  We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at Torbreck chalet, probably one of the best we've ever had!

  The chalet is perfect: warm, cosy and spotlessly clean. The owners include some welcome supplies for dogs as well as humans which was really sweet and very much appreciated. Thankfully we had wonderful weather so didn't need the towels or blankets for our dog, but Tate very much enjoyed the dog treats! The bed and settee were extremely comfy and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need. We actually stayed in and cooked every night and it was wonderful to relax in such a peaceful, quiet space every evening. The location is brilliant, you feel as though you are in the middle of the wilderness tucked away in the forest and we never saw people walking past on the walking/cycle route, but it's very close to amenities if you need to grab something from the shops or want to pop out for some food. There are lots of cafes and pubs recommended nearby in the very helpful guide in the chalet, which also includes lots of local info and manuals for things in the chalet (no faffing about trying to work out appliances)! We saw loads of lovely wildlife right outside the chalet including a roe deer. We enjoyed watching the bird feeders every day and seeing the antics of red sequirrels who were usually there most of the day, as well as countless species of birds, all right from our window. The chalet is very close to loads of beautiful walks. We only drove to go to a couple of places, and each time for less than 20 minutes. We visited Aviemore, Cairn Gorm, Loch Einich and Loch Insh reserve. We can only do 4 or 5 miles at a time (our dog only has 3 legs!) so if you want to walk further you can easily not have to drive at all while you're there. It was very quiet at all the places we visited and everywhere seems very clean and looked after too. By far our favourite walks were around the Uath Lochans right from the door of the chalet. The scenery is just stunning - in fact, of all the places we went that week, the lochans were the most beautiful spot for us to get engaged! We had the most perfect week and really can't recommend the chalet enough. We look forward to visiting again in the future :) thank you for such a brilliant holiday! Richard, Gracie and Tate xxx

  Chapel house is the right place to stay if you want to switch off and recharge the batteries.

  Lower Diabaig is absolutely stunning as is Torridon which is a short drive away through the mountain pass. Chapel house has most of the amities you need but I would advise taking extra logs with you during the winter months incase you cannot drive out to buy more. The fridge is a normal under-counter one with a small compartment for a freezer so not a fridge/freezer as we were expecting. Shower is not a walk in but more like a step in. If you are over 6ft you may struggle as my husband did. We didn’t miss having a tv one bit. The view is beautiful but you are located near the owners home & another cabin. There are more houses around then you realise so not totally remote. The small track leading to the cabin is rather untidy which can ruin the appearance of the area. Cleanliness of the cabin could have been much better. I understand cobwebs can appear over night but a few of these cobwebs have been there for weeks. Toothbrush holders could do with replacing or having a very good clean. Also shower grouting could do with a deep clean. Toilet brush needs replacing. Wasn’t expecting to find boxer shorts in the washing machine from the previous occupants, apologies to them but I did bin the boxer shorts. Fridge needs pulling out for a good clean as does the cooker. Cooker inside could also do with a deep clean. The outside steps leading up on to the cabin walk way could do with a handrail. As does the steps leading down from the car parking area. The cabin is set in a tiny woodland which you cannot walk through due to other properties. Apart from the level of cleanliness we did enjoy our stay for Christmas.

  We had a wonderful week at Torbreck Chalet.

  I had read all the great reviews and had high hopes - we weren’t disappointed. One of the best self catering places we have stayed in, and we’ve been lucky to stay in many over the years. The owners are friendly and welcoming, and as others have said, there if needed, but never intrusive. The chalet was clean, well equipped, super warm, dog friendly, with treats, blanket, towel etc provided for our little dog too. We cooked in the chalet most days (well equipped kitchen and a dishwasher) and we spent a lot of time in the warm cosy lounge resting and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We saw many bird species, a gorgeous red squirrel outside the kitchen window each morning and we even spied the Pine Marten too. There are lots of lovely walks straight from the chalet door, it is so peaceful and calming. We were very sad to leave, as was our little dog, but we plan to return again and explore more of the area and enjoy the chalet once again. A truly memorable and relaxing break and we would highly recommend this accommodation and area to anyone.

  What a great chalet in the most beautiful setting.

  After a warm welcome from Kevin, we entered Torbrek Chalet and found it to be clean, tidy and well equipped. The property is in the perfect setting with easy access to paths in and around the Utah Lochans and Glen Feshie. We enjoyed daily walks, long trail runs and bikes rides, most of which were done directly from the chalet door. It was a joy to watch the red squirrels, woodpeckers and various other birds feeding directly outside the chalet. We made good use of the local Loch Insh to paddle board, sail and eat. A must visit is The Old Post Office cafe in Kincraig; the food was amazing and Ann and her staff are wonderful-this is a short three mile walk (one way) from Torbrek. Torbrek Chalet was super comfortable and had all the facilities we needed. The WIFI (for those interested) was really quick and supported multiple devices. The heating was so efficient and made the chalet warm and welcoming. Thank you Kevin and Sharon for a great stay. We have already booked our next visit with you. Many thanks, Jon, Emma and Ayla

  Wow! No words can describe our experience.

  From the moment we booked until the moment we arrived home after our holiday everything was absolutely perfect. Mary and Merv were the perfect hosts from the information we received about the property to the Lemon Drizzle cake on arrival to the local information from Merv that led us to meet Callum! If you want peace and quiet, tranquility, peace of mind, just a place to get away from the world and recharge the batteries then this is the place to head to. The views as you approach the village are the best we have ever experienced - and we have seen a few! Be prepared for a drive every day - for us it was perfect but for some it maybe a little too quiet - it is set out of the way. Its a 20 minute drive to the nearest (the only) village store! We cannot rate this highly enough - like I said WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you Mary and Merv! Once I have some work dates sorted we are coming back next year if the Barn / Chapel are available for our dates.
