We had a fabulous few days in the apartment , everything was perfect . Thank you Briony , we look forward to staying with y again !!

Immaculately presented accommodation in a stunning and peaceful location. Cottage had all the amenities which you need for a comfortable stay and the little touches like fresh eggs and bathrobes made for a warm welcome. Hosts were friendly, responsive to messages and made us feel welcome. Would love to visit again.

Great base for a week in the Cairngorms, apartment was clean and very cosy.
Briony and Martin very friendly ,would happily stay here again

The cottage was very cute and clean and had a nice garden and view. The only issue I had was that I am a large person and could barely squeeze into the shower. I had to soap up outside the shower then get in as I couldn’t move my arms around me to scrub while in the shower. Otherwise the place was great!

We loved staying at Briony’s cosy cottage. So comfortable and private and all the amenities you could wish for including a washer/dryer. Briony and Martin were very friendly hosts and we enjoyed the eggs layed by their chickens. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing, quiet and great to recharge the batteries 😀 - Quiet and tranquil location benefitting from the occasional sound of the nearby steam railway 😞 - None

Exceptional 😀 - Lovely little cottage, great location for exploring the area. Clean and host was very welcoming and friendly. 😞 - Would have liked a door to close off the bedroom as we had dogs with us and would have liked to keep them out the bedroom

Very Good 😀 - Loved the cottage. Very well equipped. Beautiful views from verandah and lovely walks on the doorstep. Immaculately clean. The weather was amazing! Eggs left for us, which was a lovely touch. The owners are so lovely. 😞 - Don't usually like being negative, but the wooden bed frame was quite high up. Was bruised and sore from trying to get out of bed 😪 Shower cubicle was quite small, was tricky trying to wash without banging elbows off the cubicle. Traffic noise quite loud but the property is just off the main road to Aviemore. Quieter at night. Would've let the owners know in person but had to rush home on day of departure.

Very good 😀 - The privacy of the cottage, cosyness and location. Birds in the garden were great and little seating area on the porch. 😞 - None

Great stay, accommodative and responsive host. Recommended!

The cottage was in a lovely peaceful spot with an ideal enclosure for our dog. We particularly loved watching all the birds on the bird feeder including a spotted woodpecker and other bird we don’t usually see in the town. We enjoyed lovely walks and even enjoyed the sunset on the hill one evening. Thanks Briony for the beautiful homegrown strawberries as well. They were delicious.

Great place to stay in a wonderful location

Beautiful Boat of Garten

Had a great few nights in the cabin with our dog. Very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay, would recommend highly!

Great cottage. Lovely area, quite central for touring the Cairngorm park. Brilliant enclosed garden for dogs too.

We had a lovely stay in Boat of Garten for a few days. Briony's place had everything we needed and was in a great spot to explore. Thanks for an amazing stay!

The cottage is excellent, clean and comfortable. All the facilities you would need and neat little veranda with nice views to woodlands. Easy 1 mile woodland into Boat of Garten which has a very good restaurant (Andersons). We were lucky and the weather was superb - this part of Scotland is beautiful. Good choice of walking and golfing. Martin was very responsive and helpful. Thoroughly recommend this stay.

A perfect base for a week exploring the Cairngorms, 15 mins drive to Aviemore and 20 mins easy walk to the pub. The cottage is super cosy, really clean with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Even dressing gowns were provided. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed garden and was made to feel very welcome. We loved sitting on the porch in the sunshine at the end of a days walking enjoyjng the lovely views.

Wonderful country cottage in the beautiful surroundings of Speyside. The cottage is superbly equipped and easily accessible. Our hosts were friendly and responsive, and everything went smoothly. The garden is delightful, and the sound of the dawn chorus was amazing. We had a restful and relaxing stay, and would recommend both the location and our hosts! 5 stars!

We had lovely time at Sycamore Cottage and we will definitely be back if we are in the area 😀

Comfortable, snug cottage in a fantastic location 😀 - Every time I needed something, it was there! Kitchen utensils, glasses, dog stuff, bird books, maps - the cottage was perfect 😞 - N/a

We loved staying at Sycamore cottage. The views from the windows are amazing and in a great location for exploring the Cairngorms further. The cottage was clean and well equipped with everything we needed.
Briony was a great host and gave clear instructions and felt right on hand (even though we didn’t need anything).
We would definitely stay again!

Great stay
Very comfortable and well kept cottage

Loved this cottage, would definitely return 😀 - Fantastic location , beautiful views, cosy and comfy. Great kitchen, with everything needed. Lovely walk to the village 😞 - None

Ideal accommodation. Lovely hosts. Really comfortable and well-equipped. Thank you.

Such a lovely cottage. It was clean and had everything I needed. The wood stove was so nice at night.

Briony & Matrin's location instructions were very clear and they helped answer my questions on using public transport.

Surrounded by beautiful mountains and can see a beautiful starry night sky. It's a great place to relax and enjoy nature. I had a wonderful time. Thank you.

Excellent quiet get away 😀 - Excellent location,well equipped cosy little cottage 😞 - None

Really happy I choose this place over others to be honest, even though we were out most of the time it was lovely to come back to and such a perfect size for couples

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is within east reach of Avimore and Grantown so there’s plenty to do without having to travel very far. It’s also super well equipped and warm - perfect for a relaxing in after a day spent hill walking.
Briony and Martin also recommended the local village Ceilidh for Hogmanay - it was so much fun!

Another excellent stay at sycamore cottage
Can’t praise this place enough

Beautiful warm, cozy cottage in a great location. Hosts were super helpful and friendly. The cottage had everything we needed and we felt completely at home. It was spotlessly clean and I would highly recommend.

Highly recommend

A lovely spot, with great walks. Briony and Martin were extremely helpful and amicable. Would recommend if you want a calm and peaceful stay close to Inverness and the Cairngorms.

We had a great stay! ❤️

Fantastic stay at sycamore cottage. Perfect little getaway for 2 if you’re looking for somewhere relaxing to unwind. Log burning fire was a favourite making for very cosy evenings. Briony and Martin were very friendly and happy to answer any questions, would recommend!

Such lovely hosts who gave us a warm welcome when we arrived, which we really appreciated. The cottage is lovely and perfect for a few days away in Aviemore. The bed is also extremely comfy! Thank you both, will definitely be back in the future.

Perfectly located and very cosy.

Beautiful little cottage in a stunning part of the world. Lot's of stunning walks from 10-25 minute drive away. Nice to come back to a wood burning stove and really nice, well equipped kitchen. Also slept like a log. Bed 10/10.
Had a warm welcome from Briony on arrival. Would love to return.

We had a truly enchanting stay at Briony's B&B. The attention to detail throughout the entire place was impeccable, and we thoroughly enjoyed preparing meals in the well-appointed kitchen while spending our evenings cozily nestled in front of the fireplace. I recommend this charming B&B and look forward to returning in the future🥰

Beautiful cottage in a great location in Boat of Garten. Ideal for exploring the Cairngorms Very comfortable with all mod cons. Briony was a great host, very welcoming.

Superb little haven - if you are thinking of booking it, just do it!
Fabulous walks without having to get in the car. Loads of things to do locally. Superb wildlife to be spotted in the area. And absolutely loved the birds at the bird table 😊

Lovely cottage with everything you need for cooking after a day of exploring! Very comfortable and loved the bird feeder!
