Stunning cottage in peaceful location. Spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Simply couldn't fault the place and already giving thought to our next visit. |
|
None! |

It is a lovely and unique house with beautiful and peaceful surroundings. We very much enjoyed reading on the veranda and going for walks, admiring all the old trees. |
|
The bed in the downstairs bedroom wasn’t nicely made. The sheet were very wrinkly (as if not properly folded when still wet) and there were different hairs all over (cats, dogs?).
The first thing I did the next morning was wash all the linen as I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in that bed (I started imagining that the linen hadn’t been changed at all after the last guests…).
Then I wanted to take a hot shower but there was only warmish water in the downstairs shower (even after waiting for 5 minutes), so finally we used the upstairs one which worked perfectly.
Also the upstairs bedroom smelled “funny” as if the windows hadn’t been opened for weeks. We found out later that evening that there are hundreds of bats living in the outside wall and obviously using it for a toilet as well, therefore the stench in the room.
The overall cleanliness wasn’t perfect either. The kitchen wasn’t that clean and there were crumbles on the floor in the dining room.
All in all we had a pleasant stay in a unique accommodation, but I would have expected more, especially for this price.

I liked the surrounding countryside. I also liked being able to order a shop 0nline. Overall good quality. |
|
when we first stayed at the cottage a few years ago it was really spit-spot. This time we felt there was some essential work to the outside could be looked at. for eg we noticed quite a large piece of timber had fallen onto the decking area (which didn't bother us just saying) I found the way the cooking utensils in the cupboard awfully untidy and messy the way they have been put away. But these were just superficial points to make. We enjoyed our stay and will prob be back again. |

We stayed in the Boathouse for a week, and found it to be absolutely magical. Hidden away in a little valley, surrounded by trees, and with it's own private lake, we felt completely removed from the rest of the world. The property is close enough to the Cairngorms and other locations that you can venture out during the day, and come home to luxury at night. We didn't even mind on the one day that the weather kept us inside, as we were just able to enjoy the property and read and relax in comfort. Whats more, the Country Cottage Holiday company were constantly pleasant, and on-call to answer any problems or questions, no matter the time. All in all, a perfect trip! |
|
I cannot think of anything that didn't work or that we had a problem with.
Oh - one very minor thing. We wanted to put the heating on at one point, and without a manual or instructions had to guess how to do it. We managed to figure it out fairly quickly, but it might be worth putting simple instructions somewhere obvious? Unless you did and we missed them! |

Absolutely fantastic location. Saw oodles of wildlife but didn't get to see the pine martins or otters that others commented upon so will have to return!
Thank you Julie. |

Loved the personal service in booking.
The location was amazing.
Really well appointed house and comfortable.
Loved the bird feeders.
Love the book about the house and estate.
Really enjoyed being able to sit outside on the verrandah and just watch and listen! |
|
We offer these in the spirit of improvement - we really did enjoy enjoy our time at the house.
superking size or zip n link beds (or in at least one of the bedrooms) would make this house totally perfect and irresistible.
Couldn't find any information or maps about the walks on the estate.

For those of us with arthritic hands, the door lock is difficult to close. |

We liked the peaceful location and the high standard of accommodation.
The welcome pack of bagels, jam, butter and milk was lovely. |
|
We found the fan in the downstairs ensuite was very noisy.
I found the spiral staircase quite difficult to come down as I was worried about slipping. Possibly if it was carpeted it would feel safer.
I would have liked a small flat screen TV on the wall in the kitchen to watch breakfast TV.
Overall we loved it! |
