    Unfortunately the weather was awful for us so couldn’t go on any local walks. Only between 10-20 minutes for some great food to take back to the property. Sheltered hot tub great addition. Everything was super clean and we were comfortable. Always amazing to find a dog friendly place where we can let our dogs in the garden without worry of escape. Thank you!

    Donna the owner called shortly after my arrival, just to check everything was ok, and to give helpful advice on days out etc. The cottage was spotless and homely, and a lovely hamper with goodies for both myself and Ted my cocker spaniel companion was set out for us both, which was really thoughtful. We crammed in a lot of days out to various places such as Balmoral, Dunkeld, a visit to lunan bay beach on the east side of Scotland, which was beautiful. And the views from the living room as you relax are stunning, especially as the sun is rising in the distance in the morning, and then again at sunset. The garden is very secure for your four legged friend, and the hot tub is an added bonus. Everything you could want for is in the cottage, making it a fabulous place to call it home for the week. Definitely on my radar to return back to sportsman's lodge some time in the future.

    Facilities & cleanliness 1st class with excellent Wi-Fi for those wanting to stay in touch. Great local dog walking within a short drive & the Cairngorms can be reached within half an hour for the more adventurous. Would recommend this cottage for anyone considering a stay in this part of Scotland.
