Creag-na-Sanais

Lovely house and location, cottage very clean and well appointed.

We really enjoyed the close proximity to the farm animals and lovely views from the dining and sitting rooms. Perfect base for walking in the different mountain ranges. Only slight negatives were the landing and downstairs bathroom lights flickered unless we pressed them very firmly. It would also be helpful to have a named sign for the cottage by the road to make it easier to spot. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

We’ve had a really wonderful time at this lovely property.

We’ve stayed there 3 times and are due to have a fourth stay later on in the year. We love seeing the array of wildlife from birds of prey, deer, hare and wild birds of all kinds, also with it being a working farm you get to see the owners cattle, sheep and horses. The property itself is traditional looking and very comfortable and it has everything you need for your stay. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and it’s so quiet. We absolutely love it here and highly recommend it for your holiday.

Creag-na-Sanais is a lovely cosy cottage in a great location if you want to stay somewhere private ,quiet and comfortable with amazing views .

Located in a cental location makes it easy to explore the wonderful Highlands .

We stayed for three nights in this beautiful house.

At first we had some trouble finding it, but the hostess was very kind and helped us right away, eventually guiding us to the correct location. We really appreciated her help and hospitality. The house is very cozy and full of character, perfectly fitting its surroundings. Everything we needed was provided, and the house is spacious as well. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely amazing cottage.

Perfect location. Stunning views. Thank you so much for checking on us when the heavy snow came. Your help with clearing the drive was so much appreciated.

This is the perfect cottage for a relaxing Highlands break.

The owners went out of their way to make our stay extra special.

This was a wonderful, relaxing choice for a holiday in the countryside!

Our hosts were very responsive and friendly, the home was beautifully kept, and we really had a delightful time enjoying some rest and relaxation. We’d give this place our highest recommendation and plan to visit again in the future.

We had a really wonderful time staying at this lovely property.

It had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed seeing the wildlife and the livestock. The setting was breathtakingly beautiful. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Another lovely stay at this well-equipped and beautifully situated house.

Lovely cottage ,cosy and very well furnished , clean and very well laid out Beautiful views to die for , idea location for us ,easy to get out and about visiting various locations Lovely experience and definitely loved our week away , such a delight , fully recommend this cottage , will be back

Nice with sheep !

Big house for us (couple with 1 daughter) this stay was very relaxing.

This cottage was stunning and set in the most beautiful location.

It was just as advertised and exceeded all of our expectations. Lovely host and a lovely welcome basket on arrival. Beautiful property in the most beautiful of locations. Thank you.

Lovely cottage with amazing views.

The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable and peaceful. Watching the animals on the farm and the wildlife was very relaxing and entertaining. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay - thanks!

Fantastic place in a lovely location with fantastic hosts hope to come back for many years to come

If anything the listing didn’t quite do the cottage justice.

It’s a lovely cottage with plenty of room for a family of four, with fantastic scenery and wildlife on the doorstep, and good access to many different parts of the Highlands.

Cathy was a lovely caring host who explained things to us about the house and gave us helpful information about the area.

The house is well equipped and situated in a lovely location. Google maps does not have the house marked, so you need to rely on the written directions to find it. We enjoyed seeing the new lambs and calves in the nearby fields. The house was warm and heating worked well. It might be wise for visitors to leave a gap between showers to have enough hot water. The type 2 EV charger on the outer wall was really helpful to have and easy to use with our own cable. Thanks for a great stay.

A wonderful cottage.

Great views. A very warm welcome from host Cathy. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable. Great walks and drives. Great location

Gorgeous cottage and views.

Very clean and warm. Plenty of wood for fire. Cannot fault anything. Thankyou to the owner

Lovely property, we really enjoyed our stay here.

It was exactly as described, very clean and tidy. It was a great base for us to explore from and would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you

This was our second stay and was as lovely as last time .

Kathy is very welcoming . The cottage is very cosy and very well equipped. Views from the windows of the spey Valley and mountains are amazing. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to family events so we would love to return

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful setting.

Lovely welcome from the owner on arrival. Just perfect.

Despite storm Bert and freezing temperatures the property was warm and cosy .

Friendly helpful owners and the cottage is in a beautiful location.

Just love this place great outlook in the valley cow's sheep deer all types of birds.

Good place to tour from 4th time here. Won't be the last. Thanks Cathy and archie

Our 2nd time staying at this lovely cottage.

