Fabulous home in beautiful, quiet surroundings. Ideal base to explore Cairngorm National Park.5 minute walk to restaurant/bar/local shops. Great local walks if you don't want to go drive. Very close to Loch Garten and the Osprey Centre.Close to Aviemore, Loch Morlich and Cairngorm Ski Centre or head north to follow the Whisky Trail - all within an easy drive. The house is modern, spacious and well equipped. Would definitely book again when next visiting Speyside.
A well equipped house, with plenty of space for the whole family to relax. Bedrooms were very spacious and whole house was spotless. Having the large enclosed garden was super too. Great location for walks, hotel is just at the bottom of the road for food and drinks and close to more amenities in Grantown and Aviemore.

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!
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!

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.
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.
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!

60th Birthday Suprise
Loved the house layout was great for family and friends to catch up. The beds were extremely comfortable and the showers were great. The garden being fenced was fantastic for the dog.
Nothing.
We stayed 4nts in this wonderful property, but wish weโd 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 ๐

Hi Tom, thanks for the great review. The guest instructions are emailed and a touchstay guide is sent to you but sometimes this may not get through email and channel filters. We truly hope that you might return one day and enjoy Nethybridge once again.

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

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

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
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!

About the host
Hosted by igloo.scot
Erin Having worked in tourism for many years, I felt now was the time to give people the sustainable choices that are increasingly important to us all. So using my extensive knowledge of the local market, I have created igloo with Nick. I understand fully the needs of owners and guests, having worked in the industry for a considerable length of time in management roles within rentals, sales and lodge services.
What I love best about the job is the customer satisfaction. Ensuring that everything is as it should be when my guests arrive and that they are kept well informed before, during and after their stay. I love it when people call and you really get a chance to get to know them.
I have been brought up in Aviemore, as were many generations of my family before me. So I bring a deep rooted sense of love and responsibility to the area that I live in. Nick I have had two passions for as long as I can remember - Travelling and The Highlands.
Growing up here in the Highlands, I have always been passionate about its history, places, people and our world class food & drink. I am particularly fond of our local craft beers!
I love to travel and I've always enjoyed getting off beaten track and experiencing things like a local. There is no better way to do this than self-catering.
Starting igloo with Erin not only allows me to combine these two passions but brings together my design, marketing and management skills built from a varied career across the public and private sector.
