I really enjoyed staying at Cedar Cottage, it’s difficult to fault. The location is excellent, down a quiet private road with views out to the green. It’s well located in easy reach of a myriad of National trust properties, Cairngorms hikes and the north coast. The house is very large for a 1 bedroom and is generally well equipped and very clean. I found the bed and sofas comfortable with plenty of wardrobe space which is not always the case! It was really good having a smart tv in the kitchen as well as the living room to watch while cooking. I actually didn’t use the living room very much. If I’m being picky, they only left 3 dishwasher tablets which was just about okay for me staying alone, but if you were a couple that wouldn’t have been enough for a week with only 4 of each item of crockery provided. Also the oven did not cook very well, I had to cook everything about 30 degrees higher and for longer. A coffee machine would have been welcome too!I would recommend though, a large well kept house in a quiet and convenient location.
