    Thank you Patsy for being a great host, even though you were away yourself you ensured we had everything we needed and were enjoying our stay. We hope to visit again soon.

    The owners have put a lot of thought into the house and the welcome pack was much appreciated. There is also lots of information on Newtonmore and the surrounding area regarding walks, eating out and other recreations. We would highly recommend Thistle Dhu to anyone wanting a holiday in this area.

    We booked this property for the October school holiday, a group of four adults and two children, and it was excellent. The owners have really taken the time to think of everything you could need from a lovely welcome hamper to a wardrobe full of games, books and dvds. The house is very spacious and cosy with an extremely well equipped kitchen. The beds are very comfy and all bedrooms are a good size. Outside there is a great garden and also a storage (lockable) shed for bikes. From the house, there are many walks and bike paths and the kids and some adults also enjoyed golf at the course which is across the road. Newtonmore was a great base with some nice hotel bars, restaurants and cafes. We would highly recommend this house, one of the best we have ever stayed at!
