we really needed a place to relax in and found it ideal, and having the open fire on at night brought back loads of happy memories. x

“This is a cosy cottage in a great ...”

This is a cosy cottage in a great location. It has a well-equipped kitchen and the open fire gave the children lots of fun toasting marshmallows. We also enjoyed watching the steam train going past the cottage. The second toilet was very handy. This was our third stay at Strathisla and we will definitely be back again.

“Liked the general area, in easy ...”

Liked the general area, in easy reach of hills and forests, and only 30 odd miles from the Moray coast. The house was comfortable and in a quiet spot. It was great to see the steam train going past the house, brought back memories of our childhoods. Aviemore has good facilities within easy walking distance.

“Brilliant location and clean!”

Great cottage located about fifteen minutes walk from the centre of Aviemore. The location is ideal for those who wish to walk into the town centre for a few drinks in the evening. The cottage is also ideally based for driving into town. The cottage itself is very well maintained and very clean and tidy. It has everything you could need for a very enjoyable week. There was more than sufficient cutlery, linen, towels and tea towels etc for every eventuality. Aviemore itself is an ideal base for visitors to the Highlands with loads of local amenities and a great base for hill climbing and country walking. The nearby Rothiemurchus estate also has lots of facilities for those who would like to try something more adventurous. I would highly recommend Strathisla to anyone.

The cottage is very clean and obviously maintained to a high standard. Both directions and key pick up were very clear and easy to obtain.

Strathisla was beautiful and in an excellent location. It had everything you needed to have a relaxing holiday. I look forward to booking it again and enjoying myself for another week.

“Knowing we could go back to the ...”

Knowing we could go back to the cottage after a day out was great. The cottage was very comfortable and was a great way to end our holiday. The cottage wasn't far from the town centre and a pleasant walk. Would recommend this cottage.

- Mrs Fainges, September 2015
“First class!”

Beautiful cottage, perfect location and pristine inside and out, large garden which is enclosed and perfect for the dogs to burn themselves out! Sun all day out front and at back of an evening. Easy walking distance to aviemore centre and to many lovely walks within the estate. No issues with the steam railway as it runs during the day time hours. Ideal cottage for families, couples, and for small pets. All in all,and considering we rent a cottage twice a year this is in the top two making it a ten from us!

“Absolutely fantastic accommodation”

The quality of this accommodation is absolutely faultless for either sole traveller or family. Everything has been very well thought out. Warm and cosy on those cooler days - yet cool and airy for warmer late spring/summer days. A great base to explore the Aviemore/Cairngorm/Inverness area. Will certainly recommend to friends as long as they don't want the week I would like next year!!

“Well thought out cottage in a perfect location for exploring”

A really cosy, well thought out cottage in an ideal location for exploring the surrounding area. We travelled with our two young children aged 5 and 2 who loved the open fire, snuggly blankets & hot water bottles provided. The cottage had everything we needed, it was lovely & warm after a cold day on the mountains. A short walk into Aviemore and right next to the steam railway line, lovely little gardens to play in & shed for storage of ski's/sledges etc. Lots to do nearby, the bridge inn has fab food & a roaring fire, we spent many an evening playing dominos here. Nearby, Loch En Eilien is a fantastic walk for little legs we encountered rain, sun, hail & even a rainbow on our adventure round (approx 3.5 mile). I would definately reccomend Strathisla to other families, a home from home.

“A cosy home-from-home”

Having searched extensively for good value, dog and family friendly self-catering accommodation in the Cairngorms, we certainly came up trumps with this one! The bungalow is super-cosy. We enjoyed a roaring log fire every night after a day exploring the stunning surrounds. The house is well equipped and beautifully furnished. Reading through the visitors book, we weren't the only ones to fall for the super-comfy sofas! We have been coming to this area for years and the house is perfectly located for the local amenities and still on the doorstep of some great walks and attractions. We have 4 and 5-year-old boys so it goes without saying that seeing the steam train go past out of their bedroom window has left them wanting to come back! We cannot recommend Strathisla highly enough and will certainly be coming back again. Thanks Allison and family!
