Fabulous place, perfect location for outdoor activities. Whisky trail, or just peace and quiet. Very well equipped kitchen. Shower upstairs was fabulous, bedrooms spacious. Couldn’t really fault it, if there’s one thing missing it’s a wood burning stove. But that’s a minor. We’re definitely coming back in 2026 👍👍

Lovely cottage located on the banks of the River Spey. Extremely comfortable and well equipment. There is a well stocked shop locally which had most things you would need so no concerns about running out of supplies.
