“We had a fantastic stay in the cottage over the October break.”

it is clean and comfortable and superbly located. we are a family of four (2 adult, 2 kids, 7 and 3). the cottage had everything you might need, although the fridge was really small so we had to shop every couple of days rather than one big shop for the week. that would be my only bugbear really! the pub that is in the lodge is friendly and welcoming and very child friendly too, which meant we could go for a swift half after dinner - such a treat! desperate to go back but it's busy, and no ...

“Fantastic cottage although bed in master bedroom not comfy.”

Everything else fantastic and great having a pub on site. Owners gave us privacy and were available should we have any questions. Location also fab. Our little dog loved the open air freedom.

- Mrs Rollo, September 2019
“We have been to this cottage 4 times now so this tells all, we love the place, a real home from home.”

The garden has now been enclosed and improved since the last time we where there so even better. We both feel the bathroom ( shower ) could be updated but the owner aware, also would love a washing machine as our clothes got wet due to wet weather walks,so could do with washing them. They have put in new double doors is sitting room that are lovely too. We will be returning again in a couple of years we hope. A must stay if visiting Aviemore Fiona and John Mcgregor

“Absolutely idyllic pet friendly location, it caters for all needs, every home ...”

Absolutely idyllic pet friendly location, it caters for all needs, every home comfort you could want, the cottage is 5 mins from Loch Insh which has the most fantastic water sports and 6 miles from aviemore, only 2 negatives for us was that there was no washing machine and fridge freezer was tiny other than that it was superb and would highly recommend

- Miss Owen, July 2019

“Kincraig turned out to be a great base for access to bike tracks and walking.”

“Superb pet friendly retreat”

This cottage nestles in a quiet spot in the village with some beautiful walks on the doorstep. We were made most welcome by our hosts and all those within the community we met. An excellent place to see some of the highlands and well worth every minute of the trip. Highly recommend for a relaxing week away.

“Lovely property, comfortable lounge and beds, great location for Cairngorms, friendly hosts, nicely landscaped garden for privacy of out door hot tub (the real gem)!”

- Mr Douglas, January 2019
“The secret retreat so lovely that we dont want to share!”

This was our second trip to this wonderful not so little cottage. From the second you arrive you just know how relaxing it is going to be. The hosts are amazing. They are there to help if you wish and keep a cool distance if you dont. We cannot recommend this property enough. We would give the accommodation, location and owners a full 10 out of 10. Its so quaint and lovely even the dog looks forward to arriving. Thankyou Wendy and Mike.

“A fantastic week in the cottage.”

Beautiful location & so much on the door step. Are only struggle was trying to fit everything in, reindeer herd, Wildlife park, Zip park, Loch walks, mountain etc etc. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked in for next year.

- Mr Wilson, December 2018
“We had a great time at the cottage.”

It is beautiful, a great size, and the beds are really comfortable. Wendy and Mike are lovely and helpful if you should need anything.

- Mrs Miles, October 2018
“Aviemore is a fantastic location for families with young children.”

Suidhe lodge is both family & dog friendly with a fully enclosed garden. Wonderful hot tub. Very helpful, friendly owners & onsite pub! 5 min drive from Aviemore & on Loch Inch for watersports. Will book again next year!

- Dr Vorenkamp, July 2018
“This cottage was the best place me my husband and daughter have stayed so far.”

Lovely friendly welcome and the accommodation was 5+ star. Lots of different activities for the whole family to do in the surrounding area. We will definitely be back to stay in the future.

- Mrs Gourlay, June 2018
“Excellent location.”

Cottage was lovely and spacious. Heater in one of the bedrooms wasn't working but that was the only fault. Will return!!

- Miss Cairns, March 2018
“Peaceful, relaxing,pet friendly”

Very peaceful, warm clean cottage, perfect for relaxing break, enclosed garden dog friendly house. Hot tub brilliant, especially at night after busy day, then chill in front of log fire. Lots to do within driving distance, walks nearby, would definitely love to go back, winter here would be perfect in snow.... definitely recommend for a peaceful retreat from life...no telephone ringing

“Lovely central location for lots of activities”

I was impressed with the cottage on arrival. It's set back from the road in the garden of a large house. We were lucky as we had the large garden to ourselves as their was no one staying in the main house that week. The garden is secure which was great for the dogs and they loved the freedom to run around. The outdoor hot tub is amazing, so lovely and warm and great after a long days walk. I also liked the wood burner each evening. There is a really nice walk at the back of the property to Loch Insh and plenty of great walks only a short drive away. The owners of the property were very friendly and we were made to feel welcome in the bar. I only gave 4 stars as a few things let it down. The property doesn't have a freezer, but it is possible to get ice from the bar on an evening. There was only 1 bin bag and 1 toilet roll for the week and kindling for the first night for the fire (plenty of logs were provided) I think this let it down a bit, as I've stayed in establishments which provide enough for the week. The cottage also needs a little TLC. The toilet handle was a bit of an issue, there was a bulb out in the kitchen, the light in the hot tub didn't work, the tv in the bedroom hadn't been wired up yet for sky so no signal and the filter coffee machine didn't work. The front door was also very stiff and difficult to lock. We had a perfectly lovely time and I would recommend it, but it would be great to see these little issues sorted. All in all it was a very enjoyable holiday and a great location.

