“Our second time staying here and we loved it, we cannot wait to re book and go again”
Miss Mccarthy February 2020

“Owners so friendly and helpful, beautiful cottage beautiful setting had snow every day (febuary) which we loved.”

Hot tub was lovely and warm even in the snow. Cottage was equipped with everything we needed even had little touches in bedrooms like hot water bottles and hair dryers.. avimore only 6 miles away has all u need tesco aldi. Gift shops..home bargains..restraunts..pizza..italian..laundrette..all we met was friendly ..loved it will deffo be back. Only negative which isnt really a negative as the owners did pre warn us the garden is dog secure but we had a husky who likes to jump..the back fence is very low so he jumped over it one morning and we had to climb over on to a neighbours garden to collect him luckily we spotted him in time. Also the gate if you have little dogs could easily get through it apart from that its perfect. Also free logs on grounds for log fire. Perfect.
Mrs Campbell October 2019

“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 wonder.
Mrs Rollo September 2019

“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.
Mr Mcgregor August 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
Ms Proctor June 2019

“I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage.”

Owners were very friendly and helpful. Cottage was beautiful, a home from home. The hot tub was fantastic. Ideally situated for many activities, such as wildlife park, loch insh watersports, Aviemore etc. Would love to go back
Mrs Macleod April 2019

“This is a fantastic place to stay , has everything you need and very private , also great if you have a dog as the garden is enclosed and our dog coco had a great time ruining about .”

Would definitely recommend this place to others.
Mr Wild March 2019

“Fantastic lodge which pictures really do it no justice.”

is such a brilliant area. nice walk up the road to water sports centre and bar which was so friendly and dog friendly. Bar right next to lodge which was great so friendly again. we was lucky to have snow when we was there which for us made it a whole lot better. sitting in the hot tub while snow is falling round you was brilliant. Aviemore just down the road with everything you would need. we would have rebooked for this year but due to my holidays having to boom over a year in advanced is was already booked. so my advice if it free, book it you really won’t regret it.
Mr Jones February 2019

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

Cottage ideal for family break and hosts welcoming. A very enjoyable family holiday and hope to return again.

“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.
Lisastranney 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.
Mr Douglas January 2019

“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 Wilson December 2018

“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.
Mrs Miles October 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.

“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
Helen A September 2016

“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.

“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)
Russ P January 2016

“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.

“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.
steve c September 2013

“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.
