It is a great location for our two collies with woodland and riverside walks from the door. The house was bigger than the photos show (there is also a third room upstairs with a desk in it). It was spotless, really well equipped and very comfortable. Skye of Curr is a great location to see the many sites in the area. We hope to visit again soon.

Immaculate house in a very peaceful road surrounded by fields . Well equipped and lovely and warm. Charlie was helpful and communicated promptly. Great location for everything in the Aviemore and Cairngorm area. Lovely walk in the woods behind the house to the river. We even had the thrill of seeing a golden eagle nearby. Our only issue was we didn’t find the beds comfortable unfortunately so didn’t sleep all that well.

A fantastic house located on a quiet road backed by woods, and close to some beautiful walking areas. Easy check-in process and helpful host with speedy responses. The house had lots of space, with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped which was perfect for self catering. Would definitely stay again.

Ideal family holiday!

Nice house in an ideal location to enjoy the local area. We stayed for a week and the location was great for a some exellent walking, cycling and relaxing. The house is well equipped, warm, comfortable and clean, it has the added bonuis of a lockable outhouse which was good for storing bikes. Grantown is just along the road with a good range of shops, cafes and other facilities. Aviemore slighly further afield for a larger shops and amenties. Overall a throughouly enjoyable stay and communication with Charlie was excellent.

The property was very clean and well-appointed for a comfortable stay for a family. The photos represent the property well. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you might need for self-catering. No dishwasher, but that was the only thing, and we knew that from the description before making the booking. The description doesn't mention a freezer, so we weren't sure before we arrived, but it was a fridge freezer, so all good. Good communication from the owner. No issues and happy to recommend.
