Family Easter trip
3 generations across two families enjoyed 5 nights at Malcolms' wonderful property. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is massive, and was perfect for our group of 12, plus one dog. The downstairs single room was a godsend for one of the granparents who struggles with stairs. And the kids, and the competitive dads/grandads loved the table tennis and pool table. The location was perfect for us, just a short 3-4 min drive from the centre of Grantown on Spey, or a leisurely 25 min walk. And only 20-25 mins from Aviemore. The kitchen was well equipped to make full meals, which we did most evenings. And two large fridge-freezers were great for the excess amount of food and drink we brought with us. Malcolm was great with any comms we had with him. Can't fault him or his house at all. If we plan any future large group holidays in the area, this is the first place we'll try and book.

Fabulous stay in beautiful house and surroundings
Our party consisted of 3 families with children aged 5-8 years old. The house was spacious, comfortable and catered for us all very well. Plenty of garden for the kids and location was excellent. We enjoyed a morning and Cairngorms ski centre, an afternoon at the highland folk museum followed by a day at nearby Landmark. Aviemore is a short drive away and the scenery is stunning. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend and we will definitely be back!
