Dec 2006 | The cottage was in a lovely location which was great for walks. Very peaceful with a pretty outlook. The cottage was very cosy and warm. We particularly enjoyed cooking and eating in the large kitchen, which has large windows overlooking the garden.

Oct 2006 | Cottage is very good (this was our second visit) and the position of Kingussie is very central, so it is possible to see a lot of interesting countryside and places.
Mr Lee, Worthing, West Sussex
Sep 2006 | Fab area to explore, not enough time to do it all.
Mr Cotterell, Wokingham, Berkshire
Aug 2006 | The pictures in the brochure do not do the cottage justice. The owners were extremely pleasant when we met them. There was more than enough information left at the cottage about trips within the area. The location was ideally suited for what we required. Very quiet just what you need for a relaxing evening after walking/biking all day.
