Summer holidays

A very clear and well equipped cottage and in a good location for exploring the beautiful Cairngorms. It is a very peaceful area with a local shop and two nice places to eat.

Highland Stay

It was super comfortable and in a great location for exploring around the Aviemore area! The house was very clean and comfortable with clear communication from the owners. Our two kids (4 and 3 years old) had an amazing time playing in the garden and used the DVD’s like their personal library. Would highly recommend this house for a stay!

Delightful stay in Boat of Garten

We loved our stay in Boat of Garten and the home couldn’t have been better. It was meticulously clean when we arrived, the kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you could need to comfortably cook in if you choose, and the travel cot and high hair were provided as requested. This home is clearly lovingly cared for and everything inside is in good condition. It really did feel like a home away from home. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Very nice and quiet cottage

We stayed at the cottage with three persons for ten days and really enjoyed the time. The cottage (especially the kitchen) is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. For us, the beds were very comfortable. As the house is at the end of dead end, it is a very quiet area. Garden furniture is available as well, so in the evening we loved to sit on the terrace and having dinner or some drinks outside. The communication with the owner was without any difficulty. Thanks again for allocating the cottage to us.

A relaxing holiday

The house was quiet, comfortable and convenient for wonderful walks and places to visit. It was well-equipped for eating in and we also enjoyed meals out in Boat of Garten. The owner was easy to contact and helpful in making our stay very enjoyable.
