It was even better than the pictures, spotlessly clean, incredibly cozy, and had everything we needed. The location was peaceful and beautiful. We can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

is very unfortunate. We believed to have booked a remote cottage in the mountains north of and far from the A9. Instead the cottage is located inside Kincraig beside the B9152 which passes the garden and turned out to be very noisy from heavy traffic. Furthermore the images provided are not up to date esp. as far as the view out of the windows is concerned. You do not look out on to a nice meadow but at the houses of a new settlement. We recommend to let customers know this before booking. To find sleep in the first floor with the AGA oven set permanently to level 5 (as instructed by the owners) is a challenge when outside temperatures are above 25°C over the day and do not fall beneath 20°C at night. In the end we enjoyed our stay in Baldow Cottage because the surroundings are outstanding.
