“A beautifull cottage in a brilliant location.”

The house was very cozy and was very well equipped. Easy walk into town and a variety of walks on the doorstep.

Mr Clark September 2020

“Super cottage.”

Facilities first rate. Five minutes walk to Main Street in Grantown-on-Spey & five minutes walk to local pub. Woodland walks within 2 minutes walk Great base for exploring Speyside- 20 to 30 minutes drive to Aviemore & the Cairngorms

“We chose Drummond Cottage because it is dog friendly.”

It is located in a quiet street which is a few minutes walk away from the centre of Grantown with its shops and restaurants. It is also very close to Anagach Woods and its woodland walks which are ideal if you have a dog. The cottage was very clean on arrival and all of the necessary COVID precautions had been taken and we immediately felt comfortable and at ease. The owners live in the cottage next door but other than a welcome chat to make sure everything was as expected, we saw very little of them. The cottage is well equipped and has a smart TV with Netflix and a DVD player - bring your own DVDs as a result of COVID. Wifi signal and download speeds were good. The kitchen had everything we needed and having a washing machine and tumble dryer is always a bonus. The beds were very comfortable and the downstairs shower was a good size and powerful. We found the lean-to particularly useful for drying our wet dog after a couple of rainy walks and great for drying out muddy boots.There are plenty of good walks around Grantown but if you feel the need to explore further, then Aviemore and the Cairngorms are very close. We also took a trip up to Forres, Findhorn and Lossiemouth, enjoying a great walk on the beach at Burghead, all of which are within an hour's drive from Drummond cottage. Highly recommended.

“Dog friendly and forest walks only three minute walk from house.”

Town centre five minute walk and Aviemore only fifteen minutes by car. House itself was spacious with smart tv in lounge complete with netflix. Owners have house next door and couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this property and Grantown is a beautiful place for a stay vacation.

“The house had everything and more, it made our New Year family holiday very special giving us wonderful memories.”

It was by sheer chance that I found Sykes Cottages which then enabled me to find Drummond House. I would definitely use the company again, and we will certainly stay af Drummond House again when visiting the Highlands as a family. Once again, Thank you From The Ralston Family

“Warm, clean and comfortable.”

Drummond Cottage was a great base for three generations to explore the local area.

“Sykes very professional to deal with and the accommodation was excellent”

- Mr Fraser, September 2019
Miss Gordon June 2019

“A fabulous location to explore the region.”

A comfortable home with everything you need. The locals are all very friendly, especially in Craig Bar. The only suggestion I would say for perfection would be to have one of the twins as a second double room.

Mrs Bent June 2019

“Lovely, well equipped house in ideal location for walking and touring.”

- Mrs Bent, June 2019
Mrs Nation May 2019

“The house was really clean and you could tell the owners took great pride in it.”

A real home from home, easy to live in and we felt comfortable from the minute we arrived. A powerful shower downstairs and comfy mattresses also massively helped. Despite the weather, we had a great week.

- Mrs Nation, May 2019
Mr Little May 2019

“Very comfortable house.”

Within easy walking distance to the town centre where you can choose from a number of restaurants. Excellent base for exploring the Cairngorms.

Mrs Sawyers August 2017

“Suberb cottage.”

The owners are readily available to assist, but not in your face. Location is only a few minutes walk from centre of Grantown on Spey. We would definitely stay here again.

Mr Arnold June 2017

“Drummond Cottage is the best holiday cottage we have ever booked in a long touring career.”

The house is roomy, comfortable and immaculately clean. The shops and eating places are only a couple of minutes' walk away. and the owners, who live next door, are extremely helpful and friendly, and left us generous provisions and flowers on arrival. I would happily recommend the cottage to anybody.

“Excellent”

Three day stay in this charming spacious house,ideally situated in a quiet road,within walking distance of the main st,glorious walks through the woods to the river,and all that the Cairngorms national park has to offer. The house is so spacious and well thought out,equipped to a standard normally lack in holiday let's,and the wood burner is a welcome luxury on those chillier nights. The owners of this delightful haven could not be more accommodating,and the lady of the house is a STAR baker,producing the most delicious cakes and delights for a host of local businesses. I can it recommend Drummond cottage enough,our stay was for a sad family event and the house,and hosts provided a tranquil haven away from the stress...a joy to stay there,and looking forward to a return visit soon. Colin

“A lovely, spacious cottage”

We booked this cottage for a long weekend. It is a lovely, spacious, cosy and well thought out cottage. It is located in a quiet street but only 5 mins walk to the High St of Grantown with plenty shops and eating places. It was a cold weekend so the wood burning fire was lovely to have. It has a separate well-stocked kitchen and it was lovely to find the owner (who lives next door) had left us bread, milk, butter, homemade marmalade and a bottle of wine! The cottage is located close to the woods which has many woodland walks - it also has a fully enclosed garden which makes it ideal for those with children.

“Drummond Cottage is a lovely, welcoming environment and immediately felt like home: its cleanliness was immaculate, Granton-on-Spey's setting is beautiful and Tom and Clare had made lots of small touches like leaving fresh flowers out, along with a welcome box of chocolates.”

Whether we were looking for good access to Aviemore / Cairngorm Mountain, closeness to other local attractions like the Landmark Forest Adventure Park in Carrbridge or just to walk straight out the door and enjoy ambling along the banks of the Spey, it ticked all our boxes. When back at home, Drummond Cottage has a beautiful wood-burning stove in the living room for everyone to sit around and relax by, along with a large flat-screen TV with satellite and a good selection of DVDs with something for everyone all the family to enjoy. The kitchen is well-equipped and the washing machine and tumble-dryer even allowed us to keep on top of our washing so dirty clothes from a day playing out in the snow could be clean and dry for the next day's fun! The cottage also has 1 king and 2 twin bedrooms with generous space and walk-in wardrobes, as well as an extra single bedroom: enough to sleep all 6 of our family, including a teenage boy and a toddler, as well as two girls in between. The cottage also came with a pop-up cot and high-chair (on request) which were in great condition and very useful, as well as a table that would seats 8 comfortably (we had my parents-in-law, who were staying in Aviemore, over to dinner once during our stay and it sat all of us easily). Tom and Clare, who live next door, were helpful and attentive when we needed any help (e.g. to ask to borrow a spare set of keys so we could go two different places one day). Our main problem, with 4 kids, was always going to be leaving Drummond Cottage in as pristine a condition as we found it in, but we did our best. We hope that we'll be able to have the opportunity to visit again before long. We are sure many others will love staying here too - thank you for our stay and we hope to be back soon! Andrew and Liz