Very spacious accommodation with great views from the dining room across to the hills. We are hillwalkers and had exceptional weather for November. The cottage is ideally placed for trips to the Cairngorms, Loch Laggan or Glen Spean to the west. Highly Recommended.

Lovely spacious cottage, had everything we needed and more.

Very clean and tidy, open fire a bonus in lounge. Lovely surroundings the views are stunning. Will definitely be returning and will be recommending to family and friends.

We have stayed in many rental properties in Scotland and would say that this is probably one of the best if not the best cottage we’ve stayed in

I have been coming to the Highlands for 20 years now and this is by far the loveliest place we have stayed well equipped fantastic views extremely comfortable and lovely people

We stayed for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year.

This was by the far the best cottage we have ever stayed at. Very warm cozy cottage.It was in a fantastic location, the views were amazing. The owners were very welcoming.

A great house.

Lovely and warm and a fabulous location.

Lovely property, spacious and comfortable

This was our second visit this year to the cottage.

We wanted for nothing during our stay. As it was November, the heating was more than adequate and the open fire in the front room was laid ready for us should we want to light it. Touches like home made cake for us on arrival, sample teas etc added to the experience. Add to that, the beautiful countryside; what more could you want.

Without a doubt the best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in.

The property was spotlessly clean and in a fabulous location. We especially enjoyed watching the wildlife from the sun room. We received a warm welcome on arrival and the addition of a welcome tray with tasty flapjacks was much appreciated after a long journey. We would definitely recommend a stay here and we will be returning.

wonderful cottage extremely clean and well equipped.

the question would i recommend to people and would i stay there again ? yes to both. we had a wonderful time there spent most of time in the dining room/conservatory.

Excellent cottage with everything you could possibly need provided.

Comfortable and extremely clean.

Very comfortable and provided all we needed.

Cathy, our host was welcoming and available should we have need of anything. The location was wonderful and convenient for visits around the area. Highly recommended.

Excellent accommodation well situated in a lovely location.

Welcomed by Cathy to a lovely warm, very clean and well equipped spacious house.

Comfortably furnished and with plenty of logs for the open fire (we didn't need it as the central heating excellent) also a good selection of books, games and DVD,s Smart TV and Wi-Fi good. There are everchanging views from every window especially in the Sun / Dining room. It's just a short scenic drive for shops and amenities. We were quite content to just sit back and relax and watch the wild life and the comings and goings of life on a busy farm but there is plenty of information for those who are more adventurous. We had a lovely holiday and hope to come back again. A & C March 2023

What a wonderful place to stay in the Highlands, the cottage was very well equipped, comfortable, clean, warm and cosy and extra special with the open fire going in the evenings also amazing views from all the windows especially the dining room .

Cathy and Archie where excellent hosts and we would love to return .

Great place to stay

A real gem in the Highlands, in a prefect isolated peaceful location yet easily accessible from the A9 We were really luck to have loads of snow which really added to our cottage experience with the open fire and sheep all round our Christmas stay was idyllic Very friendly and helpful owners

What an amazing cottage.

Was welcomed by the host who was friendly and helpful. The cottage was warm, spacious and had everything we needed for a few days walking in the area. Great views as well. We’d love to book it again.

lovely house,lovely area.

owner very nice and helpful

Absolutely brilliant stay here, and would highly recommend.

Clean, comfortable and amenities only a few miles away. We were given a warm welcome with homemade cupcakes and Cathy was warming and welcoming upon meeting her. If you’re looking for a relaxing holiday with beautiful views to start and end your day, come here, you won’t regret it!

Extremely well equipped and offering excellent views in a central setting.

Spacious inside while the living room retains a cosy feel especially when the log fire is burning.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

Fantastic stay, wonderful location, peace and quiet and a very helpful/welcoming host.

We will be back!! Thankyou!

What a marvellous holiday home!

We loved the wide open views from the dining room and enjoyed the comfort of living for a week in such a homely and well equipped place. It's got everything you might need. Lots of activities to do in the area as well. One of the best in Scotland, we reckoned.

Absolutely fantastic host.

Lovely thoughtful welcome pack. Outstanding natural scenery with so much wildlife around (hares, rabbits, weasel, lambs, all sorts of birds on the bird table) plus lambs and calves. Plenty of logs and kindling for the fire. Loads of space, great shower.

