The location was rural and down a long track which we had no issue with as we had a vehicle and more than one driver in our group. We did try to use a local taxi company for a night out, however could not find a taxi company willing to collect us. This wasn't a deal breaker for us, however that may disappoint some guests. The property was absolutely stunning. Exceptionally comfortable, cosy and welcoming. The contact with the owner was good and prompt. We found all the facilities high end and of good standard. Nice thoughtful touches, lovely wine glasses and the log burner was an absolute delightful extra. All the bedding, towels etc were of high standard and very tasteful furnishings. We loved the rural location and the sheer peaceful surrounds. Loved watching the deer, pheasants and sheep from the windows. Could not have asked for anymore in this property and would happily return for another holiday.

This holiday home had everything you need for a quiet comfortable holiday. The kitchen utensils are well stocked with nothing left out. The beds were comfortable. The area very quiet. The surrounding scenery was lovely. The nearby town, Dufftown is a quaint town with a local Coop (15 mins) for anything you have missed on the main shop at Tescos or Asda in Huntley. About a 30min trip away.

Really great holiday. Came for mountain biking and distilleries, and this place is really well placed for both. Cottage is great! Lovely and quiet, really clean and well equipped. Excellent value for money as well. Thank you 🙏
