A brilliant stay. We had everything we needed. It was clean and cosy, a home away from home. Will definitely be back

We had a lovely week at The Byre, great lodge with everything you need, clean and comfortable. Loved watching the red squirrels and also the deer. It is close to Newtonmore which has a Co-op and also ideally placed for walking and cycling. Aviemore is not far away and the Cairngorm Mountain Railway which is worth a visit in a clear day. Would recommend The Byre for a stay.

We have just returned from a wonderful week staying at The Byre. It is a great property and incredibly clean and tidy. The location was on a camping/caravan site however everything was very spaced out and there was no noise at all. We saw red squirrels every morning and red deer every night from the lodge. We took our dog and 3 year old and the facilities were amazing for both of them. We did lots of things in the local area as well as travelling further afield, it is a great central location for both West & East coasts. Suzanne gave us lots of information before we arrived and checked that everything was okay on the day we travelled and when we had a power cut which was great especially as she was away herself. We would love to return and imagine the property would be fantastic for a cozy winter getaway.
