My partner and I together with our three dogs had a very peaceful stay at Honey Cottage. We had everything we needed although no WiFi but we didn't miss it as we were too busy enjoying the beautiful countryside. A nice big enclosed garden for the dogs to play in and wonderful dense woodlands close by for them and us to explore. We also found time to drive all round the Cairngorms and enjoyed it immensely.

Super, well equipped cottage in a lovely setting. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and the neighbours are lovely (they helped us, as in they did everything, when we found an injured wildcat in the garden and we didn't know what to do! So grateful to them) This is a beautiful quiet location if you want to get away from it all.