Cozy holiday cottage, stunning location with lovely views, friendly owners and good value for money.

Had a lovely holiday cottage was lovely comfortable and warm views were breathtaking everything we could wish for would definitely recommend.

Amazing place, very cosy ,and such lovely friendly owners we just didn't want to leave!

We can't wait to go back xx

Beautiful property, peaceful, lots of information, books, cds, had everything You need.

Cathy was lovely explained everything and advised on walks nearby. It was lovely watching the sheep dogs rounding the sheep. Beautiful views and walks

the lady was nice and helpful.

the stay was everything we wanted.we had t0 leave a few days early as my sister passed away.we have b00ked again f0r 0ct 22.

Ideal and centrally located for many biking trips

Lovely house, friendly owner, beautiful location.

Only comment would perhaps be that a dishwasher may be a good addition!

Possibly the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in.

Owners went above and beyond, the children did not want to leave. Such a relaxing place with breathtaking views. Highly recommended!!

Lovely, comfortable house in beautiful setting.

We spent most of out time in the sun room, the views were stunning. Cathy very friendly and helpful. We hope to return soon!

The house was in a lovely location with stunning views for miles.

Lovely clean house with all the facilities you need to enjoy your holiday. Would definitely recommend to Family and Friends. Many Thanks to Cathy for making us so welcome.

Cathy was very friendly and available if needed.

A lovely cottage with over and above extras. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the bed was so comfortable.

We have been at least 4 times and as before the cottage was lovely and clean and a lovely welcome from the owners.

It has great views from the sunroom and is ideally situated for some great walking. It was lovely to come back to a lovely warm house each day. We found the local coffee shop and gallery in Laggan very welcoming.

Excellent cottage, warm, well supplied with logs for fire, towels, very comfortable, stunning views,every creature comfort.

Liked the welcome from the owner who left homemade cake and a pint of milk. Highly recommended and would love to stay again.

Lovely spacious comfortable cottage in great location for touring around the Highlands.

The owners were on nearby farm and had fresh eggs and other home made produce if you required it (honesty box).Mountain hares seen daily on front lawn,woodpecker and other birds seen on bird feeders in front of fabulous mountain views.Only problem was that a week was not long enough ! We shall return to this cottage that really made you feel at home.

Creag-na-Sanais is in a stunning location and well placed to explore the Cairngorms and the wider area.

Plenty to do, whether exploring by road, bike or by foot. Owners very friendly, and on hand next door if needed. The cottage was generally well maintained and very comfortable albeit could do with some modernisation with some of the furniture tired. It was generally clean throughout albeit the cooker hood could do with some attention. The heating oil ran out after a couple of days but the owner very quickly tried to deal with this with additional oil and was very apologetic. This didn’t affect us as we had the open fire in the evening and hot water via the immersion heater.

This cottage is in a wonderful position.

The views are amazing and the surrounding area is beautiful. We explored a lot of the Highlands from this base. The house was clean and well equipped and the owners were kind and helpful.

Creag-na Sanais cottage very cosy and we thoroughly enjoyed our week in the highlands.

Beautiful scenery all around and very relaxing.Looking forward to our next visit already :-)

Lovely cottage, with everything we needed for our stay and lovely location with great vies and peace and quiet.

The only improvement (as others have also said) would be the TV could do with replacing and a working DVD player would be useful, though we got around the latter using the PS2 that was there. The mattress was very hard, though this is a personal choice, some may like it like that but we ended up buying a mattress topper to make it more comfortable.

Lovely spacious cottage with superb views to the Monadhliath Hills from the dining room.

Excellent base for hill-walking and touring the region. Highly Recommended.

Needs new tv.

Brilliant cottage with wonderful views.

Nothing better than going hiking and then coming back for a coffee in the sunroom and then chilling out infront of the fire. Super shower. Loved watching all the wildlife from the sunroom- hares, pheasants, sheep, cows and birds. My new happy place.

Wonderful location perfect for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland

Wonderfully relaxing, stunning views from most aspects of the cottage.

Views as enjoyable in wet weather as good. Attentive owners, but not intrusive. It was good to be prewarned about shops for groceries. The milk and biscuits were much appreciated after a long journey. You can’t criticise perfection!

Beautiful house comfortably furnished and well supplied with cooking and eating utensils.