“Tranquility in an insane world”

Loved it. Peace quiet. Dog friendly and I mean dog friendly especially the bar. Lovey couple running the lodge couldn't do enough to hep. Bar at the end of the garden. No phones or Internet to annoy you. Wood fire in the evenings. Pretty much 30 miles from anywhere you want or need to go. Nesting Ospreys in the loch half a mile away. I miss it already. For activities , walks, peace and quiet what a place to visit. A few bottles of the uisge beatha from a local distillery and some nice weather and its little slice of heaven. Great with friends too. Thoroughly recommend.

- Scott S, July 2016
“Fantastic Cottage in Wonderful Location”

We have been self catering three or four times a year for some time now. I have to say we have found an absolute gem in Suidhe Cottage. It is set in the grounds of the Hotel, but enjoys an amaizing garden, with private hot tub and cosy wood burner. At the front of the hotel, the owners have a separate and small public bar frequented mainly by locals. The bar is very dog friendly, and the locals are very chatty too, making new staying guests very welcome. Thankyou so much to the owners for looking after us. We will definately be back next year. Steve & Angie and daughter and son-in-law. (Not forgetting Jack our Jack Russel)

“Great Location”

Suidhe Cottage is ideally placed for all Wintr and Summer activities. We travelled with the express purpose of skiing in the Cairngorms. The cottage is easily accessible and Aviemore is only 6 miles away. The venue is relaxed and quiet, set in tranquil grounds belonging to Suidhe Hall. It was below freezing mostly with snow on the ground but with a log fire burning and electric heaters in the bedrooms it was very warm.. The owner, Mike, was welcoming, informative and friendly. An informal atmosphere and the colourful locals, who also frequented the well stocked bar, make you feel welcome. Highly recommended.

- Russ P, January 2016
“A true winter wonder land!!!”

We spent a long weekend at this cottage we have had a fantastic time. It snowed every day we were there (we were hoping for snow on our visit ) Lot's of lovely walks near the lodge our dog's had a ball. Mike the owner was lovely and very helpful. Sitting in the hot tub in the snow was just amazing. The lodge it's self was very spacious the only bad point thing was on arrival there was a few dirty glasses and plate but nothing the dishwasher couldn't sort out. Overall we had a great time and will most definitely return. I would highly recommend this lodge.

“Cosy, comfortable, great hot tub”

Brilliant wee spot for couples or single friends. there are also a couple of bunk beds for kids. The contents are very well thought out with so many smaill touches that make the place very homely, compared to other slef catering places. The owners are ver accommodating and thoughtful. This is the second year we have stayed, and we have booked again for next year. The wood burner is great for cooler nights and there is plenty of wood.

“Rustic charm”

A very enjoyable experience. We were greeted on arrival by Mike, the owner, and were immediately made welcome. The property was ready early so we made our way down. We had no problems but if you are infirm or struggle with mobility then the pathway may be a challenge. The cottage itself was as advertised in the brochure, and the log burner and hot tub were utilised to their full extent. All the wood was readily available and Mike said to hep ourselves from the wood store if we needed more. The property is wood cabin effect and has rustic feel and look in the decor and furnishings. It was little too cluttered with for my taste but not something that spoils the holiday. The hot tub was perfect end to the days of hill walking, especially after the cairngorm walk which is about 10 miles from the property. Aviemore is six miles and there is a bus stop directly outside the property, but if there is 4 or more then get a taxi, it's cheaper. The nearest pub is in the main house and is highly recommended, the locals use it regularly and we made welcome by everyone, our host, Mike, doubled up as barman and was a mine of information and full of anecdotal stories to pass the evening away. All in all a very good holiday was had by all of our party and would return again.

“Fantastic getaway whatever the weather”

Lovely cottage, everything you could need supplied. Location superb with lane way to lough behind and great walks nearby. The hot tub was fun - sitting in it in a blizzard was bizarre !!! The little pub beside was great with roaring fire, great 'stand in ' landlords and friendly villagers who loved our dogs . Would love to return in summer but was fantastic for a crisp snowy Winter's weekend.
