This is the second time we have stayed at Alvey House and again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.. Would highly recommend it to any large group to use it after the Co-vid crisis is over.

Comfortable house in commanding position.. Good location in pleasant village. Lots to do for activity lovers but also restful.

This has been my third time to Alvey House, and it has provided a very relaxing break once again.. The owners keep making improvements, and it is now a very comfortable and cosy place to stay, and in an ideal location for us. We intend to come back again.

Mr Macmillan, November 2019

Absolutely loved Alvey House.. It has everything you need and more. The house was spotless and very well kept. We will definitely return.

September 2019

We had a lovely family experience at Alvey house.. There were 15 adults and 2 children but it didn't feel crowded as there was plenty of space for all of us. We loved the large dining table where we could all eat together. The only small criticism would be that as the weather was getting colder there was not enough coal provided. We had an elderly mum and a couple of guests with health issues who felt the cold and loved to sit in the lounge with the fire lit. We were however able to purchase coal at the local co-op. The area is lovely and we found plenty to do. We would definitely consider returning to Alvey house.

Mrs Mccormack, September 2019

We are a local history group who go away for 4 nights in September every year and we all agreed that Alvey House was one of the best we have stayed in..

Great house! We were a group of friends who regularly spend a week in Scotland for hill-walking. The house was an ideal size with very comfortable bedrooms and plenty space across the 2 kitchens for a large group to manage evening cooking and morning breakfast/prep of packed lunches. With everyone having their own toilet/shower there was no queuing for facilities and we were never short of hot water. Really appreciated having a large dining room and table that gave everyone plenty space and a good view too. Easy to pop out to the local Co-op and lots to do on our doorstep when the weather wasn't so great for doing Munros.

Alvey House was the perfect venue for a weekend away for our party of 7 couples.. Each couple had a very comfortable room with their own ensuite bathroom.The whole house was spotless clean from top to bottom, and the views of the Cairngorm mountains from the front of the house are simply stunning. The house has plenty of room for entertaining, whether it be in the lounge with the open fire, or the huge dining room with a table which easily accommodated our party of 14. With a 5min walk from the town all hotels/pubs and shops are within easy reach. All in all, we had a fantastic weekend and are hoping to make a return visit next year.

We went to this property for a family celebration and it was perfect for that.. The whole family enjoyed the provision of a property that was so well placed for numerous attractions and was itself situated in gorgeous surroundings. All rooms but 1 were en-suite - the one without its own bathroom was only a short distance from the family bathroom. All the beds were comfortable - a very pleasant surprise. The double kitchen was a particular hit with us - and the 2 dishwashers made life so much easier. We felt we had seldom been to a better appointed house - everything we wanted was provided. There was no TV in the main sitting room (though there was one in the small sitting room) and not all rooms had their own TV - no problem for us but may be for some holidaymakers. The only other observation we'd make was the lacl of power in the showers - not a problem, just a wee disappointment. We loved Alvey House and hope to return for our next family celebration.

The house was perfect in terms equipment, comfort and of location with lots to see and do in the vicinity.. The back garden was well fenced so not even the discerning small dog or child could escape. We all had a wonderful holiday and Alvey House definitely played a big part in the enjoyment.
