A well equipped house, with plenty of space for the whole family to relax. Bedrooms were very spacious and whole house was spotless. Having the large enclosed garden was super too. Great location for walks, hotel is just at the bottom of the road for food and drinks and close to more amenities in Grantown and Aviemore.

Lovely house for a big family or friends
We loved our stay in the house, well-equipped and loved the table tennis table in the garage. Keep all the adults entertained, very quiet area with lovely restaurant and shop nearby within walking distance.
We booked Braeside to celebrate my mums 70th and it did not disappoint! The photos don't do it justice. The house was beautiful, easy to find and had everything we needed to have a fabulous weekend. Perfect base for visiting Aviemore, Grantown on Spey, Boat of Garten etc. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
Wonderful house and location. Definitely recommend 😊

Wonderful accommodation
This house is amazing! It is huge and we loved staying in it. We had young children with us and they loved all the space both inside and out. Igloo.scot are excellent to deal with too.
A hot tub would be nice.
Very impressive house. So much space, very comfortable, loved the different seating areas and we enjoyed our brunches at the big kitchen table. There were 9 of us celebrating an 80th birthday and the house was perfect for us. Very good value for money also!

Fantastic size and location
Room sizes and cleanliness was fantastic.
More basics in the kitchen, such as salt, pepper, oils. More big pots, as cooking for ten needs big pots.

Loved the house layout was great for family and friends to catch up. The beds were extremely comfortable and the showers were great. The garden being fenced was fantastic for the dog.
Nothing.
High quality, large property, plenty of space, everything was very clean and new. The house was warm and had everything we needed. Easy access to the Abernethy woods and surrounding areas for hiking and bird watching. Perfect place for a long weekend stay for larger families and groups of friends. Thank you!

Great location, lovely house for big family getaway
Very spacious house, big enough for my family, my brother and his family plus my parents. Stayed for a week and didn't feel like we were on top of each other.
Location is superb, plenty of things to do nearby to keep us all occupied. Great garden area we made the most of plus table tennis was a big hit
A few minor snags, such as a loose toilet seat but sent details and very quick response to say they'll take care of it. Service is excellent

Very spacious, immaculately presented and great location
This was the perfect home away from home for us. Kids were delighted to find the ping pong table when we got there which was a pleasant surprise. Really well equipped, very spacious, very clean on arrival, comfy beds, great location. Really was brilliant. The area is great too, Nethy Bridge a lovely village with great local walks and a nice cafe, close enough to Aviemore and other areas with good tourist attractions. Will be back

Excellent family home
The house is amazing and in such a beautiful location. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. The bedrooms are great with very comfy beds. The living areas were fab and lots of space to sit and chat with family. We played many family games in the large living room or the dining room table. We literally could not have asked for a better home.

Fantastic Week
This is a superb house for a large gathering - it's not until you get inside that you realise how much actual space there is! Loads of parking and the garden is massive with a nice seating area. Great layout downstairs with the open plan kitchen, dining, TV area and sunroom. Impossible not to recommend and in a fantastic area.
The oven struggled a bit - possibly the fan element wasn't working.

Braeside
Fabulous house for family get together. The table tennis was a huge hit with everyone. The house was extremely spacious and with 9 people and a dog there was always somewhere you could go for quiet time. The enclosed garden was fab for dog and smaller kids. Good location for all the lovely walks in the surrounding area. Lovely cafe at the bottom of the hill along with a well stocked corner shop. Highly recommended though.
The glass doors needed cleaned, they were covered in finger prints, otherwise spotless. Only change I would make would be to add a knife block with decent knives and some comfortable outdoor furniture on the patio outside the sun room.

The house was beautiful , very clean and with spacious bedrooms and plenty of room for everyone and the dogs. Nethy bridge is a lovely village with stunning woodland walks a couple of minutes walk from the house. A perfect location for exploring the cairngorms we had a fantastic time here. The only point which is extremely minor is the lack of chopping knives as we cooked in every night due to having young children with us. We would definately stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Great house, lovely location!
Great house, lots of space, house layout is brilliant. It was ideal for our 2 families with kids. The garden is lovely, and the house is in a great location to either go for a walk, cycle or get in the car and exploring local area/head in to Aviemore. Great butcher/corner shop just a short walk from the house too.
Would recommend, and stay again!
