It overlooks trees out the back and feels very secluded. The hosts were helpful and offered us maps for hiking in the area as well as being on hand if we needed anything. The facilities were adequate for a short stay and reflected the fair price. We found that the property was clean enough but could have used a deeper clean in parts. We slept well in a comfortable bed, but we did find the property was a bit chilly throughout our stay. The woodburner was a great addition to solve this and we appreciated the complimentary wood to start us off. Kitchen facilities were basic and fine for simple meals. The bathroom facilities did the job but the shower wasn't particularly powerful. Overall, the property is good value for money for a 'base' from which to explore the Cairngorms.
