“EVERYTHING IS FIRST CLASS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

Reviewed 24 Dec 2017

The cottage is situated in the countryside just outside Kingussie. The view from the patio doors onto the decking at the front is peaceful with sheep grazing in the field, birds feeding at the feeders. Even a pheasant tapping at the patio doors looking for food for 2/3 minutes. The cottage itself it absolutely beautiful with everything you need and more being supplied so there is no need to bring essentials with you other than clothes, food (if you wish to) and of course yourself. It is immaculate and well set out. There is plenty of outdoor activities and is only 15 minute drive from Aviemore with its steam and funicular railway. Judy and Jules are friendly, welcoming and oversee every aspect of keeping the cottages to the high standard they have. I would recommend these cottages to anyone wishing to holiday in this area as I have said in my title EVERYTHING IS FIRST CLASS.
