Had a lovely week at the cottage. James, the owner is very down to earth and was on hand quickly when we had a problem with the hot water and sorted it out for us. Everything about the cottage was first class, would definitely recommend a stay here.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It was exceptionally clean, well equipped and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location is wonderfully peaceful, with the woods right on the doorstep and plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.The owner was friendly and helpful, and was on hand if we needed anything, while still giving us plenty of privacy. A perfect place for a peaceful getaway — we would happily stay again!

Lovely cottage much enjoyed by the whole family. Best welcome pack we've ever received. Would recommend taking suitable beakers plates etc for accident prone children. If you go to Granton-on-Spey suggest following the sign to the river - there's parking and a small area of sand where you can paddle, swim, take paddle boards or canoes. Charging point behind the hotel at Carrbridge was useful.
