! . Happen arrival we could see the place looked quite shabby from the outside and when we got inside it got worse . The smell that greeted you when we open the back door in to the kitchen was like someone had been to the toilet down the sink (number 2s) the work top edging had come away the hob was flithy the cupboards were sticky with grease . The front room was cold and damp 1 of the sofas was actually wet and there was a mixture of white dog hairs and dust blowing round the room like tumble weed . The main bedroom was advertised as having a king size bed but no that was just a standard size the bedding hadn't been changed and was stained with boderly fluids and the quilt was heaverly stained with yellow and brown makes (We had to go and buy new quilt and covers) there was no curtains up to the wardrobe the dust under the bed I've never seen any thing like it . The bathroom floor the tiles were broken and lifted about 1cm the floor felt very spongey like it could give way the shower head was squirting water on to the electric shower control unit . All the windows were dirty not just on the outside but inside to . Most of the picture on the site don't actually match what we were greeted with . There's no welcome pack no instructions on how to work things and we still never found the games room . The drive was advertised as been able to park 2 cars on it yep that was ture if you drive a smart car and are stick thin as the hedge is so overgrown . The owner didn't seem to care about the state of the place or what we had to put up with she ignored all attempts of contact . So all in all I would say avoid this like the plague IT was just so dirty and unkempt. NOT A NICE PLACE AT ALL !!

......a 'home from home'. It provided a good base for our holiday in Aviemore. It was a little way to walk to the centre of the village, but this wasn't an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, & wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Someone previously had snapped a key in the door meaning it was unusable. We then walked in the back to the kitchen, pure filth! Hob still had food on, and was filthy. Floor vile. Front room was covered in dust, furniture did not match pictures so dont be fooled! No welcome pack, had to try find out how to switch heating and hot water on. Bathroom was grubby. Toilet leaking and tiles on floor lifting with one broken in half! All silicone was mouldy! Only 1 of the spotlights worked! Bedrooms were dusty, found someone else's slippers under a bed and a broken rail presumably for curtains. Personal items from owner left all round the property! No garden furniture either! Needs a very good clean, tidy up of furniture and for worktops etc to be repaired! Never stay here again! We holiday In aviemore every year and will never return to this property!

The beds themselves were comfortable although the pillows were lumpy. The rubbish bins were full on arrival and didn't get emptied on the Monday as stated on the information folder. The plumbing and hot water system needs attention. The water boiled in the tank very quickly after turning the heater on. All hot water taps would only operate at a trickle so it was not possible to have a bath.

Quite spacious,but also very cosy indeed. A bonus to have a inclosed garden! Would definitely come again and would recommend :) the only downside ( for us ) No tumble dryer,as we like to walk, we did get wet on one occasion and had to dry clothes on towel rail! But hey we had a blast.

We arrived just after 3pm the cleaner was still in she couldn't speak English she had a young child with her who was sitting at the table eating a big tub of ice cream we had to go for a walk then when we did get in we had to clean the worktops they were a disgrace no light in the hall tiles coming up of the floor in the kitchen and bathroom beading coming of the bathroom ceiling slaters on the bathroom floor bins outside full no outside light I feel the owner should really give us a bit of a refund totally disgusted that they could let this cottage out in that state EA Moffet

“Clean and quiet.”

Situated in a nice street. Comfortable close to all amenities. Great starting point for surrounding areas. Well priced cottage. Will be returning.

The house was very clean and met all of our needs. It was also in a great location, not to far from town and only a 15 minute walk away. We also brought our 5 month English Springer with us and he had a ball. The garden was well secured and the perfect size for him. Would defiantly recommend this cottage and will be staying here again.

Freezer compartment in fridge was tiny and so iced over we had to chisel the ice away to get even one small bag of mince in there. One ring of the cooker didn't work at times. No bbq facilities (although not stated as present, was disappointing to not have any). Wheelie bins were already full when we got there which left little space for our own rubbish. I know it sounds petty but the bedding were really wrinkled and there was hair on one pillow which lead us to believe it's not been washed prior to our arrival. While the beds and sofas were comfortable it wasn't clean and not at all what I expected after paying over £500 for this property for the week. Disappointing... Won't be back or recommend to a friend.

“Cottage was ideal, location was great 15 minutes walk to Main Street.”

To crown it all weather was spectacular x no rain

Mrs Mccracken, May 2018
“Great location and quiet as away from main road, easy walk into town.”

The log burner is a god send on the colder nights and heats up in minutes,shop for logs is also very close Great four days

The property

This cosy semi-detached cottage is situated on the outskirts of the village of Aviemore and provides a neat and welcoming holiday home.

This cottage is ideal for a couple, a family group or a group of friends who want to enjoy this popular area together.

Ivy Cottage has a very well-equipped kitchen that leads though to the spacious sitting/dining room where meals can be enjoyed together around the table and also leads to the rear garden via the external door.

There are two freshly decorated bedrooms, one at the front of the house and the other overlooking the rear garden.

For visitors with bikes, golf clubs or even canoes then there is a garage storage area situated at the side of the cottage.

From this location the whole of the National Park is easily accessible and the array of activities is quite mind boggling!

Of course the ski areas are close by but even if you are not a skier taking a trip on the funicular railway journey up the CairnGorm Mountain is a unique experience and allows people of all ages and abilities to reach the Top Station where you not only get breathtaking panoramic views but can also enjoy a meal in the restaurant.

For wildlife lovers then a visit to the RSPB at Loch Garten is a must, as it is home to the ospreys in Scotland and the surrounding ancient pinewoods and beautiful lochs are quite stunning.

For the active and less active this area is simply magnificent.

Aviemore is a perfect holiday destination offering a diverse array of activities for both young and old and this is a great wee cottage for a great Scottish holiday!