Archie came and introduced himself just after we arrived and told us they were just across the field if we needed anything but didn't disturb us in anyway.The farm has an honesty box selling fresh free range eggs etc. We can vouch for them being free range as we watched the chickens running around the field every morning. The views are amazing in all directions and from every window. It's so peaceful and quiet, you would never guess it's only 10 mins from A9, so easy to get around. 15mins to Newtonmore. 20mins to Kingussie. We drove to Kingussie one morning and ended up driving a wee bit more and a wee bit more because of the wonderful scenery until we found ourselves in Fort William. Didn't mean to do that. Aviemore is just a short drive North. Dalwhinnie a short drive south. Woke every morning to the sound of swifts and sheep. Could have spent the day being entertained by the antics of the swifts. Lots of really nice coffee shops with fresh home baking.

great cottage, like home from home

We spent a great week in this really lovely spacious cottage that the owners have made a home from home.

The views from the cottage were amazing with wildlife passing the windows including dear, pheasant and birds. It was also pleasant to see the farmers cows and sheep close up when they were having their daily “munch”. The highest compliment to give would be that we would gladly live in this cottage.

A lovely cottage ,nice and peaceful ,not far from aviemore and cairgorms mountains ,would reccommend highly.

Second time using Skye Cottages and staying at Creag-n-Sanais.

Beautiful views, great location. Kathy is always very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely be staying again. Thanks.

The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful - they even got out of bed at 1am to let us into the cottage with a smile!

The house was lovely - in a great setting and was larger than we anticipated.

The house was warm, spacious and very comfortable, so warm we hardly used the fireplace.

Handy location for biking at Laggan Wolftrax, and the bike storage was greatly appreciated. The shower was fantastic too, i really miss it!

This cottage, and its host, are both absolutely wonderful.

You couldn’t find enough superlatives to describe it fully.

Friendly and obliging owner, fantastic views and everything in the property worked.

Very easy access and spacious car parking, very comfortable rooms and large well thought out kitchen. Would certainly recommend. I could live there for sure. ;)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Creag-na-Sanais.

It really is a fantastic cottage set in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The location and scenery are stunning, we especially loved the peace and quiet and being so close to nature. The dining room has windows on three sides giving lovely views across the fields and mountains. The cottage is packed with literature giving great information on local walks and all the many things to see and do in the area and further a field. The owners kindly left milk and delicious cakes for us on our arrival which we thought was a lovely touch. We very much hope to return to this lovely cottage and would recommend it to our friends and family. This truly is an absolute gem of a place. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!

Spacious cottage with everything you could need.

The cottage was perfect for our break away.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect to get away from it all, but also within driving distance to many local attractions. We would definitely recommend Creag-na-Sanais to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in beautiful countryside.

Stunning house with a lovely view.

Superbly equipped nothing to fault I'd love to live on it I like it so much. Cathy is very helpful nothing is too much trouble. Perfect location if you love wildlife and the outdoors.

Beautiful cottage situated in the Scottish Highlands.

Amazing views and well kitted accommodation. Will be visiting again.

Absolutely brilliant - couldn’t fault it.

Have already booked again for 2 weeks next year as 1 week wasn’t enough in this fantastic cottage !

We loved the location and the peaceful surroundings it was lovely to look out onto open fields instead of loads of noisy traffic for a change and it was nice and quiet.

Have visited three times, excellent base excellent cottage.

Don't hesitate

Great cottage with lovely views in a superbly quiet location.

We will be back next year.

The property and the location has been wonderful.

Tranquillity with very panoramic views and yet easy to access fortwilliam to the west, Aviemore the cairngorms and on up the A9 to the north with Pitlochry and more to the south. Star watching was easy with such dark sky's. The property was warm and cosy, didn't get to light the open fire. Thank-you for a relaxing week.

This was our first time in Scotland and the cottage was perfect.

The directions were good and we located the cottage easily. We looked forward to returning to the comfort of our temporary home at end of each day. Facilities were numerous and we found it lacked nothing. It was tranquil and peaceful, just what was required. Loved our 'neighbours' the sheep! We would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Location

The cottage was clean, comfortable, large and all equipment that you could want, in a pleasant location.

Cathy and family were friendly and helpful, giving details of events in the area. The cottage had many little extras in the food line, plus wine to purchase if you forgot yours. The Glen Hotel in Newtonmore was good the staff friendly and food excellent, one of many recommendations from the cottage info.
