Lovely property equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is remote so be prepared for significant driving. Nice hotel with bar about a mile walk away

Fantastic place and so welcoming and cosy. We liked that it felt like a home quirky but not too fancy. Really enjoyed filling the bird feeder and seeing the woodpecker amongst all the other birds. Couldnt be better located for all the glen walks and nearby Clova Hotel. It was great having the log burner especially in February. A bit more kindling wRead moreould have been helpful as basket almost empty but otherwise absolutely will be returning. Excellent holiday. Thank you very much. Karen and Doug Hide

The cottage is beautiful, the views and location are breathtaking. My dog was able to run around the secured garden without any concerns. We loved using the fire pit and the wood stove. We were close to lots of places to hike and paddle. We loved our stay.

We enjoyed the cottage and the beautiful surroundings. We took several lovely walks and enjoyed the garden and the views. The garden was perfect for the dog; she could run around and play to her heart's content. We'd love to come back!

Another wonderful break at Marchburn. I the beautiful cottage is perfectly located-amenities are only a short drive but you feel you are away from everything. Such a peaceful place full of nature. Cant wait to return!

We had a lovely week in The Cairngorms in this very homely and cosy cottage. Very private & secure garden for the dog which was a bonus. Helpful owners when we encountered a minor problem with the heating. No hesitations recommending this lovely home from home to others. (The red squirrel visited most days to help himself to the bird feeder :)
