk bed room is quite small. Overall a great Holiday.
Close to all the main attractions in the area but in a quiet cul de sac. Very pleasant walks on the doorstep. Path to the river - where some happy souls dook themselves. An excellent spot.
Let’s start with the positives; The property was very clean, compliments to the Housekeeper (Apart from staining on the front bedroom floor). The maintenance man came out promptly when called (Tripped emersion heater). The negatives; The property and furniture are ratty, tatty and knackered. It is clearly a ‘Cash Cow’, with minimal or no reinvestment from the owners. There is not a grill pan for the oven (Reported). There are not any instructions for ovens or washing machine etc. The freezer is woefully inadequate for eight guests, far too small. Apart from two windows that have been re...more
