We loved the rural location and aspect - lovely view and sunsets from the south facing garden and we were treated to seeing a pine martin from the kitchen window. Perfect location for lots of local low level and bigger hill walks and getting to Aviemore and the Cairngorms. The kitchen is really well equipped and the wood burning stove made it very cosy. The only improvement we could suggest is a shower, even a simple one over the bath, that would make things much easier. Other than that we had a great week.
