  The most wonderful accommodation in the most beautiful setting.

  The property is set back from the road surrounded by lawns, trees and shrubs, a secluded paradise in our opinion. There are forest walks in every direction. The lobby as you enter is a great space for taking off muddy boots and drying the dog if you have one. The washing machine and dryer are also there so no noise in the living area. The living area is open plan so is a very sociable and spacious space. The log burner is a great size, easy to light and keeps the whole place cosy, the starter basket of logs is huge. The bedrooms are all spacious with large mirrored wardrobe's (2 with dressing tables incorporated) and super comfy huge beds. I bedroom has an en suite, but we chose the bedroom with the bird feeder outside of the window. The property is spotlessly clean and everything you could imagine is provided. This is by far the best property we have stayed in and we have already booked to go back. Lynne and Simon are wonderful hosts and really do go above and beyond to make you feel special and to make sure you have the best holiday, the welcome pack is absolutely delicious, such a treat after an 11 hour drive. Like us Lynne and Simon are wildlife lovers and the bird feeders were full, Lynne had even made a fat cake for the bird table and boy do they get eaten quickly. We saw so many birds, long tailed tits, blue tits, coal tits, woodpeckers, Robins, blackbirds the list goes on, also red squirrels and even a Pine Martin. We felt very lucky. Absolutely 12 out of 10 from us.

  Culreach is a fabulous cottage in a fantastic location.

  Absolutely brilliant for dogs, totally secure and safe for dogs of all sizes, big and small there is no escape route! We have a large GSD who enjoyed the space and freedom to run around in the beautiful large garden. With woodland forest walks directly behind the cottage it truly is doggie Heaven! The cottage has everything you could possibly need. The owners have thought of everything. Culreach is clean, comfortable, cosy and very warm. Its so well cared for, home from home. Its amazing and very entertaining to watch all the variety of birds and the red squirrels who visit the well stocked feeders and bird table! Just lovely. Wildlife in abundance. The welcome basket was beyond anything we have had before. Outstanding. A beautiful display of Easter decorated cup cakes, scones and cream, homemade sausage rolls, cookies and a variety of home made jams. Oh and a bowl of chocolates as well as coffee, milk and tea. The owners Lynne and Simon are lovely people, very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Culreach is a great base for visiting many places, if you can drag yourself away from this beautiful cottage! Thankyou Lynne and Simon, we will be back.

  The house was ideal for our family holiday with ourselves (grandparents) and three families (our children and their children), so 8 adults and six children in all.

  The location is good for the whole of NE Scotland, although the main road outside the property is used by fast traffic so has to be approached with care. There is plenty of space for sleeping, playing, working, chilling out and most importantly for simultaneous food preparation for fussy kids using the multiple sinks, fridges, dishwashers etc. The house was clean and well presented when we arrived. The grounds are lovely with space for games, barbequing, eating and exploring. The caretaker John was helpful and attentive. He was very friendly. There were some minor negatives we have already informed John about: The matresses are badly worn and need replacement. The timeswitch on the tumble dryer is broken - it didn't switch off. And small children have to be watched on the upper landings as the bannister rails are widely spaced. But thank you - we had a great holiday. Everyone loved it.

  We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful lodge.

  It’s in a fabulous location - close to amenities but peaceful and very quiet. The highlight for us was the constant visitors to the bird table (including two woodpeckers) who kept us entertained! The view from the lodge is fabulous - we had snow during our stay which added to the beauty. Lynn (the owner) provided a goodie basket for us which was just delicious. The lodge is extremely comfortable and very warm. You really could just spend your time watching the wildlife - the hours would fly by! There are woods at the back of the property which we were allowed to walk in. We decided to have a walk in the woods at night which was eerie and beautiful (looking at the stars through the trees). The cafe at Nethy Bridge is very welcoming to visitors and the cakes are delicious. We genuinely did not want to leave the lodge. Highly recommended - go ahead and book, you will not be disappointed!

  Everything about our stay at this cottage was incredible!

  The hosts are the loveliest people ever, who went above and beyond to make our stay special. Everything was provided, clear instructions on check in, tips and recommendations for exploring the local area, even a goodie basket and fridge full of home baked treats left by the owners - which were delicious! The cottage itself is in a quiet and peaceful location, close to local amenities and a short drive to Aviemore and the Cairngorm mountains. The cottage is clean, warm, cosy and the perfect size for a family of 4. The cottage is extremely well equipped - we stayed over Christmas and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook our dinner, not something which is common in a holiday rental! We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to booking our next visit!
