  • "Lovely house, in a great location in Granton-on-Spey."

    Very comfortable, very clean, spacious and private, well maintained with everything you need. Everything on your doorstep, especially the walks in Aganach Woods with the dog.

  • "Fabulous place to stay, beautiful home and central location."

    Lots of thought put in by the owners to make this cottage as welcoming and comfortable as possible. A few minutes walk away from town and easy access to woodland walks from the doorstep.

  • "An absolute gem of a property, a complete home from home."

    Very well maintained, it has everything you could think of to ensure our stay was both enjoyable and relaxing. Additional touches from our kind host was the icing on the cake and included bread, milk, marmalade, chocolates, shortbread and dog biscuits. Enclosed garden was enjoyed by our puppy with only a short walk to an amazing woodland area and the high street. Would absolutely recommend and hope to stay here again.

    Weather was fantastic and the holiday home was a treat to come back to at night. It is a very comfortable and well laid out cottage. Furnishings were very tasteful too. The garden is fully enclosed so our dog was safe and secure. Close by to a nice wee pub (Craig’s Bar) and only a couple of minutes from the High Street. The owner had left a welcome pack which was much appreciated. Probably the best holiday home we have stayed at.

  • "Bruach Gorm is a lovely house easily able to accommodate a party of 6."

    There is plenty of space and the rooms are a good size, with the added benefit of a garden if the weather is nice. It is tucked down a lane and is lovely and quiet, yet a short walk to the shops etc. The house is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. If cooking and dining in, the kitchen is well equipped. This is a great base for exploring the area. The Aviemore area is a short drive away and you can easily easily travel to the coast east of Inverness, the Speyside area, or further afield. Grantown has a good array of shops, if not their are supermarkets in Aviemore.
