Summary: We stayed for a week in early September with two other couples. The house was spacious, warm and comfortable with a large sitting room with ample space for everyone to socialise in the evenings. It is situated in a very peaceful rural location, being surrounded by fields and with young game birds running around close by, but is not far from the amenities of Grantown-on-Spey and the Speyside Malt Whisky route. There is a surprising amount to do in the area. The drive to Braemar from the house is particularly spectacular as it crosses the Cairngorms. We enjoyed visiting Ballindaloch Castle and Gardens, Elgin Cathedral, Loch Garten and doing tours of The Glenlivet distillery, Speyside Cooperage and the textile mill at Johnstons of Elgin. Highly recommended.

Summary: We had a very pleasant time at Lois' house. The directions were well explained, so we found the house quickly. It is wonderfully nestled in the heart of the Highlands, and each of us enjoyed the unique view of the landscape every morning and evening. Daily encounters with various animals and nature were a memorable experience. The house provides all the amenities you would need as a vacationer, plus great extras like games, books, and information about the area. Shopping is convenient in the nearby towns. Our children had their own rooms and could play and run around outside. Whether indoors or outdoors, our stay in Aird was thoroughly special and beautiful. Thank you very much!

Summary: Very quiet with excellent views of the surrounding farmlands. Don’t drive your low ground clearance sports car and stop in Aviemore and pick up groceries on the way there. It is about 10 miles to the store. That said, would definitely do it again!

Summary: We traveled as a multi-generational group of 10 and really enjoyed our stay. The lounge was great and the pictures do not do it justice….it was just so nice sitting and watching the scenery. This is a tranquil location close to many Speyside distilleries - so very convenient if that is your goal.

Summary: Beautiful cottage, more than ample accommodation for our 8 adults and 1 dog group. Beautiful setting, rural but close enough to towns and activities. Great place to stay.

Summary: We had a glorious week staying in this lovely house. Inevitably, to get to the bigger hills, lochs, local towns and historic sites involves driving. But there are great walks which are much more local, taking in forest and hillside, with alot of variation. The house is super comfortable for a group of family and friends. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house unreservedly.

Summary: The house was our base for the Moray 6 Days of Orienteering. We were running every day so did not have the opportunity to visit the local area but the scenery was very pleasant and the house was nice and spacious.

Summary: We had a lovely stay at this well equipped and spacious property. It feels remote but is a relatively short drive to attractions such as Landmark, Aviemore and excellent access to the Speyside Whiskey trail. The children enjoyed the bikes, wildlife and board games kept us all entertained. Kitchen had everytbing we needed and had no problem getting shopping delivered. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere peaceful and away from some of the busier towns.

Summary: Only negative was there was no bins for sorting recycling. Except at the end of the road a mile away! Every area of Scotland seems to have a different idea. Hopefully we got it right.🙏🤞
