The cottage was in a great location and, having two dogs with us, we really appreciated the dog proof garden. Having the Wandering Bear cafe so close was also a bonus.

A clean comfortable cottage with a secure garden for the dogs and great walks around the loch. If you love birds buy some seed and watch in comfort from the kitchen diner as many species come to the bird table.

Lovely cosy cottage in quiet location. Ideal for week away with dogs and trips to the Angus glens, yet not far from civilisation should the weather turn inclement. Enjoyed watching the birds in the garden whilst eating breakfast and cooking dinner.

We felt at home in the cottage as soon as we walked through the door. Comfy sofa and beds. Piping hot, powerful showers. Every utensil you could need and little things you may have forgotten e.g. umbrella. It was a pleasure to come back "home" after each day's adventure.

What a wonderful, will equipped and clean cottage this is. We had a wonderful week stay with our 3 beagles. A perfect base for the Cairgorms with natural beauty on your doorstep with Lintrathen Loch just a 5 minute steady walk away.
