Great house, lovely location!

Great house, lots of space, house layout is brilliant. It was ideal for our 2 families with kids. The garden is lovely, and the house is in a great location to either go for a walk, cycle or get in the car and exploring local area/head in to Aviemore. Great butcher/corner shop just a short walk from the house too. Would recommend, and stay again!

Great stay

We booked Braeside to celebrate my mums 70th and it did not disappoint! The photos don't do it justice. The house was beautiful, easy to find and had everything we needed to have a fabulous weekend. Perfect base for visiting Aviemore, Grantown on Spey, Boat of Garten etc. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Spacious and clean house, ideal for three family. We would stay again!Some improvements would be more putdoor furniture such as a decent dinner table to comfortably fit us round. Our elderly parents didn't enjoy the bench! Also an outdoor sofa arrangement to relax in. A shame the bbq wasnt clean when we arrived and some new mugs are needed. Thanks again!

Lovely house for a big family or friends

A fabulous house in a great location

This property was all it claimed to be for our family of 10. Very spacious indeed, we didn’t even use the lounge as the weather was great and the conservatory suited us fine! The children loved the table tennis in the garage and the ample outdoor space. The surrounding area was great for walking and cycling and we enjoyed travelling to lots of different places, Findhorn beach, Inverness (by train) , Balmoral, Ballindalloch castle, as well as the Cairngorms and all its activities, quad biking, zip wiring, cycling and walking. Something for all of us, from grandparents to children.

Wonderful accommodation

This house is amazing! It is huge and we loved staying in it. We had young children with us and they loved all the space both inside and out. Igloo.scot are excellent to deal with too. A hot tub would be nice.

Lovely birthday weekend!

Very impressive house. So much space, very comfortable, loved the different seating areas and we enjoyed our brunches at the big kitchen table. There were 9 of us celebrating an 80th birthday and the house was perfect for us. Very good value for money also!

Fantastic size and location

Room sizes and cleanliness was fantastic. More basics in the kitchen, such as salt, pepper, oils. More big pots, as cooking for ten needs big pots.

Lovely stay in Nethy Bridge

High quality, large property, plenty of space, everything was very clean and new. The house was warm and had everything we needed. Easy access to the Abernethy woods and surrounding areas for hiking and bird watching. Perfect place for a long weekend stay for larger families and groups of friends. Thank you!

Wonderful property

We stayed 4nts in this wonderful property, but wish we’d booked for longer. We went with friends so 2 families with children aged from 7 to 14 and we all loved it. Spacious rooms and lovely big garden to play in, all enclosed so safe for children and our 2 dogs. Gorgeous area with loads to do nearby. Thank you 😊

Great location, lovely house for big family getaway

Very spacious house, big enough for my family, my brother and his family plus my parents. Stayed for a week and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Location is superb, plenty of things to do nearby to keep us all occupied. Great garden area we made the most of plus table tennis was a big hit A few minor snags, such as a loose toilet seat but sent details and very quick response to say they'll take care of it. Service is excellent

Very spacious, immaculately presented and great location

This was the perfect home away from home for us. Kids were delighted to find the ping pong table when we got there which was a pleasant surprise. Really well equipped, very spacious, very clean on arrival, comfy beds, great location. Really was brilliant. The area is great too, Nethy Bridge a lovely village with great local walks and a nice cafe, close enough to Aviemore and other areas with good tourist attractions. Will be back

Excellent family home

The house is amazing and in such a beautiful location. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. The bedrooms are great with very comfy beds. The living areas were fab and lots of space to sit and chat with family. We played many family games in the large living room or the dining room table. We literally could not have asked for a better home. Nothing

Fantastic Week

This is a superb house for a large gathering - it's not until you get inside that you realise how much actual space there is! Loads of parking and the garden is massive with a nice seating area. Great layout downstairs with the open plan kitchen, dining, TV area and sunroom. Impossible not to recommend and in a fantastic area. The oven struggled a bit - possibly the fan element wasn't working.
