Relaxing stay in lovely house
Delighted to have found this house and we hope to return. Around 15 mins north of Aviemore, in a tranquil setting, it is well equipped and comfortable, and dog-friendly. A perfect base for all the activities in the area, we enjoyed the views, local walks and the hot tub.

Lovely week with the family
We have just returned from a lovely week with our family, including a two year old and a dog. The location of the cottage was great and the enclosed, spacious garden was great for both our grandson and the family dog. The peace and quiet was fabulous and our grandson loved the occasional tractors going past. It was easy to travel around the area from and there was plenty to see and do. Overall a great holiday making lasting family memories. Thank you.

Rivercroft, appreciate the flora and fauna of the surrounding countryside.
We spent a wonderful week at Rivercroft, 4 adults, one 3 year old and a 8 month old infant. This house has everything you could wish for, plenty of space, very tasteful furnishings, lots of hot water plenty of light through the panoramic windows and of course the hot tub. The only downside was the changeable weather and the heating in the house, we had to turn it down, too warm! As a family we ventured out every day, various woodland trails, cycle rides, great fun, a really interesting visit to the Hiighland Folk Museum, The Speyside Centre for morning coffee and to finish off the week, The Landmark Centre, a great hit with all of us, especially the Dinosaurs, The Tree Top Walk and The Water Slide ! ( no charge to the Centre if you are over 75 ).
In all, a relaxing thoroughly enjoyable week for everyone and a great place for a holiday,

Wonderful House
We stayed at Rivercroft in July, despite the rubbish Scottish weather, we had a lovely week. The house is very well equipped and surrounded by lovely scenery, walls and areas to explore. We really loved the hot-tub and the log fire on colder evenings. The house was very clean and spacious and would recommend to any family looking for a week of calm and adventure !

Peaceful location with lovely views
The location is so peaceful and offers wonderful views of the countryside. It's in easy reach of lots of great things to do for all ages. The house was well equipped however the cleanliness of the property let it down a bit for us.

Beautiful stay in Rivercroft
My husband and I spent nearly a week here in late September. We loved everything about the house: the Jacuzzi the fireplace the gorgeous view the bedrooms are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. We had a little trouble with our shower knob and they did their best to help very quickly. we can’t wait to come back.

Kites, Pine Martens and Geese
3 generations stayed at Rivercroft and there was something for everyone.
The house was well equipped, modern and fit for a family.
We were exceptionally lucky with the weather and our 4 year old loved the playing in the garden and the woods behind the property.
Great value for money and attentive service from beginning to end.
Thank you

Great holiday in a beautiful location
Rivercroft was spacious and very comfortable. We found everything we needed in the kitchen - apart from a good-sized cafetiere - and the views were fantastic. We walked along the lane and paths nearby, seeing curlews and a dozen hares! Lots to do in nearby places. We had the best holiday.

Didn’t want to leave!
This was our 2nd stay at Rivercroft and again we loved it. Spacious, clean and very easy to feel at home in. So much so that we were fortunate enough to be able to extend our stay by a few days, many thanks to GNL and the owners. Not far from Aviemore and surrounding areas and everything you want to see and do but a wonderful tranquil place to return to where you can truly switch off and relax and simply take in the stunning views.

Peaceful Holiday
Beautiful cottage and the location was ideal for us as we were seeking a quiet and peaceful holiday. There were two walks from the cottage but these were mainly in quiet roads and not great for letting dogs off. Just a few minor niggles that the oven and grill needed cleaning (which we did) and the hot tub cover was loose

Heaven on earth
It was quite simply stunning. The location had everything. The house was cosy and beautiful, with everything you could ever need. The welcome goodies were a beautiful touch. The house was so good, it was difficult to leave it to take advantage of the amazing walks and scenery. We will be back.

Lovely cottage away from it all
Rivercroft is tucked away in a quiet location with dark skies and wilderness on the doorstep, yet only a short drive to some wonderful facilities, cafes, pubs and walks.
Very clean, with a well equipped kitchen and very useful boot room with drying rack. The welcome pack was lovely and we enjoyed the hot tub despite the temperature outside being well into the minus!

Lovely house in an amazing location
We couldn't have asked for more. An amazing spot with easy access to amazing lochs, rivers, waterfalls and mountains. Superb views from the hot tub.
Very well equipped (more like a family home than a hot tub)
You feel very close to nature. We saw hundreds of hares from the house itself, and an ermine stoat and deeper just a few minutes walk from the house.
And the dark night skies are amazing for star gazing from the tub or garden.
Couldn't recommend more

Beautiful Scottish retreat
The house was beautiful and clean. Kitchen very well equipped. We went in the hot tub every day and even saw the new year in in it. Perfect location being close to lots of places to visit including Inverness and Balmoral. Endless numbers of walks to do, some straight from the house. The information supplied from the owners was fantastic. We had a great holiday and didn’t want to come home! The welcome package was a very nice treat to arrive too aswell. Thank you!

A home from home in beautiful surroundings
Lovely house situated in the heart of the countryside. Very clean and dog friendly. Hot tub was a great bonus and was well used even on rainy days. It would have been nice to have been greeted with a welcome hamper with some basics; teabags, biscuits etc. Coffee machine would benefit from some updating with a more modern model. Also extra towels would have been handy. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

Great week spent at Rivercroft
Great 5 days staying at Rivercroft. Such a fabulous house with everything you need for your stay. It's a great base for visiting the Speyside gin and whisky distilleries. The views of the sunset and sunrise are great, especially from the hot tub. The area is realy quite and secluded but just off the road so easy to find and easy to get to places. We ate at the Winking Owl and the Speyside Hotel during our stay and both were very good. We also visited Loch Morlich for the walk round which took about 2 hours but was well worth it. We had lunch at the Pine Martin afterwards which was well earned and delicious. The views were unbelievable. We went to 5 different distilleries with Kinrara and Glenallachie our favourites in terms of the staff friendliness. We spent a day at Landmark Adventure Park which the kids just loved and also Highland Wildlife Park which was a little disappointing for the price but in a beautiful location.
