Great location

Excellent location especially if you have dogs as there are several walks from the house. Spotlessly clean and nice welcome treat

A lovely holiday cottage in Boat of Garten

Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mallachie. The house itself is spacious and very cosy. The garden is large and secure if you have a dog. The dog loved his runs in the garden. We definitely would stay at Mallachie again and we hope to do so in the near future.

A wonderful property in a fabulous location

We had a wonderful week in Mallachie. The house is really comfortable, with lots of space to relax, and is very well equipped with all you could need. The kitchen was particularly well equipped - a real bonus when cooking for a group. The location is very special too, with red squirrels jumping between branches of the trees behind the kitchen window, and lovely woodland surrounding the outside spaces. Highly recommended...

Perfect location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mallachie. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. It was in a great location very close to the River Spey, with lots of red squirrels in the garden and surroundings. A lot of care had gone into making sure we had everything we could possibly need which was just lovely. We had a very memorable stay and we will definitely be back.

Fantastic, homely, well equipped property in a great location

We returned for a second time, after a lovely stay last year, for a family holiday. The property is really clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We had regular visits from red squirrels and a range of wild life. The secure garden was enjoyed by our grand daughter and the dogs. There are great walks right from the door, access to local cafes and a shop plus the opportunity to watch the steam train 6 times a day. We hope to return next year.

Great stay, as always

Fantastic property and fantastic location, great wildlife, great bike rides and loved eating at Andersons. Added bonus, saw a scottish wildcat. Our 2nd stay here, we also love Mallard. The only thing to mention, is there was no pen to sign the guestbook, we couldnt fill it in last time either. We would recommend a couple of sunloungers or comfy seats for the garden - just for when the weathers great and you want to read in a compfy spot outside. Will definately be back, its one of our favourites.
