What our customers say about their holidays

  Church View is a cosy property BUT .

  . . . . . these are observations. They are NOT meant to be criticisms 1. The steep stairs cries out for a banister rail on the left side of the stairs going upwards. 2. ONE toilet roll is NOT enough. 3. There was no dish cloth available. We were unable to wipe down surfaces, spills, etc. 4. No cleaning spray available which would have helped with kitchen roll with the above. 5. A revamp of furniture would make greater use of the space available. Remove the two easy chairs in the living room. Move the bookcase to the left of the wood burner. Move the blue settee into the living room to where the bookcase was - then a family of four can sit more comfortably together. The circular table takes up too much space. With the blue settee moved into the living room, there is more room for maybe a rectangular table in the far end of the kitchen. 6. The light switch for the bathroom is faulty. 7. We left the property a day early because we just could not sleep in the bed for one more night. The mattress was woefully thin as were the pillows. SO uncomfortable. 8. The curtain in the living room is too long. Heat from the heater simply goes up hte curtain and then against a cold windowpane.

  Pictures of the property especially the garden are clearly taken a very very long time ago.

  The garden is unkept. The plants,bushes and weeds are out of control and makes it incredibly difficult to even enter the garden area. It's like walking into a forest. The property says there is seating area with furniture. The seats are old rotten wooden chairs in a shed which is hidden under overgrown bushes. You would have to remove spiders nests to reach them. Inside the property the carpets carried old dirt which was walked into the fabric of the carpet. The bedding in the guest room (2 beds) had stains on the mattress sheet and duvet cover. The sheets smelt clean but the stains were very clear to see. The chairs had old stains on and dust was everywhere. In thr kitchen we lifted the plastic basin inside the sink and discovered 2 maggots which were dead. As we travelled for over 8 hours and arrived very late in the night we had no choice other than to stay the night then left first thing in the morning cutting our 4 day stay short. We were offered a small refund. Very poor but accepted this to just forget about the experience and move on.

  We have stayed here previously and then we raised a number of issues - some of which we fixed ourselves - that could vastly improve the cottage.

  In particular, the mattresses are tired and quite uncomfortable. Although there are some mattress protectors one of the singles is very badly stained. The linen provided is tired and of poor quality and as for the little throws, given presumably for extra warmth if needed, they are very poor quality. There is still no blind in the double bedroom and this is needed because the street light is directly outside. As for the kitchen equipment, (we mentioned this before) it is poor. The knives are not sharp, there are insufficient pots and pans and baking dishes. We had insufficient tea towels and the oven tray is filthy. The cooker is old and even though we can cope with that, an extractor fan would be useful! All in all, it is a pity because without too much work it could be a very nice and comfortable place. It is a very convenient location and although we'd love to book again because we often go to Kingussie we regret we will have to try and find a more comfortable and better equipped place.

  We did enjoy our stay at Church View.

  So peaceful, very nice neighbours and gardens. Cottage was very nice and equipped not too bad, looks clean around the areas the eye can see. A few points to consider though : was very disappointing seeing stained mattresses on the 2 single beds. Perhaps an upgrade and a waterproof under sheet. Also pillows had some stains. Quite a lot of dust around the skirtings and under the beds. Kitchen bin and the bin area was very dirty inside and the seals around the fridge doors were dirty. A blind would be very welcome in the master bedroom. I don’t know if it was expected of us however the floors were hoovered and mopped before departure. These comments are not hard criticisms but observations and not everyone is as fussy as we are. To conclude, I would recommend this property to others and I would happily return for another stay. Thanks for a great time away.

  Simply outstanding.

  From the safe car parking area next to your cottage, to the enclosed large communal garden to the idyllic location of the cottages - this has it is all. The cottage itself (Birch) was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you’d need. The smart tv allows Netflix and Prime log ons, which you can then view from the comfortable couch after a day’s walking in the hills. Beds are superb and are clearly very expensive and luxurious leading to a superb night’s sleep. The owners Adam and Leanne are on hand should you need any advice or guidance on the area or your cottage. The whole set up and organisation when you’re there is one of a “safe space” and very comfortable. The location allows travel and visits to lots in the Cairngorms and is a super base. Thoroughly recommended.
