  The cottage could be lovely however the garden is very unkempt and looks abandonned.

  Not a good first impression when you arrive after driving all day. The lawn wasn't mowed, flower pots growing weeds, terrace area with weeds and bricks lying about and not very inviting. The cleanliness is just about ok: we had to clean some plates and glasses, the fridge is not clean and we found some stuff from previous guests in the freezer ( which we left ) The central heating ( only 2 radiators= one in the utility room and one in the sitting room) is on timer to which you have no control : when I contacted the owner to query about it I was told the heating would come on at 5pm. It didn't but came about 3am and stayed on for several days with no stopping . We tried to switch it off at the sockets but it kept going. There is no heating in the bathroom unless you fire the kitchen range on (which means purchasing vast quantity of wood )We were told that the towel rail radiator in the bathroom could only be on if the wood stove in the sitting room was lit ( so we bought some wood to do so ) : in fact we had the fire on several evenings but still no heating in the bathroom ( hence we concluded that the radiator in the bathroom was linked to the range in the kitchen). We ended up moving one of the plug in electric radiators . The bedrooms are lovely , spacious and comfortable with plug in radiators. Overall , the cottage and garden need some TLC. We were lucky enough to have a couple of days of good weather and there was no where in the garden to sit and have a drink except for a sad looking bench. When the weather turned ( lots of rain and quite cold which you would expect in Scotland) the heating malarckey went on. I paid more that £611 for a week in June and would expect much better than what was delivered.

  The house was absolutely amazing.

  If had everything we needed. Facilities were in excess of what we expected. The neighbors (hope I remembered her name correct) next door were absolute gems and lent us their BBQ when they saw me using a pair of disposable ones. The views are stunning, even when it's tipping it down. The summer house at the bottom of the garden is a wonderful place to sit the night away. There is so much to do nearby and you're only limited by your willingness to travel. Most adventure parks and the best bits of the Cairngorms are all within an hour's drive. There was just a few minor things that would have made our stay better. Don't know if these apply across the board. A gate towards the front of the drive would have allowed us to have the doors open and give the dog free roam of all the space. I guess this would apply to children to some extent. The location on the directions was a bit wooly. I think this should be replaced with a 'what3words' location. This is used by emergency services and companies to plot exact locations that night not be as easily located. Here is a precise what3words address, made of 3 random words. Every 3 metre square in the world has its own unique what3words address. ///stylists.agreeing.marked https://w3w.co/stylists.agreeing.marked I think the blinds need to be black out ones. Otherwise the light and airy nature of the cottage becomes an early wake up call. Maybe another radio upstairs. All in all, it was great and I wouldn't hesitate coming back or recommending it to family and friends

  We had a lovely stay at the “East Cottage”.

  The hosts are very polite and caring. They left us yummy strawberry tarts, fresh raspberries from a local farm and some more nibbles on our arrival. Every single room is well facilitated. The kitchen is well-equipped. Our family prefers home-cooked meals and I found everything that was required in the kitchen. Bedrooms are comfy with great views- farm, gardens, wild birds, farm animals and even sea :) This cottage is a perfect choice if one is looking for heavenly countryside experience. The greenhouse is cute with serene views. My kids love wild birds and farm animals. The cows on the neighbouring farm very quite entertaining!! Many interesting and beautiful attractions are not far from the cottage which is a bonus. We really got emotional when leaving the cottage after seven night stays. It was indeed a home to home experience. Thank you so much for making our stay so comfy and enjoyable. Miss you “East Cottage”

  We absolutely love Bogindour Cottage.

  This was our second stay here and we are already thinking about when we can have our third. Bogindour is always beautifully presented on arrival and the welcome pack is very much appreciated after a day long journey to get there. The local manager Jacquie couldn't be more friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Our sons love Bogindour and have started learning chess after discovering the wooden chess set in the kitchen on our first visit. This is something they have kept up and was the first thing they wanted to do on our second visit. Perhaps most importantly though is that our 3 year old collie Kuri absolutely loves Bogindour. From the moment we first arrived, she was so happy, bouncing about, tail high in the air. She always has a great time and if she's so happh and at ease then we know that it is a great place to be. We can't wait to come back.

  We had a lovely week at Rosemary's house visiting for the Speyside golf experience.

  Although we weren't around the house much during the day due to travelling around for golf, the house had everything we needed for our stay. There was also a lovely summerhouse which we only discovered on our last day as we didn't venture into the garden. The beds were so comfortable and I looked forward to falling into it after our long days travelling about. The house was very quiet except for the noise of the cows in the field. We had dinner in the Sun dancer restaurant in Nairn which was lovely and also in the Cawdor Tavern which was a bit slow serving but lovely food when it came. We had everything we needed for our weeks stay and wouldn't think twice about staying again.
