Comfortable, spotlessly clean apartment, with all the mod cons you would expect. On the 3rd floor, lift available. Newton more is quiet and unspoilt. A welcoming golf course on your doorstep. Handy for Aviemore and the Cairngorms.

The flat was cold, the boiler needed to be repressurised.. Windows were draughty, misted due to condensation between panes & one could not be opened, (notice left to this effect).

Mr Opara, September 2020

The location was excellent,very quiet and peaceful located in a small villiage,if I were to be picky I would say there’s to many stairs, not so good if your elderly as the final flight of stairs are very narrow and steep and the bed was a little on the hard side.. There’s really only one grocery store in the villiage so be prepared to pay a little extra or load up with food before you arrive. We traveled 6 hours from Liverpool and I can honestly say we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks very much rick and Susan.

A great apartment for a couple.. Comfy bed, decent sized bedroom, nice bathroom, good eating arrangements, quiet and peaceful, very clean. It was a great base for walking locally and further afield in the Cairngorms. Plenty of space to hang wet waterproofs and leave boots just outside the apartment. Kitchen area adequate, maybe could do with a bit more equipment and small plates. Also the bed was a bit squeaky but these are just small niggles. We would definitely like to stay here again.

Just note that the double bed in this flat has a terrible squeak which meant that sleep was disturbed..

Mrs Hubkova

We had an amazing time in this clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment.. Located not long way drive from every part of highlands you may wish to visit and village has many lovely coffee shops, restaurants, post office, garage and other services. Highly recommended!! Thank you!!

My self and my wife stayed in this cosy Apartment for one week recently. Must Confess as a base for doing some nearby Climbing it was just Perfect. Apartment itself was just ideal. Spotlessly Clean and very quiet. Did not meet the owners but there was no need to as everything was arranged and taken care of in a professional manner. Price-wise it was excellent value for money. Would I recommend it - without Hesitation.

Nice well equipped apartment in a quiet village. Good location for walking and getting around the Cairngorms and Loch Ness. The Glen Hotel close by for good food and drink. One negative would be the fridge was noisy.

Mr Dracup

In the kitchen, perhaps some small welcome pack or essential items, such as salt and pepper, oil for cooking etc

We have just returned from a wonderful week of walking in our favourite part of Scotland. The weather was perfect and our accommodation at Monarch was excellent. Newtonmore is such a well - located village for walking. There are numerous hikes from the doorstep and the villagers so kind and friendly. We enjoyed a yummy meal and a beer or two in The Glen Hotel. It's always a joy to return to the highlands in Autumn particularly for my husband who grew up in this area..

Mr Fick

This property is perfectly located in Newtonmore near the intersection of the A86 and the A9 which makes it perfect for day trips into the Scottish highlands and out to the Isle of Skye by car.. It is perfectly set up for a couple to spend a week or two exploring northern Scotland. A family with a child could use the flat as well but there is only one bedroom so the child would have the option of sleeping on the couch in the living room (which is very comfortable) or on the futon in the bedroom with the parents. There was a baby crib in the bedroom closet that could be set up in the bedroom for an infant. The flat was very bright, exceptionally clean and everything worked perfectly. The owners were very easy to deal with as well. There is parking for a car in the parking lot right in front of the building off the street. Although the building is on the main street, the unit faces out the rear of the building so there was never any traffic noise at all. This unit is on the top floor of the building so we never heard any noise from any of the neighbors either. There is a lift up to the second floor but to get to this flat you need to climb one flight of stairs from there so this place may not be suitable for the very elderly or anyone who has difficulty with stairs. There are several pubs in Newtonmore, a small grocery store and a gas station which made preparing for our day trips very convenient. My wife and I looked at several dozen places before booking this place. We both agreed that this flat was by far the best value for the money of any of the places that we looked at and that we would recommend this place to family and friends.

Lovely apartment, with all the amenities you could need (tv, freeview, dvd, books, games, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine etc.). Good selection of pubs nearby. My only gripe was that the pillows were not very comfy, could do with replacing. Other than that, it was perfect! Would definitely recommend as a base for exploring Scotland and the Highlands.

We stayed here from September 17th-24th 2016 and had a fabulous time. The apartment is not only clean, it's well stocked, which isn't something we expected. Plenty of information is available about the area, even a large map of the surroundings. All the furnishings are clearly looked after, and it's clearly been decorated with such thought, it was a home from home for us whilst we were away. Previous reviews were right about the kitchen being a joy to cook in and there being a fabulous power shower. There's also a very spacious bedroom, large bed, plenty of storage and an every so comfortable large sofa to unwind on after the many many different days outside in the Scottish Highlands. Everybody we met in Newtonmore was welcoming and friendly, which was really just the icing on the cake. 100% recommend this apartment. From the ease of booking to value for money, it's helped make our holiday fantastic and create memories we wouldn't be without. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

We have stayed here twice now for the village golf week in August, it suits us perfectly. The apartment is in the centre of the village and is a mere walk to the golf course. Plenty of room to store our golf bags and trollies in the lobby area. The flat is on the top floor but there is a lift if required. in the flat everything is there for your trip, washing machine, dish washer, central heating, you just have to bring you and your clothes. The bedroom is a large size with plenty of storage and also houses a couple of extra mattresses if you have folk round to stay, the lounge is suitably big enough to accommodate three more. there is obviously cooking facilities but then why bother when there is a good range and selection of places to eat all within five minutes of walking. We love this apartment as our base, couldn't be better.

The apartment is one of the best places we've stayed in Scotland. Being at the top floor of a former very elegant hotel, you have surrounding views of mountains, the town of Newtonmore, trees and the skies, so it almost feels like your own - extremely comfortable - tree house. We are a couple travelling with our 3 year old daughter and found entertainment for adults and children in the apartment, the amenities were all we needed (dishwasher and washing machine included!) and the location within Newtonmore and in the Cairngorm Mountains is simply great. When we come back to Newtonmore or the are, we would always pick this place!

Mrs Serban

The apartment is in a wonderful building, the views are great as you can see in almost all directions and wildlife is abundant. Every evening we felt at home with the big choice of books, games and DVDs. Absolutely loved it!

Mrs Dallas

Apartment was clean and well appointed, it worked well for our family of four with plenty of space. We had a lovely break in Newtonmore and we would recommend.

Absolutely superb property. We'll equipped, beautifully done out. Could have happily moved in!

A high quality apartment done out beautifully. It was spotlessly clean with a powerful shower, great if you are hill walkers! The kitchen was very well equipped and all the utensils and china of high quality. Kitchen was a joy to cook in and just like being at home and normally I dislike holiday home kitchens. Bedroom was large and roomy with great views and very comfortable sitting room. In a great location right in the centre of Newtonmore village and easy access to lots of activities. Only improvement could have been the provision of wifi as it is a 3g blackspot. I would happily have paid more for this, but I knew when I booked it had no wifi. Could get BT wifi in lobby area. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to go back! Must see the highland folk museum as just a short walk down the road and try the The Grill at Newtonmore for a great breakfast.

We booked this appartment as a starting point for tours all through the highlands, and we had everything we needed. It is a modern and very clean appartment, which is very good equiped. Everything we needed to know about the appartment and the surroundings was explained in detail.

Excellent apartment in a great location.

Un apartamento MUY Limpio Y MUY Bien Equipado, Situado EN EL Centro DE Escocia SE Puede Utilizar Como base Para Conocer la Isla.Lo Unico es QUE EL Jardin QUE dice la Foto QUE Tiene no es Cierto Tiene UNa PequeÑA Zona DE Cesped a la Entrada Donde ESTÁ EL aparcamiento.
