Lovely clean, warm and comfortable house, beautiful quiet setting, my brothers dog stayed with us for a few days and he enjoyed the big garden with all the new smells, plenty of places to go on walks right from the front door, we saw a gold crest for the first time on the trees outside the house, would definitely stay again

Garden was only enclosed on two sides one side was open into forest, river and pond regularly used by the outdoor centre next door. Property described as very quiet and private this was not so, people feeding horses out front a few times a day acceptable but the noise from the large groups of youngsters/people from the outdoor centre that were using the pond etc. right next to the open garden, spent alot of time watching my dog when outside because she is only a pup 12 months and was terrified of her following the voices of the youngsters and getting lost in the forest (she loves kids/missed our grandkids) we wrongly assumed from the photos of the property that the garden ideal for dogs was enclosed. We would not stay there again but the property was in a lovely setting and area, we loved Aviemore area, bungalow was well equiped, clean and warm and probably more suited to younger people into hiking etc

WiFi signal exceeded expectations given the remote location. Thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday lots of time spent in the woods making up games with our 4 year old and visiting some of the local attractions. This is the 4th time we have stayed in feshiebridge and this is our favourite property, will definitely be booking again next year
