  Cedar Cottage was an absolute delight to stay in.

  We found the position of Cedar to be really good because you had the views of the mountains in the glen, but also the pond. We have never stayed in a self catering property that was this clean upon arrival. The bed was comfy and so was the sofa. We felt we had a good level of privacy too, despite being amongst seven other cottages. Noise was not an issue. In fact, the only noise you would hear would be the sound of a Curlew or an Oystercatcher her or an Owl. We saw many red squirrels. In fact, the most red squirrels we have ever seen. The enclosed paddock behind 3 of the lodges was an absolutely awesome addition when you have a dog. This allowed for our dog to play safely with other dogs, socialise with the dogs, at the same time whilst we relaxed. But you do also have your own section of garden that is fully enclosed and private. We felt the lodge was mostly well equipped in the kitchen. We would suggest adding a mixing bowl for those that want to bake. And a yorkshire pudding tray of course. They do provide lovely scottish made toiletries and upon arrival, you receive a really lovely welcome pack. The walk down to the falls is lovely. There is a lot to do locally but bear in mind, despite being on the A9 road, you are isolated to some degree. We arranged for a Tesco delivery on the following day and we stocked up on fuel. The owners are really friendly here and helpful and always available on hand. Places we would suggest visiting are Pattack Falls, Cairn Gorm, Green loch, Creag Meagaidh, Aberfeldy, Blair Atholl etc. Aviemore is very dog friendly. We would visit again for sure. And we would actually choose to stay in Cedar again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  This is a lovely cottage which is well equipped and warm.

  The only adverse comment I would make is that more attention to detail regarding cleaning of some kitchen utensils - this would not stop me from booking the cottage again. We were quite surprised at how remote it was and after thinking that we had made a mistake we had the most fantastic week there. It was a different holiday as we are not what I would call walkers but even if you are not a "walker" there are some lovely easy walks to do. The cottage is located on a single track road, however, every road user we came across was polite regarding stopping in the passing places - of which there are many. You will enjoy the big dark skies and wonderful views across to the Outer Hebrides and spectacular sunsets. We were blessed with lovely sunny days and on one of our walks we spotted two white tailed sea eagles - fantastic..

  It was an amazing stay at Corner Cottage in Port Gordon.

  The cottage was definitely a home from home and so comfortable to stay in. Port Gordon itself does not have very much in it, a community café that runs a few days a week by volunteers and they were all just lovely. There is a Spar no pub, however Buckie is 2 mins in the car up the Road with a large Tesco and lots of stuff there. Beach is great and harbor for walks and enjoyed seeing the family of seals there. Great Access to all the Towns around spent time in Lossiemouth watching the jets which my son just loved. There is even a Car Charger out at the back of the house and we had an electric car so that was amazing. Thank you Tina the host who even returned my jumper I had left! HIGHLY RECROMMEND and we will definitely be back.

  The Laurels is a fantastic property.

  We have just spent a week in the house in beautiful Pennan. We were extremely lucky with the weather - beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house is thoughtfully arranged and well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom and shower room have good quality fittings. The kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't come across a 'house book' with instructions etc - there was not a problem - just wasn't sure if we missed it. We visited the Highland Games in Dufftown (great by the way) we bought some folding chairs to take with us - we have left these for the house in the cupboard in the kitchen - thought they would be useful for those lovely sunny evenings, sitting in front of the house taking in the stunning views.

  A real Gem.

  Tastefully modernised, decorated and furnished. Extremely well equipped. Comfortable. Good location. Dog friendly and with sea-side walks, a few metres from front door. Excellent communications and instructions from owners. WiFi, Television and heating systems are very good. We have booked a lot of self catering accommodation over many years - this ranks amongst the best. Owners have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into bringing this high quality cottage to the rental market. I would highly recommend, and book again. We were just a couple, and puppy. So had no need to even venture upstairs. Would be very comfortable for 4 and even six. You could book this property safely and not be disappointed.
