Ideal family holiday!
Nice house in an ideal location to enjoy the local area. We stayed for a week and the location was great for a some exellent walking, cycling and relaxing. The house is well equipped, warm, comfortable and clean, it has the added bonuis of a lockable outhouse which was good for storing bikes.
Grantown is just along the road with a good range of shops, cafes and other facilities. Aviemore slighly further afield for a larger shops and amenties.
Overall a throughouly enjoyable stay and communication with Charlie was excellent.

The property was very clean and well-appointed for a comfortable stay for a family. The photos represent the property well. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you might need for self-catering. No dishwasher, but that was the only thing, and we knew that from the description before making the booking. The description doesn't mention a freezer, so we weren't sure before we arrived, but it was a fridge freezer, so all good. Good communication from the owner. No issues and happy to recommend.

Fishing trip
We came up for a week's fishing on the Spey and this cottage was superb for our needs. Adequate parking for 3 cars and only a few minutes drive to the river and the town. The facilities in the cottage were some of the best we've ever experienced and the owner was on hand had we required anything additional.
I would happily reccomend this cottage to any of my friends and we hope to return again.
