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
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.
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
Just returned from a weeks stay at Coorie Lodge. We travelled as a family group of 4 adults, a 5yr old and our 2 small dogs. The house is furnished to a high standard and very spacious. The kitchen is large and well equipped, the log fire in the living room was great on the colder nights ( logs supplied) and good to have a games area in the garage too . Beds were super comfy and both of the larger bedrooms have smart TVs but the smaller bunk room does not a TV . The house has a huge wrap around balcony with access from both the living room and dining area. The balcony offers lovely views ov...more
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
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.
We loved our time at Beaver Creek Lodge and all had an amazing time. We loved the authentic wood lodge and all its interiors. The sauna and hot tub were great and very relaxing. My only criticism would be the size of the tv’s. We love to sit down together as a family and watch movies and the main tv was really quite small. I think for the size of room and the size of the whole lodge I would expect larger, more modern tv’s. I’m sure this is something that could be easily remedied and so would definitely book again!
We thoroughly enjoyed yet another holiday in Glen Feshie where our family comes together to enjoy time away from city life. . It is in a wonderful, relaxing setting - ideal for us all including the dogs. It has become an annual event and we are always sad to go but know that whatever happens we will be returning again very soon. Thank you for providing this wonderful house in a beautiful part of the world we can enjoy!
Overall the group I was with had a lovely stay. Minor cleanliness issues requiring a bit more attention to detail but generally clean. All communication was pleasant. Beautiful location and many options for things to do, a great base. Our group did feel that it was a lot of money just for weekend and there were quite a few conditions such as rubbish segregation and hot tub filling/heating and emptying. We did however have a lovely stay.
We had the most wonderful weekend staying in Suidhe lodge for a 40th birthday celebration, with family. The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. So many lovely walks on our doorstep and having the cosy little bar next door made it extra special. Will definitely be back. Great customer service when dealing with our requests.
Beautiful cottage in a very tranquil location. We had a great stay in the cottage, everything that you could need and more. We spent most of our evenings enjoying the pool table and the darts board. The weather was very kind which always makes the holiday even better.
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 absolutely loved this cottage, and want to go back. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, both inside and out. As a party of six we felt there was plenty of living space (although two people had to sleep in the bunk bed room off the master bedroom). The beds are super comfy. The kitchen has everything you need to self cater. The generous dining table can expand to a provide a large, luxurious dining space. The hot tub is toasty warm, and someone visits every second day to maintain it to a high standard. In the secluded garden are outdoor benches and tables galore to let you catch the sun (whe...more
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!
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…
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
Beautiful house in a beautiful area. Everything we needed. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Really enjoyed ourselves.
This was our second visit to Reindeer House since June. The property is very well equipped, comfortable and in a great location for lots of walks, loch visits and golf. We really relax here and the house is really homely and comfortable and the views are fabulous. We had sunny days and starry nights in the hot tub. The dog loved the garden and the birds on the feeders kept us entertained. Can recommend.
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!
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 cottage itself was very clean on arrival and is very comfortable and decently equipped. It’s location is first class with forest walks straight from the door and a 20 minute drive will take you to Aviemore and activities there. The cottage itself is a short walk to the local café which is excellent, the farm shop and general store both of which are very good. We have stayed there 6 times now and on the very rare occasion we had an issue, GNL responded immediately and resolved it equally fast. As holiday renters over many years, I can say this is most certainly one of the very best. ...more
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.
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
This is a lovely traditional cottage with ample living space and bedrooms for a family celebration. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen and bathrooms are modern and suitable for our needs. Bit disappointed that considering the cost there was no tea bags/coffee/pint of milk or a single dishwasher tablet or salt/pepper for example, these little things make a big difference on arrival. We have stayed in many self catering homes throughout Scotland and this is not the norm- remember to come fully equipped! Saying that I would recommend a stay, the outdoor deck was a great addition and we all enj...more
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!
Lodge was as advertised. Asked for help to put on heating and electrician arrived within 30 mins. Fab
Loved the look of this when browsing North Lodges site, however the pictures do not do it justice. The property is very spacious and has EVERYTHING you thought you needed and then some. The owners have thoughtfully included everything in the rental. Sky Sports and free WiFi are included. The kitchen had simply everything you could need and all utensils etc were spotless. The Lounge is huge with a great outlook. There are various nooks and crannies to sit in the garden, a Hot Tub, log burners in the lounge & bedroom along with a great supply of logs, matches firelighters kindling..............t...more
We had a lovely holiday at 4 Pines Lodge. The house has lots of good things going for it and was good for our family getaway. There are a few maintenance and cleaning issues that we have advised GNL of. That said, the basics of bedrooms and bedding were clean, no complaints. Same with toilet showers and kitchen. Large lounge great for family gathering and there were plenty of logs for the fire. Whole house could do with a bit of a ‘refresh’ Garden area was great for kids and dog and we enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit.
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.
While the pictures make it seem bigger then it is, I still enjoyed my stay there very much. Coming from Canada, it took a little getting used to. The stove ... HoB? was completely new to me. While the weather didn't co-operate too much, i did manage to sneak into the hot hot once, for a very relaxing time. The wood stove, while small, heats it up fast as well. My only complaint, was the shower/toilet. Not to say there's anything wrong with it, but being 6'1, 350lb, it was a tight fit for me. I would still stay there again though, in a heartbeat. It was a very good place to explore nort...more
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
