Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean and tidy, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition upon arrival.
The cottage is lauded for its peaceful setting, yet it is conveniently located within walking distance of Kingussie's main street, offering easy access to shops, pubs, and walking trails.
Many guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, especially praising the bed and the warmth provided by the log burner. However, a few guests mention the sofa and mattress could be improved.
The property is well-regarded for its well-equipped kitchen and cleanliness. Some guests suggest minor improvements, such as updating the shower and addressing a broken cupboard catch.
While guests mention the provision of wood for the log burner and the helpfulness of the hosts, there is no consistent reference to gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Rafa and Allison couldn't have been more gracious hosts. Before arrival, I was concerned about heating during December. They were more than happy to share their firewood for the wood stove. I had to insist on compensating them for it, since it wasn't part of the complimentary basket they already provide. I had no issues keeping the cottage warm during some of the coldest days of the year. I highly recommend the cottage, location, and the hosts.

First time we had been but definitely not the last time. Very handy for shops and pub. Everything we wanted was there. Lovely watching the blue tits feeding their young in the box and the rabbits that came out on the lawn every evening. I give it a 4 for comfort as we found the mattress very soft and the sofa hard.
