Our family has had the privilege of experiencing Fronthill 6 times now.. We just don't see the point in going anywhere else anymore! It's got everything we needed for a restful, energising, expansive, easy going, live like a local holiday. Cottage feels like an exclusive castle on the inside. The inside is so connected to the outside via massive, crystal clear windows that take in the breathtaking expanse of the Cairngorms. The view you could walk miles, days even, to just sit and experience the awe of that. It is priceless considering the comfort. The most expensive of hotels could never match the quality of Fronthill. My work has ment a few stop over nights during lock down and Fronthill is the cleanest, safest, considerate covid safe accommodation we've stayed in yet. I'll never be tired of this place, it's fresh and new every time. Kids, dog, granny, grumpy auntie, moody teenager, we were a family equally keen to come back when ever we can. Ps, there's lots to do in the area but we preferred to live from the doorstep. Cheeper too. Thanks so much Fronthill, you've healed us again.

House sits on its own higher up and has great views of the mountains all around.. The large lounge windows mean that you always have these views and you can easily access paths onto the moor road behind the house. Road up a bit rough and not good for cars that are low to the ground. Would recommend as you have a feeling of isolation yet are in Newtonmore.

This is a great place to stay.. This is our third year here. We have booked again for next year. The location is fantastic and the house does everything that you would want a holiday house to do.

Love this place, 2nd time back in last 6 months.. Views are stunning and cottage is very well equipped. If you like cooking, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils- this is normally a rarity in a holiday let. Walks from door step are awesome, can go for miles. Can't fault this place, could happily live there!! We will come back again. Thanks for a fab stay.

Mrs Eccles, February 2020

Just returned from a lovely week at an amazing property, with stunning views, especially when it snowed.. Well equipped kitchen. Photos do not actually do property any justice, it is a lot bigger than the photos suggest. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely return. Narrow dirt track road to property did not cause us any bother even in the snow, despite us driving in a large van. Neil Hamilton and Family.

I am just back from me second visit to this cottage where I went to spend my fiftieth birthday. The location is fantastic the cottage gives a wonderful sense of isolation with truly magnificent views from every direction. Yet it is just on the edge of the village of Newtonmore which is very convenient if like us and you do not bring a car. There are magnificent walks directly from the cottage with different grades of walk to suit all abilities. The cottage is all on level. The rooms are very spacious. One double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a smaller room with bunkbeds. The lounge is fantastic for the views you don’t know where to look first. The cottage is well equipped throughout with all you need for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well equipped enabling you to cook properly rather than having to make do like so many other cottages. The WiFi was first rate it felt very decadent streaming hd tv enjoying a roaring fire with a mountain backdrop. An honesty box is provided for logs which is very convenient and a thoughtful touch. I have nothing negative to say about this place it snowed like crazy on my birthday we had a great time and will definitely go back in the future.

This is an amazing place to staff.. The cottage is in such of superb location. The views are magnificent and there is lots to do around the area. Just sitting in the garden you can see so much of the local wildlife (golden eagles etc). The house itself is very comfortable, light and airy. It has all you could need in a holiday cottage. We have already had two holidays here and have booked our next Scottish holiday in this gem of a let.

This is a comfortable and well-appointed cottage in an idyllic location with superb views over to the hills.. Newtonmore makes an excellent centre for a walking and many other kinds of holiday.

Great property in a fabulous location.. Could not find any faults at all.

March 2019

We booked last October and 3 days into the holiday I loved it so much I booked Fronthill for this April week and again this coming October.. That's how good it is. No point going anywhere else because Fronthill has it all. The million dollar view that changes constantly, wonderful walks from the door, the friendly down to earth locals, the highland folk museum, cafes, a small supermarket you can walk too so hardly used the car, the wild cat trail, the wind ,the sun, the sheep, the bubbling burns, mountains, hills, snow, rain then more snow then sunny again. The house is light, spacious, cosy warm, beds so comfy, facilities perfect. Great for kids especially. Toys and games kept us connected as a family with hardly any internet browsing because we were so busy. Now that's priceless. Cant thank the owners enough for sharing this very special gem.

This is a great cottage in a fantastic location with views to die for out of every window! It is a very well equipped cottage and a real home from home. The area is well placed to visit the Cairngorms national park with all of it’s villages and attractions and there are many great walks straight from the door and in the vicinity of Newtonmore.

Mr Jackson

Cottage excellent apart from windows needed cleaning and track to cottage not suitable for older cars..

Mr Betts

We had the most fantastic time.. The house has all the comforts you would want and need in a home away from home. The views are stunning, the location was one of the best we have stopped at. The range of activities that you can do on your doorstep is brilliant. Our 3 children loved it so much that they didn’t want to leave.

Bonjour, Nous avons loué cette magnifique maison au coeur des Cairngorms. C'est un endroit idyllique...calme et tranquillité absolue. Deux petits chemins de randonnées passent devant et à côté, idéal si vous avez des chiens. Vos voisins, des moutons et chevaux : Au poil pas un bruit. Le confort de cette maison est impressionnant, il ne manque rien sauf peut-être la cafetière électrique pour les puristes :) Grand jardin pour profiter de la vue magnifique. Je recommande pour les passionnés de Rando, amoureux de la nature ou ceux qui veulent le calme. Le propriétaire David, est dispo et a répondu à toutes nos questions et attentes. Le village a un magasin COOP, plusieurs pubs et restaurants, ainsi qu'une station service. N'hésitez pas foncez !

Amazing cottage in a stunning location.. The garden was perfect for a dog as was fully enclosed. The views from the lounge were stunning! Less than 45 mins from Aviemore, Cairgorm, Dalwhinnie... What more could you want!

Lovely cottage, very clean, warm and comfortable.. Stunning views and walks into the heart of the mountains from the doorstep. Amenities close by. Would certainly recommend this cottage and would definitely consider coming again. Thank you.

We were with five adults from the Netherlands having a great stay at Frontview Cottage, It is situated at a beautiful spot on walking distance to the village of Newtonmore.. Having cooked the most days by our selves the kitchen was provided with everything we needed. Suggestions for cottage improvement would be to replace the bathroom separated hot & cold water valve of the sink for a mixed hot/cold water valve. We have mist a separate toilet. We loved the opportunities for walks in the backcountry of Newtonmore and the advantage of the nearby train station. Thanks the owners for tip of The Letterbox restaurant, we had a lovely diner for a good price, surely recommended.

Mr De Greef, October 2016

Very nice cottage with full facilities, spacious and comfortable.. This cottage would certainly be our first choice if we stay in the area again.

Mr Jones

Liked the cottage being situated in a beautiful, scenic and quiet location that was a short walk to the village.

Mr Allen, October 2016

This is a beautiful house, with lots of light and amazing views all around.. The facilities were excellent, and everything you could think of was provided. Very comfortable and homely. The only thing missing was a BBQ :)

Mr Andrea, July 2016
