"Great location,nice property."
No welcome from the owners and no instructions on how things worked but nothing was to complicated.DVDs in a drawer but no player, tv a bit small and the pillows were hard.Well equipped and comfortable.

"Apart from no Internet/WiFi, the cottage is lovely and cozy, all you need for a very relaxing week away, there is a Cafe 1/4 of a mile down the road that does home cooking/toasties/sarnies/a range of coffee's and other beverages are also available."
The Deer Stalker Hotel 7 mile towards Dalwinnie does a range of meals if you don't want to cook on your hols. The Dalwinnie Distillery is a must and we enjoyed that as we took the 1 hour 45 minute tour with Robert being our guide (Top Man). We used the cottage as a base to rest at night as we were mostly touring during the day going to various locations. All in all we had a great week at Grouse Cottage, and if you do book up, look out for the heard of deer that gather in the field across the road, we saw them every night on our stay and counted 20 on two occasions. :-)

"A lovely property."
We had trouble finding it even with a sat nav.
Clean & a good place to use as a bace .could do with a new hot plate found it unusual there was no oven. Luckily we knew how to use a halogen cooker but an air fryer wouldn't go a miss all in all for our first time in Scotland it was a lovely property to stay in .

"A small cozy lodging for two people."
An old farmyard where the owner offers two cottages for rent. He lives on the premises and is kind and very helpful if you need assistance and information. No luxury, but all the basics for a nice stay.
The place looks out over the fields along the Spey River, where you can go for a walk (or you can climb up the mountain behind the cottage).
Special attractions nearby are the Highlands Folk Museum in Newtonmore, the Dalwhinnie Distillery, and the Stone marking the geographical centre of Scotland. All the nature and mountains of the Cairngorms are within reach. 15-22 June 2024

"Loved this place."
The views and surrounding countryside are stunning. Went for a walking/hiking holiday and enjoyed every minute (even with a few downpours!). The cottage is snug and tidy, double-bed is good and comfortable. No wif-fi or phone signal but that's what we wanted. The best place to relax.

"The directions need to be better, why go through Pitlochry when one has to use the A9."
On the northbound A9 take the Dalwhinne Distillery turning, stay on the road and after 5 miles you will pass the cottage. Simples
Also, the image of the cottage provided showed the rear of the building never to be seen from the road. A roadside image would be an advantage.
All in all a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.

"Deal location and a great view from cottage."
Easy access to nearby 'A' roads. Parking on site. Owner polite and helpful. On the downside, toilet flushing in the adjacent cottage is loud enough to wake you up at night. Lots of exposed copper piping throughout the cottage, a coat of white paint would help.

"Best cottage ever!"
! Out of tourist area so fair prices. You have to find out things for yourself in the cottage. Everything you need is there. So it feels like your own home. Owner always willing to help.

"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location!"
If you love the outdoors and the stunning scenery the highlands have to offer then stay here! Don't be put off by the remote location as everything you could need is easily accessible. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cosy, well equipped with everything you could possibly thing off. Maybe a blind in the bedroom for the sky lights but it didn't bother us too much.
The owner is what makes this cottage, very friendly and welcoming with plenty of knowledge too.
Will definitely be booking again and look forward to our next stay. :)

Very chilled getaway, facilities nearby in Newtonmore. Warm reception from host. Not that easy to find on arrival, marked as Lagg on Ordnance Survey maps.

"The location was indeed very central and stunning."
Glad it wasn't hot as the window in bedroom was high up out of reach. No real oven so glad we like salads ! Couple of cracked plates found, and cottage could do with spring-clean; basic clean done so that's fine. We had a power cut but this was resolved fairly quickly and the owner, when we finally met, had some good local knowledge on things to see. Plenty of heating and shower etc fine. But romantic, not really!!

"The cottage was warm and comfortable, perfect for exploring the surrounding area, the only real problem was find the cottage initially, the postcode in the satnav took us several hundred yards up and around a hill to other premises."

"Whilst the cottage itself was lovely, it wasn't clean enough and we transferred to alternative accommodation after two nights there."
This cottage will be great following a deep clean. Also, the pipe noise from next door is really loud, the central heating is controlled by the main house and not from the cottage and the skylights can't be opened. I can appreciate the end of the main holiday season is a tricky time to get things right but we were disappointed by what felt like lack of due care and attention to cleanliness of the property. Location was good and outside terrace garden very pretty.

"A nice little cottage."
Constructive:
The pan were dirty and required cleaning.
Water system is noisy and if someone in the other cottages uses over night then it may wake you up.
Needs an oven.
Skylight in bedroom has no blind so you will wake up early.
Could do with a folder explaining local area and restaurants etc.
Positives:
Great Location for exploring
Quiet despite being on road.
No mobile or wifi :-)

"What a fantastic and relaxing break."
This is a charming, rustic and traditional cottage set in quiet and scenic rural surroundings.
It had everything we needed, located close to some incredibly beautiful local sights. Lochs, hills, waterfalls, beach, the wolftrax bike trails and many more.
The owners were friendly, and full of local info. They couldn't have dome any more to welcome us.
We will be back...
