Absolutely brilliant house!
Can’t say enough about how fab this house is. We were 3 generations and it worked brilliantly for everyone. Loads of space, everything you need and more in the kitchen, comfy beds, as everyone else has said the garden is brilliant and I want to take the sunroom home with me. We all spent hours sitting reading in there, looking out for wildlife. Highly recommend (although don’t want too many people to know about it!) and will definitely be back. Thanks Ian!

Perfect for a family holiday
The property is amazing, really spacious and the huge garden and games in the garage were a huge hit with the kids. Loads of walks from the door and Lochs nearby for water-sports it really is the ideal base for an active, outdoors family. The sunroom was perfect to read and recharge the batteries and the kitchen was really well equipped. Would absolutely recommend.

Highland adventures
This wonderful cozy cottage was the perfect location for our highland adventures. Easy to find, but out of the way! The home is nicely laid out. As Americans, use appliances,outlets, etc. differently . it would have been helpful to have critical switches labeled. For example we inadvertently turned off the kitchen refrigerator by turning its switch off. This switch was located along the wall, above the counter in the same places the light switched were located.

A wonderful Whitsun week
Following a beautiful week staying at this property in October we couldn’t wait to make a return visit. A superb home from home. Very comfortable and so spacious. Fantastic large garden leading to the river - we had our evening meals outside. Particularly love the garden room.

First visit to region
We all have been very pleasantly surprised by this property. Such a great village and situation for the Cairngorms. Big plot, excellent sized rooms and all the amenities needed to have a wonderful stay. A week really isn't long enough. Would definitely return. Very dog friendly too. Hosts are great, as are the friendly neighbours.

Ideal house for 2 families
A lovely spacious homey house with a double bedroom, twin bedroom and bathroom on both floors so ideal for 2 families sharing. The wood burner was very cosy. The upstairs shower was slightly temperamental temperature-wise. We loved reading and chatting in the garden room and the kids were thrilled with the games garage!

Perfect Christmas Getaway
First time travelling to Scotland and I think we chose the best possible home and location.
The house was absolutely stunning both in size, location and ammenities. We felt right at home and the kids loved having their own rooms and the extra play equipment in the garage. The images of the garden dont do it justice and was lovely being so close to the river as well.
Nethy Bridge is wonderful little village with a small Spar for essentials but otherwise perfectly located to see some of the Highlands. Inverness, Loch Ness, Aviemore and the Cairngorm Mountains all close by.
We were lucky enough to have snow just after Christmas and the whole scenery was magical covered in snow.
Thanks so much for opening your house to us.

Everything we were looking for
We spent a great week in Nethybridge for our Easter holidays. The house had everything we needed and more, my 10-year-old particularly loved the swing in the garden and the table tennis and dart board in the garage. Don't miss the walk down the river into the village and we can highly recommend the Nethy House cafe. It's a great base for walkers and cyclists and we hope to visit again next year.

A peaceful winter break in beautiful region which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.
Due to Covid requirements, the airing of the house during a cold snap is a bit of a shock when you first enter. The house took a while to warm but once warm held the heat quite well. There are a few small maintenance jobs needed and some appliances defective but this doesn't deflect from what is a comfortable house, ideal as a base for exploring the Scottish Highlands
