Enjoyed a couple of days playing golf at Boat of Garten and Kingussie - the cottage was great, close to the golf, quiet and peaceful to come back to and enjoy my short trip.

Fabulous apartment! 😀 - Briony was welcoming and helpful, and has created a perfect apartment for guests. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay. A great location, with forests and lochs to explore,and within easy distance of Aviemore and the supermarkets for provisions. 😞 - One negative would be the sloping ceiling on one side of the bed, but as we're both short it didn't cause an issue for us.

Lovely place, very clean, great location with easy access to Boat of Garten. Exceptionally comfy bed, great kitchen facilities, everything we needed. We love the area

We were warmly welcomed and ourstay at the Appartement was fantastisch.We didn't lack anything and felt right at home from the very first moment. Everything is furnished with great attention to detail, and even the little things were thought of—like plenty of hooks, a shoe tray for dirty shoes, tons of hiking maps, and even a hot water bottle.

Great hosts and made me very welcome. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Perfect getaway for a few days, outside space wonderful for dog owners and relaxing. Short walk to village steam railway and restaurant and shop.Beautiful woodland walks nearby

We had a lovely stay at Briony and Martin’s apartment. The place was very clean, comfortable and peaceful — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the area.Briony and Martin were wonderful hosts. They were friendly, welcoming and very helpful, and all the check-in instructions and information provided were extremely clear and easy to follow.We really enjoyed the quiet surroundings and felt very comfortable throughout our stay. Thank you, Briony and Martin, for your warm hospitality. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it! 😊

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Cottage ist traumhaft schön, sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

It was an excellent location and would definitely stay again!

Logement très confort et très lumineux. Très bon emplacement pour visiter le Cairn Gorm. Un peu de bruit du fait de la route passante.

😀 - Comfortabele cottage. Erg compleet. Heel geschikt voor vakantie met de hond.

We had an amazing few days, the place was great and exactly what we needed!

Beautiful place in a lovely area, Briony gave great local recommendations for walks / pubs etc, and there was lots to do nearby. Gorgeous view from the living room!

Excellent séjour 😀 - Tout est parfait. La nageoire à oiseau. Dans le jardin attire de nombreuses espèces, même un pic épeiche! 😞 - Rien

We had a lovely stay,beautiful scenery and very peaceful.

Lovely apartment, great base for our golfing trips. 😀 - Clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful hosts, who supplied us with delicious home grown strawberries on our arrival. 😊 😞 - Can’t think of anything.

😀 - Perfect hosts, great location

Delightful, well equipped apartment in the countryside 😀 - On main road not far out from Boat Of Garten 😞 - Not well sign posted; hard to find even with instructions

Very quaint cottage, Lovely garden surrounded by wildlife. Really relaxing stay.

Hele fijne en verzorgde woning. Heerlijke locatie als startpunt voor allerlei uitstapjes, wandelingen en voor eventuele vliegvissers. Vriendelijke host en we voelden ons heel welkom.

We had lovely stay at Briony's place with our dog. This cottage was very dog friendly. It has an enclosed garden so I had no worries about letting the dog out. Briony had even thought of all the little things - dog treats, bowls brush, toys, and towel! We enjoyed some drinks on the outdoor area and enjoyed the scenery. From the cottage theres a short 20 min walk to Boat of Garten with lots of wildlife to see. The cottage itself is quaint and has everything you need. Briony was very good at communicating and even met us when we arrived. Lovely welcome to such a lovely stay. Would definitely return!

If you visit the Cairngorms, the Sycamore cottage is an excellent base for walks and sightseeing (Loch Garten, Rothiemurchus, Inverness-coast). The cottage is a nice and neat place to return to in de afternoon. The fenced garden is great for dogs to play around. The tasteful decoration inside and the kitchen are great. The friendly owners even helped us with charging our EV on site. One gets really value for money staying here.

Ideal for cyclists and walkers, a comfortable and peaceful place with lovely views.

I stayed 3 nights at Sycamore Cottage and what a perfect spot for exploring the surrounding area and relaxing both at the start and the end of the day. It was a delight to sit out on the porch early morning with coffee and the sound of bird song after a great night's sleep in a comfy bed.The cottage has everything you need for a break away from home, and I felt right at home in no time. Briony clearly cares about getting it right for her guests,and this is reflected in the added touches. The cottage is spotless and cozy and Briony is friendly and approachable ,with Dexter the dog being an added delight!I recommend staying at Sycamore Cottage in a heartbeat!

A fantastic well appointed cottage . Contained everything you needed and more.Birds were a delight.

