The apartment was cosy and had everything we needed. There was plenty to do - good walking, interesting Clan Macpherson museum and the wonderful folk museum AND it is all free! This is certainly a property that we would have no hesitation in staying at again.

Clean and well maintained. It contained everything we needed for our stay. Great location for exploring the Cairngorms National Park. The only thing that would have made our stay even better is an electric fan as it was a particularly hot week and it did get hot up in the roof. However, we were grateful to have such good weather for our holiday! Thanks for a great week!
