Family Weekend Away
This house is lovely and ideal for a larger group (10 adults and a dog). Everything was clean and well kept. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need including an extra fridge in the utility. It has a lovely garden with plenty of room to sit out if the weather allows. Bathrooms are modern and large. Beds are clean and comfortable. Beautiful quiet location within walking distance of the local cafe/shop. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Had everything we needed
We were very happy with our stay. It had everything and more than we needed. The drying room was especially welcome as it rained nearly everyday of our stay and this enabled us to keep on adventuring!

Stay in Tomatin
The property is very spacious, clean and nice. There is everything that it might be needed for a pleasant stay. It’s sweetable for families with children. When we have arrived the host was lightened up the 2 stoves. It was warm enough at whole time. I recommend.

Long overdue family Christmas
We had a magical Christmas in the Cairngorms with the family including dogs. Beautiful house and garden which was perfect for us. Chris was brilliant to communicate with and super helpful in finding a hot tub for us to hire. Loads of space and amazingly well kitted out for our huge Christmas dinner!! Absolutely loved this place. The hidden bedroom was a blessing for my husband when he needed to hide from the nephews 😁

Beautiful home with amazing landscaping!
We truly enjoyed the home, lawn and the hospitality of Chris, our host! He was very responsive to anything we needed and was very helpful in suggesting what to do and what may not be so fun. The views from the home are stunning. We would definitely stay here again.
