"Unique and relaxing with amazing architecture."
Comfortable and clean with comfy beds, a good kitchen and huge sitting room with excellent TV etc.
the heating was automatic and hot water was plentiful. Everything was perfect apart from one small point.The road could do with a scrape and fill in of holes. One of our cars had rather limited ground clearance.
Local things to do are many and varied. Our kids especially liked wildlife park, water activities on the loch, and the Scottish folk museum site at Newtonmore.
Thank you so much Richard. It is lovely to hear you had a good time. Re the road I do take your point but it remains an uphill struggle especially with winter and rain.
Please do come and visit again sometime Property Owner

"Katchana is the perfect home from home."
It's comfortable and has all the facilities you need, plus more. The hot tub is a bonus and was the perfect way to unwind after a day in the wilderness.
The views and walks from Katchana is what made it for us. Words can not describe how stunning it is, particularly the autumn colours. There are so many great walks right from the door.
Loch Insh Watersports Centre can be walked to in under 30 mins and has loads of activities and lovely food.
Thank you Jenny for a lovely stay!

"We had a perfect week."
It is a wonderful, magical house with views in all directions and with room for all to find a peaceful place to sit and read or daydream. We saw couple of deer, red squirrels and the badgers who came to the door for the peanuts scattered at night. We walked trough forests and by the lochs remembered from frequent visits to he area in the past.
Thank you Jenny and team.
Thank you so much Joan for your review . It is lovely that you saw the wildlife and had a relaxing break. You seem to have enjoyed Katchana special atmosphere. Please do visit us again soon. Property Owner

"The beauty of Katchana is that it is timeless."
If you want a busy winter holiday or a action packed summer break or in our case, a place to relax and let the world drift past lazily, then Katchana is the perfect place. On clear nights the skies share a billion miles of stars and in the morning, feathered friends gather to be fed at your door. Pine Martins and Deer are also around the property and if you’re lucky, the pine Martins come close to the cottage.
The beds are comfortable, the living area is relaxing and the kitchen has all you need to suit your needs. And that hot tub!! A perfect way to end or start your day. Love love love this place.
Thank you Colin forthright great feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

"Amazing and private place to stay in the cairgorms with plenty of things to do nearby."
Hot tub a real bonus! Wonderful wildlife, seems like every kind of garden bird visits the house along with late evening visits from the resident badger (comes right up to the window). Roe Deer out front in the morning and Red Deer in the field at the back at night. Large modern TV and cosy log fire if staying in. Friendly and helpful owner on hand if any problems. Recommended.
Thank you Gresham it s so nice to hear you enjoyed your stay. Please do come back again. Property Owner

"Katchana has spectacular views and beautiful wildlife."
The owner was extremely kind to us. I left the brand new Harris Tweed purse I had purchased there at the cottage and Mrs. Anderson's housekeeper has agreed to mail it to me! Mrs Anderson told us where we could attend church and much other useful info. She is extremely helpful and pleasant.

"On arriving at Katchana , everything was lovely the views are exceptional ,going inside I thought the decor was very dated, in areas it was very dusty the windows could do with a clean as they are so big, to really benefit the views they were not clean."
Shower room rather grubby but we managed with it.
I did find paying a £250.00 bond rather high and then keeping £75.00 of it as a cleaning charge , I can say we left katchana clean and tidy apart from 2 bins of rubbish which would not go in the wheelie bin our bottles were taken to the bottle bank also as requested.
