Hello and a very warm welcome to Zippity-Do-Da!
This has been our family home since we built it in 2006. Originally we had planned to rent it out but loved it so much we moved in!
At long last we have moved out and are happy to welcome holiday makers to enjoy our lovely home in the heart of the Cairngorms. We want you to have a fabulous holiday so we have done everything we can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
Our lovely housekeeper Kirsty is on hand to make sure you have all you need during your stay. We hope to welcome you here sometime soon.
Best Wishes George and Gillian Orr
