Rivercroft, near Dulnain Bridge, is a new architect designed home built on the old family croft. The floor to ceiling windows in the living area beautifully frame the fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor, with a Jack and Jill bathroom. A boot room provides ample space for coats and boots and storage. A beautiful glass balustrade staircase leads you up to the twin bedroom and double bedroom, and a family shower room sits conveniently between the bedrooms. Please note this property has it’s own water supply from a spring.

We stayed at Rivercroft for a week in April. It was a return trip, having stayed there already a couple of years prior. The location, well provided accommodation and secure garden were major selling points for us. This time it was equally nice, Not much had changed besides some fresh pesky mole mounds in the garden. We didn’t use the garden greatly so it didn’t bother us. It seemed cleaner too but we were staying much earlier in the season so potentially not long after a refresh. We liked the big open windows of the living room and the utility room was great for sorting out things post hiking. We really enjoyed being so close to both Grantown for the famous KJ’s bakery and Aviemore for a bit more hustle and bustle. One major downside this time around that I must mention was to see that a brand new property was being built immediately next to Rivercroft. One of the key reasons we chose this place was due to it being quite well separated from neighbouring properties. We value that sense of space we simply don’t get at home. I’m sure the new place will be fantastic whatever its intended usage but I would not choose to stay at Rivercroft again because of this. Instead, I’d seek another property that doesn’t have immediate next door neighbours.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. There was always a cottage in the plot of land next to Rivercroft, this has now been demolished and a new build in its place so privacy hasn't changed.

Beautiful cottage and the location was ideal for us as we were seeking a quiet and peaceful holiday. There were two walks from the cottage but these were mainly in quiet roads and not great for letting dogs off. Just a few minor niggles that the oven and grill needed cleaning (which we did) and the hot tub cover was loose

Absolutely loved our stay at Rivercroft, the property was excellent and came extremely well equipped with everything you could need and more. the welcome pack was of high quality and enjoyed! the garden was brilliant for our dogs and felt safe to leave them roaming free. the hot tub was enjoyed every night especially by our two sons. Fantastic location for nearby places like carr-bridge, aviemore etc. loads of walks nearby and we especially loved the woodland at carrbridge along with the carvings. The overall experience dealing with GNL was brilliant and always replied promptly to any questions or problems.
we would definitely recommend Rivercroft, the only reason we've not given it absolutely top marks is the pillows specifically in the downstairs bedroom were very floppy and unsupportive, would have been usefull to have a wardrobe in each bedroom as it made it difficult to unpack properly and there were bits that needed abit of tlc like the velux windows above the cooker where grease had collected but this is being picky, credit where credits due excellent place and excellent company to deal with, the App is an excellent and handy touch, well done GNL!

We couldn't have asked for more. An amazing spot with easy access to amazing lochs, rivers, waterfalls and mountains. Superb views from the hot tub.
Very well equipped (more like a family home than a hot tub)
You feel very close to nature. We saw hundreds of hares from the house itself, and an ermine stoat and deeper just a few minutes walk from the house.
And the dark night skies are amazing for star gazing from the tub or garden.
Couldn't recommend more

The house was beautiful and clean. Kitchen very well equipped. We went in the hot tub every day and even saw the new year in in it. Perfect location being close to lots of places to visit including Inverness and Balmoral. Endless numbers of walks to do, some straight from the house. The information supplied from the owners was fantastic. We had a great holiday and didn’t want to come home! The welcome package was a very nice treat to arrive too aswell. Thank you!

Rivercroft is tucked away in a quiet location with dark skies and wilderness on the doorstep, yet only a short drive to some wonderful facilities, cafes, pubs and walks.

Very clean, with a well equipped kitchen and very useful boot room with drying rack. The welcome pack was lovely and we enjoyed the hot tub despite the temperature outside being well into the minus!

It was quite simply stunning. The location had everything. The house was cosy and beautiful, with everything you could ever need. The welcome goodies were a beautiful touch. The house was so good, it was difficult to leave it to take advantage of the amazing walks and scenery. We will be back.



Wow!

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful house, within a gorgeous setting and a very hot hot tub.
The only thing that was wrong was the very, very noisy heating system and the water pump. It sounded as if someone was constantly in the shower. An outdoor light would also add to the safety of our visit. There is one but, when the hot tub lid was up, it obscured the light so, it was a bit treacherous getting in and out.
Apart from that everything was outstanding and 5 star!

Lovely house situated in the heart of the countryside. Very clean and dog friendly. Hot tub was a great bonus and was well used even on rainy days. It would have been nice to have been greeted with a welcome hamper with some basics; teabags, biscuits etc. Coffee machine would benefit from some updating with a more modern model. Also extra towels would have been handy. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

This was our 2nd stay at Rivercroft and again we loved it. Spacious, clean and very easy to feel at home in. So much so that we were fortunate enough to be able to extend our stay by a few days, many thanks to GNL and the owners. Not far from Aviemore and surrounding areas and everything you want to see and do but a wonderful tranquil place to return to where you can truly switch off and relax and simply take in the stunning views.

The cottage is so lovely and cosy, the views from the lounge are amazing, the garden is superb! The cottage is so well equipped with everything you need in a house. The location was good for us with plenty of lovely walks. I would recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful and rural holiday.

The house is perfect for a quiet stay in the countryside. There’s shops 10 mins away for supplies and some lovely walks and mountain biking. The hot tub was perfect after an autumn walk and there was a cute welcome package for us when we arrived and everything we needed at the house. Thank you for having us.

A stunning little property, although it appears remote the local villages have ample shops for supplies etc. The property is very well equipped with all modern appliances, the beds are extremely comfortable although could have done with extra pillows; not a criticism just a suggestion. The fire in sitting room is great on a cool evening, also the sunrises are amazing to watch from the comfort of the sitting room. There are some stunning walks very close by. all providing amazing views and plenty of wildlife, if you feel more athletic there are some great cycle routes both off and road; the road to Tomintoul is superb and the Whiskey Castle provides some great food as well as a fine collection of drams. The Cairn (recently opened) is also highly recommended and within a short walk.
The property has amazing views thorough out even when the weather is a little inclement.
Roe deer are often in the local fields (usually early morning or early evening when light is fading.
We had a truly relaxing time and will definitely be back.

Rivercroft is such a beautiful haven to return to from outdoor adventures in this stunning part of the country. It feels off the beaten track and yet is close to the main road network to make it easy to access all the area as to offer.
The lodge is spacious and airy with light pouring in; a beautifully designed space to enjoy. It is well appointed and really comfortable. despite the amazing location and places to explore it was tempting to just chill in the lodge and stay cosy in front of the wood burning stove. It was very easy to feel completely at home straight away.
I seriously hope to be back in the wonderful happy place soon.
