The owners of the cottage greeted us upon arrival and explained how everything worked which was really good.. The cottage was excellent very warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. Sitting in the conservatory was lovely watching the birds on the bird feeder .we had a wonderful time .

We had a marvellous time staying at Blairgorm croft as our base for visiting the highland wildlife park, landmark, Spey Bay, the local lochs and the reindeer centre.. The bird life at the croft was amazing and we enjoyed seeing the woodpecker, collared doves, pheasant, and various smaller birds who were regular visitors to the bird feeders. A well equipped and most comfortable place to stay. We liked it so much that we have booked to return next year.

Very quiet location with lots of bird life to entertain us on the feeding station we put up , we hope future quests will keep the feeders topped up..

Location of cottage brilliant to visit cairngorm bird and wildlife sites.. We also visited the Scottish Wildlife Park 45 mins and Channoray Point on the Murray Firth to take in the Forth resident dolphins feeding on the salmon 40 to 50 meters from the shore what a site. Check tide times and go on the incoming 1-2 hours before high tide. If you get up 5-6am red and fallow deer can be spotted near to the cottage and in the wood across the stream below the cottage car park. Enjoy your break as we did.

Blairgorm Croft is in an ideal position for visiting so many places - Highland Wildlife Park, Osprey Centre, Aviemore, Loch Morlich, Cairngorm, Whisky distilleries, Strathspey Railway, Tomintoul, Nairn beach and so many other places.. The setting is peaceful and relaxed with everything you need in the house and beautiful areas to sit outside and enjoy the wildlife and scenery. Nearby villages and scenery are all different and each has a different history. Food was excellent for all dietary requirements in a wide selection of places to eat. An ideal place for a holiday whatever the weather or ages of holiday makers. Lots to see and do.

Nethy Bridge is a nice wee village,well served by hotels! Grantown on Spey is good for shopping and walking roundabout and nearby, Boat of Garten has a lovely gallery combined with coffee shop. Famous as the viewing spot for Ospreys there are excellent walks around the loch. The steam railway from Aviemore to Nethy Bridge via Boat of Garten provided hours of fun and photos for my husband. Aviemore is somewhat over developed, but a M&S food store was under construction whilst we were staying so that will improve things. Good place for a comb through the charity shops. The environment is a stunning location with every kind of activity to suit children of all ages! I urge you to visit. We visit Scotland every year and will be torn between returning to the West Coast which we love, and this gorgeous area. I cannot, sadly, be so enthusiastic about either the cottage in which we stayed or the agency through whom it was booked. The agency were fine at dealing with difficulties whilst we were there, but totally ignored the review which I took the time to write on our return. We travel as a family of 4 - 3 adults and a teenage boy. I always book accommodation for 6 so that we have plenty of space, but this cottage is so small that we felt very cramped and on top of each other. Unusually for Scotland we had some very good weather so were able to make use of the outside furniture otherwise the constriction might have become unbearable. The fact that it is possible to fit 2 double beds and two singles is not, in my view sufficient cause to claim that a property is suitable for 6 people. The dining table is designed for 4 - adding 2 folding chairs does not make it bigger and the space in which it sits is cramped. The "sitting room' (a standard sized conservatory) just about contains two three seater sofas, but 6 people sitting on them would be very cosy - knee to knee and elbow to elbow! We had nice chats with the neighbour, but if you are seeking privacy or a property set away from neighbours this is not the place. The photos are skillfully taken, but there are two more rentals on the lane and a permanent family who are very overlooked by the conservatory. I believe that the description says that the garden is fenced - do not think this means that your children or animals are in any way contained as the lane runs between the house and garden and is the access for the other properties. The upstairs toilet is a macerator and the water supply to the property is idiosyncratic. There is no hanging space in the upstairs double and the upstairs twin has a small rail. My conclusion is that it is very small - expect the space that you would get in a caravan.

This cottage is so well equipped it was a pleasure to stay in.. As a family of 5 ( 3 children under 12) it was in the perfect setting that allowed us to relax, the kids to explore and gave us easy access to the Cairngorms and the coast.

We stopped at this cottage-Converted Croft as it was advertised and sounded to be very similar to other cottages we have rented in the Cairngorm mountains area. The cottage itself is in a very good location for what we do as in photography. The bedrooms are an average size with two upstairs and one downstairs however the downstairs bedroom still has a short flight of about five stairs should anyone have any issues with them, there is also steps in the kitchen/Dinning room down into the conservatory witch is used as a living room. The cottage itself is showing signs of some updating needed in places. The on-suite in the bedroom is very small and the ceiling height very low in the shower and through the property. the upstairs toilet wouldn't flush at all. The heating has been updated to the ground floor but not the upstairs bedroom and found them cold and hard to get heated up with basic convector type heaters. The cottage we found overall ok but needed a proper cleaning and the many small repairs sorted out. Parking area needs to be properly gravelled or some sort of stone to help with the mud situation getting into the cottage and into your car and on your cloths. please note that it is not a disabled friendly cottage.

The owners of the property met us on our arrival as they have been upgrading their heating system.. The couple gave us a warm welcome, were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Charming little cottage in an extremely picturesque part of the world.

Just back after a spending a relaxing week at this lovely croft. It has 3 double bedrooms one with an on suite, the other two have wash basins. The croft was lovely and warm as we had snow and storm Henry during our stay, and wifi, dishwasher, washer dryer and a large screen tv, it has all mod cons. Very peaceful off the beaten track. Local woods to walk in, and plenty to do near by. The RSPB Osprey Centre is just 5 miles away where we saw red squirrels. Grantown on Spay is also just 5 miles away and Avimore 12 miles. I really enjoyed my time at the croft and would like to return on day.
