"We were absolutely delighted with Thistle Dhu."
A wonderful warm welcome with the hosts nearby to make recommendations and help with anything.
The house had everything you would want and more. Clean, comfortable and cosy. Plenty of information provided on eating out and places to visit as well. We would highly recommend this beautiful holiday home. With plenty to see and do in the area you didn’t need to venture far!

"A Very well presented house."
A nice touch of welcome presents were very much appreciated.
To keep writing wouldn't do justice...this is simply "top accommodation".

"Everything was provided you could possibly need and more."
The house felt welcoming and homely. It wasn't far from main street and shops and restaurant and shops and restuarants we're only minutes to walk to. Only met owner once as away at time but very friendly and phone call to arranged key pick up lots of use fully advice given. All in party couldn't fault accommodation.

"My husband, children and their spouses spent a wonderful week at Thistle Du."
I can't say enough good things about this exceptional home in Newtonmore. Thistle Du was well equipped for 8 people, in fact, this is the only holiday home that I have rented were they provided more than enough dishes so that we didn't have to run the dishwasher half full just to have clean dishes. I loved all the little touches in the home like a lovely welcome pack, lots of folders with instruction manuals, house information and local menus plus a whole bookcase of books on the area, movies and games. In the bedrooms were extra blankets and hair dryers. Oh, and we loved having two french presses so we could make two different coffees each morning. The location was perfect for us as Newtonmore is close to a lot of local activities - Leault Sheepdog demonstrations, Wildcat trail, several munros, The Highland Folk Museum, Dalwhinnie Distillery, Ardvirikie Estate - plus had enough restaurants and pubs for 7 evening dinners without having to repeat. The owners of Thistle Du couldn't have been nicer and were very responsive to any communication. Thanks for the hospitality!

"A truly amazing place to stay."
Absolutely everything you could need is provided.....even down to the 8 umbrellas and cupboard full of games and DVDs.
Each bedroom is as comfortable as the others, so nobody in the party gets "the worst room."
Patsy and Gregor are friendly and nearby should you need anything....I doubt you will.
To cap it all milk, bread, tea, coffee are provided for when you arrive, as is a welcome pack, but that's a secret!

Would definitely recommend this house and location for a holiday.

"A wonderful situated cottage in Newtonmore with nice owners, never seen such a cosy and well equipped cottage in my past journeys and there were already some good ones."
Spacey, comfortable, unbelieveable good equipped. A+++. And Newtonmore is a good base for travels to the Cairngorms, also to have some medium walks around. A surprising Highland park in 6 miles with polar bears (also a young one), tigers, red panda and many more what you don't believe to find in the Highlands. Also a short visit to Dalwhinnie distillery is a good choice but many more also. Nice little village with all facilities you need and at least a very good restaurant. (The Letterbox).
For all which do need some space in a beautiful luxury cottage this is the first choice.

"Having rented cottages for many years now Thistle Dhu is by far the best (though it is much more modern than previous rentals)."
Well, and thoughtfully, laid out. The kitchen was great to use - plenty of room for a number of people to contribute to cooking without getting in each others way. More than enough crockery, cutlery, utensils, etc. (all matching as well) - too many cottages are spoilt by insufficient items, usually ill matched 'cast-offs'. First rate.

"Patsy and Gregor make their guests feel so welcome from the moment you arrive to the time you leave and should be complimented on achieving this."
This property for most people would be more than the "home from home" experience as it has a lot more to offer. Superbly centrally situated to reach the sites that Scotland's West Coast has to offer I and my family would love to repeat our time in Thistle Dhu and hope we might be able to next year.
