A fabulous house in a great location
This property was all it claimed to be for our family of 10. Very spacious indeed, we didn’t even use the lounge as the weather was great and the conservatory suited us fine! The children loved the table tennis in the garage and the ample outdoor space. The surrounding area was great for walking and cycling and we enjoyed travelling to lots of different places, Findhorn beach, Inverness (by train) , Balmoral, Ballindalloch castle, as well as the Cairngorms and all its activities, quad biking, zip wiring, cycling and walking. Something for all of us, from grandparents to children.

Great stay
We booked Braeside to celebrate my mums 70th and it did not disappoint! The photos don't do it justice. The house was beautiful, easy to find and had everything we needed to have a fabulous weekend. Perfect base for visiting Aviemore, Grantown on Spey, Boat of Garten etc. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Lovely birthday weekend!
Very impressive house. So much space, very comfortable, loved the different seating areas and we enjoyed our brunches at the big kitchen table. There were 9 of us celebrating an 80th birthday and the house was perfect for us. Very good value for money also!

Lovely stay in Nethy Bridge
High quality, large property, plenty of space, everything was very clean and new. The house was warm and had everything we needed.

Wonderful property
We stayed 4nts in this wonderful property, but wish we’d booked for longer.
We went with friends so 2 families with children aged from 7 to 14 and we all loved it.
Spacious rooms and lovely big garden to play in, all enclosed so safe for children and our 2 dogs.
Gorgeous area with loads to do nearby.
Thank you 😊
