From the safe car parking area next to your cottage, to the enclosed large communal garden to the idyllic location of the cottages - this has it is all. The cottage itself (Birch) was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything youâd need. The smart tv allows Netflix and Prime log ons, which you can then view from the comfortable couch after a dayâs walking in the hills. Beds are superb and are clearly very expensive and luxurious leading to a superb nightâs sleep. The owners Adam and Leanne are on hand should you need any advice or guidance on the area or your cottage. The whole set up and organisation when youâre there is one of a âsafe spaceâ and very comfortable. The location allows travel and visits to lots in the Cairngorms and is a super base. Thoroughly recommended.
