  • "This is a wonderful cottage."

    We are a family of 5 and this cottage gave us space to spread out. The beds were wonderful and the kitchen well stocked. There is a nice grassy area and a separate patio at the back of the property. The location is prime, if you are wanting to day trips around central Scotland. We even drove up to the northern shore and played in the ocean with only about an hour and a half drive back to the cottage. I am certainly telling my friends about it! The only thing I would mention is that the plumbing can be loud. It didn't bother us. I would love for the owners to make a book about the history of the cottage and the local area. I found myself wanting to know it's history.

  • "This was a fantastic property and ideal for a for a family or group."

    There is lots of space and the house has everything you could need! There were lots of personal touches such as it was decorated for Christmas and the owners left a box of chocolates and biscuits for our arrival- so very thoughtful and much appreciated. The location of the house is perfect for exploring the area, it feels remote but is very close by to all amenities. The house is really lovely and warm with a great big woodburner, loads of parking and check in/out was really easy. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if we could have taken our dog, this property is not pet friendly. Overall a really great experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

  • "We have just returned from a weeks holiday at this lovely cottage."

    The cottage was amazing. The cottage was beautiful and so warm and cozy. On arrival Emma the owner of the cottage welcomed us also left a welcome gift of shortbread, tablet and macaroons. The bedrooms were were immaculate with lovely white bedding. Two spotless bathrooms and a massive kitchen with all amenities. There was also a washer dryer which was great as we were able to wash and dry all our clothes which saved having to do a large wash on returning home. Lovely open fire in living room which we used on several occasions. We actually had to turn off the central heating a couple of evenings as we were too warm. Lovely views outside the cottage and the area outside the cottage beautifully maintained. Cottage about 15 to 20 minutes from Aviemore and 30 to 40 mins from Inverness. Local pub served delicious food and staff very friendly. I highly recommend this cottage and will definitely be back.

  • "Would warmly recommend!"

    We were welcomed by friendly owner Emma. She brought us an extra blanket for the toddler and a box of Duplo, which was so appreciated! Wonderfully stylish and comfortable cottage. Loved the cute wallpapers, esp. in the downstairs bedroom. Very, very clean, which was a blessing with two children and allergies. Safe garden, with gate and nowhere near any road. Only recommendation that we would make is for a slightly greater range of cooking ware. All the basics are there, really, but if you wish to release your inner Jamie Oliver you might want to bring your own mixer. :) All in all, we had a great holiday at Easter Duthil cottage! We'd love to come back one day. Location: The location is great for many different attractions in the Cairngorms, and to the West and the North. When visting with kids we recommend the Highland Folk museum in Newtonmore. For Gourmands, we recommend Rothiemurchus farm shop/butcher.

  • "The pictures really don't do this lovely cottage justice."

    Although the cottage is on a working farm, it is set back in a secluded setting making it a relaxing and quiet base to explore the Cairngorms. Emma the owner greeted us when we arrived, which I felt gave it a personal touch and her Husband Rory always acknowledged us as we were coming and going in the car up and down the farm track. The owner had really thought about everything with the facilities available and extras like hand soaps, washing up liquid, soap powder not to mention the traditional edible scottish goodies that were a welcome treat after a long drive when we first arrived. The cottage is ideally located for accessing the A9, near to Carrbridge, Aviemore and Grantown-on-spey. We only stayed for the week, but there would have been enough in the area to keep us occupied for a couple of weeks. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend and return in the future.

    The cottage is newly renovated and has been done beautifully providing a cosy and comfortable place to stay in the fantastic surroundings of the Spey Valley. It was perfect for our children (3 years and 11 months) as had been childproofed well and they could race around safely. Emma and Rory were very welcoming and even brought over extra toys to keep the kids entertained. The cottage is situated on the edge of a working farm, with only the occasional 'moo' to disturb the peace and is ideally located for the wide range of walks and activities that the highlands are so well known for. We look forward to coming back again next year!

Very tastefully presented with excellent attention to detail this cottage is ideal for a family or group of friends, who will love the unspoilt beauty of the area and the vast array of activities that can be enjoyed close by.

A large entrance porch gives access into the property and can be used to store your muddy boots.

On the ground floor there is a king-size double bedroom along with both a bathroom and a shower room.

The sitting room, with its warming woodburning stove, is a cosy and relaxing space to gather at the end of an active day.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining area is perfect for enjoying home-cooked meals together.

The upper floor with its cottage style ceilings has two further nicely presented bedrooms.

A private garden surrounds the house and from here you can soak in the full vista of the famous Cairngorms and even enjoy a barbecue in the summer months.

With Carrbridge a short drive away offering good local services, the villages of Boat of Garten and the larger village of Grantown-on-Spey are also nearby.
