Guest testimonials for Hillview Cottage

“We loved the house and it’s location - half way between Aviemore and Kincraig; and conveniently backing on to the Speyside Way. The house has been lovingly modernised and upgraded throughout, but still retains its homely, cottage feel. The perfect space and accommodation for a family of six. We will absolutely be returning. Thank you for a great week 👍🏻”

“We loved our stay at this cottage. It was so beautiful with every detail thought of. We really enjoyed watching the birds out of the large dining room windows each morning. Perfectly clean and tidy and in such a gorgeous location.”

“This is a wonderful house in the highlands! A beautifully decorated cottage that gives access to Aviemore & surrounding areas. The view from the bathroom in breathtaking. Our favourite room to be in was definitely the kitchen, the glass windows out to the garden really capture the light & pretty landscaping, the kitchen is well equipped too so we didn't eat out once. There are walks just behind the cottage to take advantage of and there are longer trails accessible within a 10-20 min drive. Local town has everything you need including Tescos & hiking shops. Having a log fire in the evening really made it feel cosy. Having a bedroom on on the ground floor is a great addition for older relatives not wanting to use the stairs. I'm hoping to be back here next year.”

“The photos do not do this place justice! Every inch is so beautifully done up with lovely details in every room. The view of the garden sitting at the kitchen table is so serene and relaxing. We got to see red squirrels, lots of song birds, and even a pine marten! This is a wonderful place for a group or family to stay and a perfect location for driving around the Cairngorms. 100% recommend this lovely home. Note, there is a bit of noise from the road on one side of the house and the train on the other. We also found Apple Maps and Google Maps useless in finding many locations in the area including the house, so make sure to look at the “getting there” instructions.”

“We had a really good couple of weeks at the cottage. The location was perfect for walking, sailing, tennis and relaxing. It was a very comfortable house to be in. We think we may rebook for next year. Thank you.”

“We had the best time at the Alvie Cottage, beautiful scenery at the front with a gorgeous big garden at the back. Plenty of space for activities. The kitchen leading out to the outdoor space was also a massive positive for us. Will definitely seek out to stay here again when we travel up to Aviemore!

“Great place to stay. Lovely cosy cottage with good size rooms (including great storage in all rooms). Very well equipped kitchen. Kids loved the clever bunk beds and grown-ups loved the wood-burner stove! Thoroughly recommend this cottage!”

“Amazing cottage, beautifully decorated and felt like a home away from home. Christmas decorations were up which made it feel extra special. We all loved watching the bird life and red squirrel from the kitchen window each morning. Great location, just a short drive or 4 mile walk to Aviemore.”
