An absolutely excellent holiday home with all that’s required to make for a great time away.The views from the veranda of the Spey valley with the Cairngorms behind is spectacular.We did some amazing walking including Loch Garten(Osprey centre ) and Mallachie, Loch Morlick near beautiful Glenmore and higher up on the hills above Glenmore, plus Cairn Gorm and the full ridge from the ski centre.Nearby Grantown on Spey and Boat of Garten offer good eating places. Enjoyed the photographic exhibition of Ed Smith at Kingussie, where we walked up to the high grouse moor. Also the local agricultural show at Grantown was a highlight.Colin is an excellent and caring host. We also got to know his brother, who lives next door

Our family of five had a comfortable stay in this lovely cottage. It is situated in a very peaceful location with wonderful views of the Cairngorms. Local shops are a short drive away. The kitchen is very well equipped and modern. All beds were comfortable although the singles from the zip and link bed were narrow and felt small for our teenagers. The cottage has been modernized to a high standard but retains its ‘cottage’ feel. We would certainly recommend this accommodation.

A beautiful cottage, modernised, comfortable and well equipped. For us the stand out feature was the amazing view. The property owner gave us a warm welcome and was on hand if we needed anything.
