This little cottage was perfect for our party of 2 couples. Louise greeted us on arrival and was genuinely warm and welcoming. The unit has been recently renovated. The kitchen is well-stocked, including a dishwasher and washing machine. Beds are comfortable and there is a nice seating area with a little fireplace. Spotlessly clean. Nice, convenient location for visiting Speyside.

Dear Jane, Thank you so much for your review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back some time in the future. Louise & Jan. x
Our host was very welcoming and the accommodations were spacious. The bedding and towels were luxurious and the kitchen was well appointed. The wood burning stove was a delight that we took advantage of each night. The view of the nearby castle was a delightful surprise. It would be helpful to provide additional signage from the main road directing us. We would happily recommend this cottage to anyone who visits Speyside.

About the host
Hosted by Louise Christopher
We moved to the Scottish Highlands from London and feel so lucky to be in this beautiful part of the world every day. We love meeting our guests and helping them to make the most of their stay in Speyside.
Why they chose this property
It's simply stunning! The combination of mountains, glens, lochs, beaches and forests is extraordinary!
What makes this property unique
The building dates back to the 1800's and was originally built by a wealthy family who owned a very large estate. It was their holiday residence and Brylach Steading was where they kept their horses and carriages. It's a very pretty closed courtyard.
