Just spent a great week at Rottal Farmhouse in the sunshine with our 3 teenage boys.. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated with different animal themes in each bedroom. It is very well kitted out and we enjoyed cooking most of our meals in the Aga and eating them in the dining room. House is also in range for supermarket home delivery. Lovely views from the house across the glen at the front and of the hillsmountains from the back. We enjoyed days out walking up DrieshMayar, fishing up at Loch Wharral and cycling around the loop of road between Gella bridge and Clova. Also had a meal out one evening at Glen Clova Hotel. Would thoroughly recommend a holiday in this lovely hideaway.

Lovely house- very comfortable with a great location near the hillls.. We would highly recommend.
We could have done with a bit more crockery and an easy method of switching the general heating on while waiting on the stoves to heat the tooms

We enjoyed our stay at Rottal Farmhouse.. The property is large and well suited for a large family who wants to spread out. The enclosed garden was great for our dog as well. Nice touches like candles and a welcome cake. The beds are super comfy and having a wood burner in the lounge was a bonus, even in July!
The cottage is remote, but it is ideal for getting away from it all. We recommend the walks at Glen Doll, although the car park can get busy so get there early! The Glen Cova Hotel was just open after lockdown and we had a decent meal there.

This was our second visit to this property - and as the first we were delighted.. It is just as published - very comfy, warm, perfect location and a wonderful retreat.
Yes it is off the beaten track, yes it is at least 15 miles away from anywhere which delightful. The scenery, the escapism, the beauty, the comfort all go to make it a perfect break.
Would highly recommend this cottage - well worth every penny.

Yes TV reception was erratic for even the basic channels although we weren't bothered that BBC or ITV were regularly unobtainable.. Vincent and his wife were very helpful with any issues.
The location was stunning!

Lovely, comfortable and characterful farmhouse in a stunning location.. Perfect for our New Year family holiday. Would highly recommend, Especially loved the cosy kitchen with Aga and spacious sitting room with log burner and appreciated the comfortable beds.

The Beauty of Glen Clova and the perfect location to hill walk and see nature .... The Beauty of Glen Clova and the perfect location to hill walk and see nature fauna and Flaura at its best
We had Beautiful weather and the cottage allowed a family party to have a reunion and perfect stay at the southern edge of the Caingorms
The House was spacious and the Aga made it Home From Home
The sitting room was tastefully furnished with pleasant sporting prints decorating the Walls
Fishing was available from the estate and lovely to find a trust system in place to pay for the fishing taken on the Lochs
No mobile phone signal was a blessing but there was internet Access at the house that allow one to keep in touch with the outside world
A real get away and a lovely week at the begining of June

Spent a fantastic weekend in Rottal Farmhouse.. Idyllic location and excellent facilities. Superbly kitted out kitchen and cosy living room were the highlights. Climbed nearby Munro's Mayar and Driesh then spent the evenings relaxing in the farmhouse. Would recommend a stay in Rottal Farmhouse to everybody!

Beautiful old farm house, bit remote but we had a great relaxing holiday with kids.. Would be good If had more information regarding places to visit locally with kids/ bike trails etc. There were leaflets etc but someone with a bit more local knowledge may have supplied us with some nice places to visit. All said I still had a lovely break and house was gorgeous traditional farmhouse with loads of space.

The booking process was excellent - and having used Sykes for over 5 years once again the listing, cottage and process was excellent.. The cottage was first class - absolutely loved it - sat nav post code was good. I was particularly impressed with the facilities - my only comment would be some instruction for first time users of an aga. The weather was particularly kind to us - beautiful snow the week before - one rainy day - and the rest of the week perfect !
I particularly praise the App for Sykes - it is an excellent tool and has made looking forward to the holiday so much easier and shareable.

Very good size cottage for 8 people.. Good size family space . Great sized kitchen, which was always hot thanks to the Aga stove. Some of the rooms paintwork is a bit tired but nothing you couldn't live with. Wonderful views and walks. Maybe as an idea a secure fenced area at the front or rear for the dog would be helpful.
