We were surprised by the size and quality of the apartment. There was even a large decorated Christmas tree in the living room. Everything was perfect and we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

We took dinner in hotels pub. We had dinner at the hotel pub which serves excellent local food. A truly wonderful experience.

At the check-in it started with a warm welcome and at the check-out it felt like leaving good friends.... In the meantime we had a perfect holiday in a beautiful, quiet room with a nice garden view, excellent breakfast, delicious dinner and relaxing evenings in a familiar atmosphere in the bar. Thanks a lot to Mark and Lucy for making us feel at home.

Stunning views! Beautifully made log cabin nestled on the hill side overlooking the Loch Insh. The pictures don’t do justice for this place. It very well exceeded our expectations. Truely Highlands feel … The staff were amazing and very friendly. One morning when we were having breakfast outside the chalet, one of the restaurant staff stopped by for a chat and offered to take a photo of our family.

I had imagined Aviemore to be an old town like Pitlochry and Dunkeld, but in fact all the buildings in the Main Street seem to be fairly new, apart from the railway station. It has lots of shops selling outdoor clothing, and is not very attractive architecturally.

We went to Ballater to be close to Balmoral Castle, where we went to an artisans market on the grounds. We were there in October, so opening of other parts of the castle were not available, due to royal residence use. I would return to this beautiful part of Scotland again if given the chance, to see more of the castle.

The countryside in autumn was spectacular.

The countryside in autumn was spectacular. There are lots of local walks to suit different levels of fitness. The Spey is nearby so iconic itself and for the whisky distilleries along its banks. Interesting local shops. Fresh local produce. Nice folk. Close enough for trips to the Moray Coast and Cairngorms. Golf, fishing, garden nurseries all in easy reach.

Kingussie is ideal for people who want beautiful walks or a bit of climbing or cycling. There’s a fantastic bike shop called Bothy Bikes where you can hire e- bikes to explore the area. The scenery in this area is outstandingly beautiful. There is the potential to see local wildlife if you are quiet.

Boat of Garten is a small village which has some good features and services, including a pub, a village store, pizza shop, art gallery and historic railway station. It is well located in relation to forest walks and other outdoor activities. For any significant shopping you needs to travel nearby Aviemore, 4.5 miles away. We preferred the peace and quiet of Boat of Garten for our stay in the area.

Nestled amongst the mountains with paths and tracks leading all over what’s not to like? Sadly, the general facilities here have gone. No shop for example. One place did have a sign out for coffee, but there could be an opportunity here for someone. Worth climbing up the Cateran Trail heading south to get stunning views looking down on the village. Also visit the stone circle, old bridge and the church. Just soak up the atmosphere!

Very disappointing stay.

Very disappointing stay. Staff were rude and unhelpful - especially at breakfast. Dining staff Bella’s behaviour was shockingly unprofessional and not acceptable. Dirty, smelly rooms, one with a broken bed. Complaints were brushed off with a simple “sorry.” We booked 4 rooms for family visiting from Canada and deeply regret choosing this hotel. Definitely not worth the 4-star rating.