We had a wonderful three-night stay in this spacious, peaceful and very comfortable apartment. The kitchen area was excellent, and we particularly enjoyed the private veranda, which was a lovely place to relax after a day exploring the Cairngorms.The upstairs lounge was cosy and offered beautiful views, making it the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a relaxing evening. The apartment was very well equipped and had everything we needed, and the bed was extremely comfortable.The location was ideal for exploring the area. We enjoyed a lovely meal at Anderson’s Restaurant in Boat of Garten and played 18 holes at the friendly Carrbridge Golf Club, which has wonderful views towards the Cairngorms.For future guests, please note that the bedroom is upstairs while the bathroom is downstairs. This wasn’t a problem for us, and the stair lighting was excellent, but it may be useful information for anyone with mobility concerns.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

We had a lovely stay, thank you.

A great location to explore the cairngorms from. 😀 - Great location and very well appointed.

This is a lovely little home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the little covered outside space watching the numerous birds on the feeders. The nearby river Spey and the Strathspey steam railway were welcome bonuses, with a great walk into Boat of Garten. Would recommend.

Het huisje is heel netjes verzorgd. De keuken is beneden en van alle gemakken voorzien. Ook de badkamer is daar. De zitkamer met TV is boven evenals de slaapkamer. De treden van de trap kun je ‘‘s nachts verlichten. Aan alles is dus gedacht. Het huisje bleek een goede uitvalsbasis voor een prachtige wandeling in de Cairngorm Mountains, Het basisstation van het bergtreintje ligt op ongeveer 30 autominuten van het huisje.Briony kwam ons vriendelijk welkom heten en had allerlei tips voor de omgeving.Tip voor NL-se gasten. Wij hadden een probleempje met onze ANWB-reisstekker. Die maakt niet altijd goed contact met dit type wandcontactdozen. Dit ligt aan de stekker, want ook in de VS / New York was dit een probleem.

Süßes Cottage im Cairngorm Nationalpark 😀 - Ein ganz süßes Cottage auf einem Privatgrundstück. Ganz ruhig gelegen mit eingezäuntem Grundstück. Hinter dem Haus konnte man direkt spazieren gehen. Wir wurden persönlich empfangen.

The place was very cute and overall very nicely maintained! The location is a bit further from some of the things we were hoping to do and restaurants / shops etc. but that was based on locations available when we booked and nothing Briony did. I wouldn’t have minded a few more recommendations for things in the area but they did have some local guide books to look through. The place was cute and felt comfortable and safe. It can be a bit tricky to find so make sure to read instructions carefully. It would have been nice if there was some shampoo or toiletries in the bathroom or notice that there isn’t any so we could have prepared better, but overall a very nice experience.

Briony nous a très bien accueilli, le logement est impeccable, propre et confortable, avec tous les équipements nécessaires

Honestly had such an amazing stay here whilst I hiked surrounding mountains! The cottage itself was so cute. I loved the wood fire stove. Not only that but you could really tell Briony had thought of every single little little thing guests might need. Thing like the dual wireless charging dock and the speaker were a nice touch! Kitchen and living room is really cool and has natural looking wooden beams. Very cosy vibes! Bed was incredibly comfy. There’s a cute little garden (you can leave the gate open to allow brionys dog in for some cuddles like I did not keep it closed, whichever you prefer). Briony was super friendly and even helped me out when I thought I’d locked myself out. 10/10, would stay again/recommend in a heartbeat 🙂

Amazing area with lots of peaceful walks right from the doorsteps. Accommodation had everything we needed. The only thing that would make it better is probably the shower which is a bit of a trickle. Other than that we had amazing stay with some incredible walks, thank you!

Great cottage which had everything we needed. The location was great for walks and close to nearby towns. Favourite part was watching the birds at the bird feeder in the garden!

Really lovely stay, loved the birdfeeders and waking up to birsong, the fresh eggs, the cozy wood stove and a really lovely space.

The cottage is lovely and well-equipped with everything you might need, including a well-stocked kitchen. It is also located in a beautiful area, making it an ideal base for exploring the surroundings.

A big thank you for a lovely stay.The cottage has everything you need. Briony was really helpful.This area is perfect for a holiday. We visited the cairngorms, loch Garten and Aviemore and all great. 😊

😀 - only a 10ish min drive to Aviemore so perfect location, very cost cottage! 😞 - the mattress was quite hard but thats just preference!

We had such a lovely time and our hosts were so friendly and accommodating throughout our trip. The apartment was so tidy and easy to relax into, and we really appreciated having all the kitchen implements we could possibly need. I would recommend to my own friends and family for sure!

A perfect getaway overlooking the mountains and winding rivers. This charming little cottage is cozy yet thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.
