The location is also fantastic - very quiet and (quite literally) off the beaten track! Grantown-on-Spey accessible on foot (about 1.5 miles) with plenty of facilities, and loads to do in the surrounding area: mountains, rivers, beaches... The only downside is the access track which is a bit rough and muddy in places - but not too big an issue if you take it slow!

What a fabulous stay we had! An amazing cottage set in a very remote forest. You wake up with the sounds of sheep and birds in the garden, with what I believe, surrounded by ancient forests of Milton woods, Drumindanan woods. (We did manage to spot some deers in the forests too) The cottage is a wonderful place to explore the Cairngorms from. It has eveything for a holiday cottage, it is very comfortable, clean and spacious, with beautiful decor and windows, for a very smooth cosy stay, and the log burning fire is wonderful. The rooms and bathrooms were immaculately clean, with lovely touches throughout, and the cottage is big enough for a group of 5-6. The owners have really thought about everyhting. We got lost on the way, however the hosts are very attentive, and communication is excellent. The only thing is the long road to the cottage could be improved as others have mentioned, with maybe more signposts. I would definitely recommend The Old Laundry - If you are looking to get away from it all and rejuvinate in beautiful ancient Scottish woodlands, but with the reassurance that everyhting is at your doorstep when needed (Grantown on Spey is 1 1/2 miles away with fantastic shops)- then this is the place. We are truly missing the beautiful location and cottage. I wish we could have stayed longer in Cairngorms. This is an ideal location to explore from.

The house has everything, very well equiped. Wildlife around the house - deer, red squirrel, birds - and very quiet and peaceful. Many things to do and see in the area.
