A lovely, welcoming and comfortable holiday cottage in a fabulous location. The Groose Hoose is fitted out to a high quality and is very well-equipped. The hot tub was brilliant and it's views are stunning. The on-line guide was extremely helpful and full of useful tips. Our hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout. We would absolutely stay again.

Tips for other travellers

The kitchen is really well-equipped so you'll have everything you need to be able to cook proper meals. The honesty shop is a brilliant addition, with lots of useful essentials in case you have forgotten anything crucial. We recommend trying the Paul Newman ready meals from the honesty shop freezer if you get tired of cooking. They are delicious. A significant cut above your average ready meal. Pack your walking boots! We walked every day and had a great time. The climb up Mount Blair is well worth doing (despite the horizontal hail at the top), Glen Clova is stunning and there are loads of great walks just off the road between the cottage and Braemar. Gin tasting at the Persie Distillery is a lovely, fun thing to do. The gins are excellent and you can feel good as you sip since the distillery raises funds for animal charities.

Very friendly hosts - on hand if you need them but leave you to the peace and quiet of such lovely accommodation otherwise. This was our third stay at Dalnoid and it certainly won't be the last = it's somewhere we will always re-visit. Both the Scots Pine and Silver Birch Treehouses are fantastic but if I were to pick a favourite it would be Silver Birch because of the situation of the hot-tub on the patio. (could maybe do with having some lights as you go through the hedge to the hot-tub though.

Great place to relax. Spectaular scenery and lovely night skies (when it isn't cloudy) Drives to Glen Shee and Braemar - then onto a walk around Balmoral Castle. Country road driving but not a lot of traffic. Pitlochry is a nice run out too! Shopping at House of Bruar is lovely at this time of the year because it's lovely and Christmassy!

Owner Response

Thanks for the lovely review. We are planning for next year to put proper lighting in and a new staircase down to the hot tub. Hopefully when we next see you this will all be done! Figners crossed!

Loved our stay. The cottage is perfect and fully stocked with everything required. Incredible to find somewhere with a secure garden for the dogs. Definitely be back.

We visited the Glenshee tea room and farmer shop and Taste of China in Blairgowrie - both great.
