The cottage serves as a fantastic base for exploring the Cairngorms and surrounding attractions.
Several guests found the cottage clean and tidy, but a notable minority reported issues such as grubby kitchens, mould in bathrooms, and areas missed by cleaners. Improvements have been noted over time, but consistency could be better.

We had a lovely week at this quirky cottage. It had everything we needed for our stay and the owner was very helpful. Its location was perfect for our dogs with the lovely forest walks just 5 minutes walk away. It was great to leave the car and walk into Granton which had lovely friendly places to eat or just have a beer. Sunday lunch at the Grant arms was delicious and I would highly recommend a visit. There is also lots of places to visit a short drive away. Definitely a place to go back to.

A lovely snug house with lots of original and authentic features like sloping floors upstairs, wonky door frames and creaking wooden floors. We loved it. It's in an excellent location, just a short walk to shops, cafes and pubs and a beautiful forest with woodland trails. The large enclosed garden was great for the dogs.
