The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as 'spotlessly clean'. This suggests a well-maintained and hygienic environment, leading to a high score in this category.

The location is generally praised for its peacefulness and proximity to nature and local attractions. However, a few guests found the property difficult to locate and mentioned limited access to the stream, slightly lowering the score.

Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere. The presence of a conservatory is a highlight. Some concerns about low ceilings for taller individuals and the property's suitability for six people are noted.

The property is well-equipped according to guests, with everything needed for a stay. The presence of a large TV and good internet is appreciated. Some remarks about the small size of certain facilities and the desire for clearer instructions slightly affect the score.

  • Carolynne

    Very well equipped and comfortable. Our hosts, George and Anne met with us on arrival. Everything you could possibly need, they have provided. The location is quiet and peaceful with many different birds, including pheasants paying a visit for a feed. Would highly recommend this quaint little cottage to anyone looking for a holiday with plenty of walking or just to relax and watch the wildlife. George and Anne will make sure you have a fabulous time.

    Bird watching and pheasants. Lots to do places to go beaches and woods. Cafe in the village was lovely. Although I'd prefer a bit more counter top space in the kitchen. My parents enjoyed the shops in grantown on Spey. We got on with it. When on hols we don't rush to go everywhere. Would hope to get back there again some time in the summer.

  • Wendy

    Well equipped and very comfortable. We had many visiting birds every day, we even had deer visit us 3 times in the week we stayed. Blairgorm Croft is very dog friendly, our dog's could not wait to get out and explore the grounds at every day. Would recommend Blairgorm Croft for anyone looking to stay in this area. We had a lovely week thank you.
