Glencoldon is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect holiday. It was clean, warm and very comfortable. The rooms were very tastefully decorated too. The garden and access to the woods was a real bonus especially for nature enthusiasts like us. We will definitely be back!

Walking through the woods behind the cottage into the village is very beautiful. The bike park at the end of the woods looks great fun if you are a keen biker. The gallery in the village is a great place for unique gifts and artwork. The Boat Hotel in the village is a good place for a meal, lovely relaxed setting with good food. Abernethy Nature Reserve and Rothiemurchus Estate are brilliant places to see wildlife especially crested tits, crossbills and red squirrels. The Strathspey Badger Hide is an excellent place to see badgers. It is run by volunteers who are very passionate about their local area. It’s a fantastic way to spend an evening.

Wow, thanks so much for your detailed review!! Pleased you found an evening in the Badger Hide near the village a rewarding experience. There is so much community volunteering going on in the village, especially around the nature, that we should highlight that more (note taken!). And you found the new cycle "pump track" - yes, an amazing new facility for the village! Hope we will welcome you back again!

It was everything we could have hoped for. Great location for hiking, walk to dining, and relaxing at the cottage enjoying its great views. Though we were two, 6 could very comfortably enjoy it here. Jim & Becky

Thank you very much for your review. You came a long way to discover Scotland and the Cairngorm area, so brilliant you found the cottage and local area to your liking. Thanks too for mentioning that 6 can stay without feeling cramped since "cottage" would suggest is small. We've done our best to open up the living space - spacious, but still very cosy we hope! All the best!

A lovely, lovely exclusive house, set in the beautiful Boat of Garten, refurbished to a high standard. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a deer grazing in front of the garage. Wildlife and nature is second to none - just amazing. Views are stunning, and on clear days, you can see the tops of some mountains. Lovely with all the eco stuff, they’re trying to make a good cause for keeping the nature at is best, and with great success. Everybody in the village is so friendly, and the small roads around is just perfect. Would love to book this again without hesitation

Enjoy your stay, whether for walking, cycling, touring, motor biking or just driving - there’s plenty to explore, even on a rainy day

Would welcome you to stay again without hesitation of course! Yes, the wild garden's increasing wildness means we see more and more different species visiting or living in the garden. Pine Marten for the first time this year! All the best, until perhaps the next time!
