  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.

  The property was in a beautiful location and the views were amazing.

  We saw birds, squirrels, deer, splashed in the Loch and went for lovely, tranquil woodland walks. I loved the upstairs and everything we needed was there and more. We were very comfortable upstairs and spent loads of time on the balcony looking at the view. I was on the bunk bed and found the mattress a bit uncomfortable but guess it would be fine for tired children. The cottage wasn’t spotless there were patches of dust but it was clean enough. The main problem for us was that there was no reception on any of the mobiles we tried ( BT, Vodaphone, O2). We needed to speak to a vet urgently and none were contactable on What’s aap. It also became a bit frightening being there with an elderly parent. Obviously I get the “ getting a way from it all” principle and understand it’s the Highlands but I think there needs to be clear information about phones, reception and the facility of an emergency phone. I wouldn’t go again because of this. However it was peaceful and beautiful and feel a bit sad that there is this limitation for our family.

  We had an excellent weeks holiday at Challenger Lodge which we found ideal as a base for exploring the North coast of Scotland.

  Our party consisted of three adults and one dog and had plenty of space since the accommodation sleeps up to 9 persons. Challenger Lodge is spacious, well appointed, classily decorated and clean. The property is set in a secluded location with open views out to the loch and surrounding hillsides yet only 5 minutes by car to the town of Lairg where there is a Spar supermarket, fish & chip take away, hotel with bar and petrol station. There are several local wooded walks, both on the estate and in the local area with one good walk to a very private Loch Craggie along a logging road. A welcoming pack of basic essentials was much appreciated on arrival and the owner Shanta, who was visiting the estate during our stay, thoughtfully brought a dog bowl, dog bed and dog treats. We will be looking to make a return visit in the near future with other members of the family as the property is excellent value for money.

  Perfect retreat for escaping the rat race.

  Secluded but close enough (5 min drive) to local village for supplies, fuel, chips! etc.. Perfect base to travel out from to explore the Highlands, in a week we managed Castle of Mae, John o Groats, Loch Ness, Inverness, Dunrobin castle, the North coast road to Durness, Glenmorangie Distillery. Barn owl was a regular visitor, we heard the deer around but they were too shy to show their faces. Property was spot on, enough hot water to fill Loch Shin, WiFi all over the house fast enough to feed several Netflix hungry tired offspring with more gadgets than NASA .. So much space inside that the 8 of us could find seclusion when needed easy enough. The only downside was leaving, will be back again as soon as I recover from the 10 hour trip from the Midlands..

  Ferneytoun is a wonderful holiday property.

  We had a family get together here in June and we all had a great week. The property has excellent facilities and is perfect for families to get together and is also big enough so everyone has their own space. There is so much to do in the local area. Our group went biking in the local Tarland trails and on The Deeside Way which they thoroughly enjoyed. Bike hire from Ballater was very good and is close enough so you can bike back to the house (they also deliver). There are also some excellent walks nearby. The walk over to Tarland from the house has lovely views and is not too strenuous. We can highly recommend The Commercial pub in Tarland (they have a lovely wee beer garden). Highly recommend this holiday home, we’d love to go back one day.
