My only complaint is it was too hot!! For the first 24 hrs, we were down to shorts and t shirts in January! ! The overly efficient biomass boiler meant the house was too hot! We spoke with the house keeper though, and this was remedied swiftly. The staff were attentive, but also left us to our own devices. A very laid back affair - which suits a relaxing stay in the Highlands. Excellent that dogs and children were welcome! We would definitely come again. Thank you!
We have just come back from a great week on Alvie Estate. We are a family of 4 and the Farmhouse we stayed in was perfect for us and had everything that we needed. It was warm, cosy and well laid out and everything in the house was in excellent condition! The location is fantastic, not only do you have great views from the house but the surrounding area is stunning and there is so much to do from lots of walking to fun activities. If you are looking for a quiet location with easy access to everything then we would highly recommend this place. We loved it and will be back!

Alvie House is very old fashioned and lacks some of the facilities associated with more modern properties, such as showers, and extra bathrooms.

There was a problem with the hot water supply, and this was mitigated quickly. When arriving or leaving in darkness, we needed an outside light at the main entrance, which was a serious omission. The location of the property is excellent - although ...more
It was like always, a wonderful time on Alvie that happened way too fast. All people were helpful and friendly, you can not ask for more! I am looking forward to the next stay there. Greetings Wolfgang
