    WiFi signal exceeded expectations given the remote location. Thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday lots of time spent in the woods making up games with our 4 year old and visiting some of the local attractions. This is the 4th time we have stayed in feshiebridge and this is our favourite property, will definitely be booking again next year

  • "We loved the cottage and the location, which was central for lots of walks and runs."

    L and we enjoyed the birds and other wildlife that visited every day/night. The cottage was clean, warm, comfortable and spacious for the two of us. The welcome pack of Scottish tea, coffee and tablet was a lovely touch. Our only gripe was the poor water pressure in the shower but that's probably not something easily fixed and certainly wouldn't put us off staying there again!

  • "We absolutely loved our 2 week stay here."

    What a fantastic location - so peaceful with just the sound of the river Feshie and birds. The cottage was perfect for myself, hubby and 2 spaniels, really well equipped (for humans and dogs!), very comfortable and relaxing with wonderful large windows to watch the birds on the feeder, deer and hares in the field. Plenty of great walks on the doorstep, easy access to longer walks into Glen Feshie, Loch an Eilean (and many more) and only a short drive to Aviemore, Rothiemurchus and the Cairngorm Ski Centre. Plenty of swimming opportunities too in nearby rivers and lochs! Lovely welcome pack of Highland blend tea bags, fresh coffee and delicious fudge on arrival, extra clean sets of bedding and spare towels. In our 15 years of coming up to stay in the Cairngorms, this has been our favourite - can't believe we didn't find you sooner! Thank you for a fantastic 2 weeks, we will be back.

    The cottage is spacious, comfortable and well equipped and in beautiful surroundings. We were surrounded by birds and animals and every morning woke to the sound of the river, only a couple of hundred yards away. We enjoyed walking from the property and there is a huge variety of things to do in the local area. This was our third visit and unlikely to be our last.

    Warm & comfortable with everything we needed for a great stay. If you want peace & quiet to escape, then this is perfect.

We have even recommended it to our friends & family.

    We would definitely stay there again, if we were in the area. We didnt cook much , but there was everything you could want in the kitchen, all in good working order. Lovely bed linen, duvets and pillows. Very sad to leave the two beautiful horses, we spent a lot of time watching them, it was like having two large pet dogs, always came across to say hello. Also saw the hare in the field.

  • "Tigh an Tearlach is a spacious but cosy cottage in a very quiet and beautiful location."

    It was spotless and warm, well equipped with many new additions since our previous visit two years previously. Despite its isolation the house is conveniently placed for visiting the whole Cairngorm region and is only 10 minutes drive from the Highland Wildlife park and 40 minutes from Inverness. There are lots of local walks and it is a perfect place to unwind. This is a very special place.

  • "Booked Tigh An Tearlach at short notice after being let down by another company."

    Great house set in a great location (Aviemore 10 minutes drive, Inverness 40). Lovely riverside walks right from your door and other more challenging walks via the surrounding forests and hills close by. Lots of wildlife around including hare, deer, squirrels and raptors. The house has everything you need (wifi works fine but no mobile service down at the house). Overall, Tearlach is ideal for a family with a dog or two - the short track down is not a problem and I have a small VW. It is close to an outdoor centre but that was shut when we visited so it was very quiet.

  • "The cottage is wonderfully remote but finding it was not helped by the property directions which begin ‘From the A9 turn off into the village of Kincraig."

    ..’ The A9 is a busy dual carriageway at his point so if arriving from the South vehicles need to leave just after Kingussie turning onto the B9152 which runs parallel with the A9 and Kincraig is on this road. Tigh An Tearlach is a surprisingly spacious bungalow. It was warm and comfortable and over the week we came to love the place. One downside was that the bath taps didn’t function but we noticed a spare in the utility room so this is clearly in hand. The shower worked well. The river Feshie is 5 minutes walk away and there are many signed woodland walks within a few miles. Native wildlife abounds and the Highland Wildlife park is only 10-15 minutes away by car, making an annual pass very good value, particularly as it also allows unlimited visits to Edinburgh and a number of other Zoos around the UK. We missed the crowds by having 3 early morning visits and had wonderful quiet views of the animals including, of course, Hamish, the young Polar Bear!
