The property is in a great location and served as a good base for hiking and trips further afield by train. The facilities in the property are okay. The hot water system takes a bit of getting used to - there were only two of us and we had to be careful not to use too much hot water. There wasnât much information on arrival - a welcome pack would have been useful. All-in-all, we thought it was good value for money.

Op een fijne locatie. Goed gelegen, dichtbij winkels, bezienswaardigheden, wandelstartpunten. Jammer dat er geen vaatwasser is. Tuintje ligt veel hoger en is via steile trap te bereiken. Zeer handig dat er een wasmachine, droogmolen en wasspelden zijn.

The cottage is lovely and exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed. Kingussie itself has shops, pubs and restaurants all within very easy walking distance. We will certainly re-book if we return to the area.
