“When we arrived at the cottage after a 10 hour journey (this was due a diversion on the A9 of 1 and 1/2 hrs, not your fault just added to the strain of the day) the cottage had not been cleaned or linens changed since the last people had left.”

I called the management agency, the number was located in the information file. They advised they thought it was clean and had not been in that day to check. They advised that they were aware we were coming and had made a mistake. We all make mistakes, although I was surprised. We were asked to leave the cottage for up to 2hrs so it could be cleaned. As you can imagine this was not ideal. We were tired, hungry and needed to rest after such a long drive. I was not happy at all. We returned to ...

As you can imagine this was not ideal. We were tired, hungry and needed to rest after such a long drive. I was not happy at all. We returned to the cottage at 6.30 and it had been cleaned, it was just something we did not need. I hope this does not happen again. I felt it had to be brought to your attention as it tainted the holiday experience.

“Cottage was adequate for our purposes, but as a modern semi on a housing estate definitely lacking in character compared to most Sykes Cottages.”

One shortcoming was there was nowhere to dry towels - needed a bathroom radiator or heated towel rail.

“Great location.”

Nice quiet walk/cycle away from main road into center. Steam train passes right by the house - amazing view, it only passes a few times a day so it's not a problem. House very nice, beds very comfy. Minor issue with bathroom was fixed super quick by a local tradesman - great response. Coat hanging space at the backdoor would have been handy. No drying frame for inside - there is a line outside but weather was poor so we couldn't use it after washing a few items. Full access to Sky Movie package which is great for the evenings.

The property

Foinaven is a beautifully appointed bungalow resting just outside of Aviemore's town centre in the scenic Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.

At the front of the property sits a light and fresh vestibule area with plenty of space to kick off your muddy boots and hang up your coat after a long, tiring day of exploring this scenic area.

Heading left from the entrance you arrive at a delightful, neutrally decorated living dining room, perfect to put your feet up and chill out.

Step through and discover the two pleasant, clay tone bedrooms, one with a bunk bed and a single bed, perfect for children to come and stay.

Make the most of the stunning family bathroom by enjoying a long, relaxing soak at the end of an eventful day.

The interior of Foinaven is topped off with a classy kitchen, an excellent space to cook a delicious family meal for all to enjoy.

In the summer, sit out in your secure, enclosed garden with a pleasant decking for you to use, there is even lockable storage for your bikes should you want to cycle the multitude of trails on your doorstep.

Aviemore is a wonderful destination for an outdoor holiday, with fishing, walking, sailing and birdwatching aplenty in the area.

The area offers good fishing, superb walking in the surrounding hills and woodland, and golfing on the many fine courses in the area. There is also sailing, riding and birdwatching, with rare species to be found including Ospreys and Capercaillie. You will find Aviemore an ideal base for touring the Highlands and nearby Grampians. The landscape is dotted with historic castles and tempting distilleries, while the region is known to millions as the setting for the popular TV series 'Monarch of the Glen'. Enjoy fishing on the majestic River Spey all summer, and winter skiing on the Cairngorms and Lecht ski centres, appealing to thrill-seekers and novices alike.
