"We really relaxed and enjoyed our two weeks at Skoglendi."
We found the location ideal right next to a beautiful pine forest where we walked the dog daily. The village has a lovely little well stocked shop and two good eateries. Close to the amenities of Aviemore and attractions of Cairn Gorm yet easy to head north - we had lots of fun days out. The property was warm, clean & comfortable, we felt very much at home.

"Overall the house was clean, comfortable and warm and everything worked well."
Location as also very good - in the countryside but still close enough to Aviemore shops. Settees were not the most comfy, but provided plenty of space.

"What a fabulous property!"
We holiday around Scotland every year, and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed.
There is nothing negative I could say at all. It was superbly equipped, exceptionally clean and welcoming.

"Very fresh and clean."
Attractive, light and bright inside. Warmth was appreciated during a spell of cold north wind. Seating in living room rather unsupportive. Front door reluctant to shut properly without a heavy pull. We should have brought a supply of toilet rolls! A dust pan to go with the sweeping brush would be helpful, too. Overall the accommodation was great.

"The house itself is a very nice house."
Unfortunately it needs a major deep clean. We arrived to dirty floors, work tops covered in food crumbs, windows dirty, lots (lots) of pet hairs on rugs and floors and on bedding. Bedding left rolled up, not properly UK style made up beds. Dirty cutlery and crockery in cupboards and previous guests food detritus left in cupboards also. The sofa was also extremely uncomfortable and dirty. It could have been so pleasant but cleaning standards were not high. We will not be returning.
At Skoglendi we pride ourselves on providing a lovely comfortable house with a high standard of cleanliness. This guest raised a minor complaint (which we addressed immediately) and then repeatedly demanded compensation or else he would “leave a bad review“. On departure, this guest left our house in a filthy state and the dishwasher full of dirty dishes. The comments are completely untrue (as the last 2 years of glowing reviews demonstrate) and simply made out of spite.

"A lovely cottage, one of the best we’ve stayed in."
Very warm and comfortable and the owners were quick to sort out a very minor problem. Quiet location with good local amenities.Only criticism is the very slippery sofa which was not relaxing .

"Skoglendi is by far the best property we have ever stayed in."
It is much bigger than the photographs suggest. The internal design is contemporary, with some high end and stylish extras. The location is perfect, with walks, a cafe, restaurant and village shop from the door step. Go to Nethy House for breakfast - delicious ! We really didn’t want to leave Skoglendi, but will definitely be returning. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

"The holiday was a very pleasant experience."
The distance to the village was exactly as described and the area is a good base for accessability to other locations. The villa is modern, clean and well equipped, the chairs in the kitchen were rather uncomfotable as were the sofas however this did not spoil the holiday and we would recommend this particular villa and area.

"Excellent accommodation."
Spacious, comfortable and clean. Good amenities and kitchen (dishwasher/washing machine/microwave and oven all easy to use). Great location, both for local walks but also to explore further afield. Underfloor heating kept the property snug despite -7C temperatures outside. Secure garden perfect for the dog. EV Charging point available (7kW) and worked without difficulty. I do suggest a bigger snow shovel in winter though!

The rooms are a nice size and cosy.
It is well equipped, everything worked and it was spotless. The handbook was clear and helpful.
It is located in a quiet spot in a lovely village with an amazingly well stocked village shop and a good restaurant within easy walking distance.
We made good use of the local and surrounding trails both on foot and bike.
We were very impressed to find a charging point for an electric car and the garden shed was a good space for locking bicycles.
Everything was thoughtfully done and equipped.
Spent a very pleasant and restful week. We would definitely recommend Skoglendi and happily return again.

"The bungalow is superior in most ways ."
The cleanliness was excellent and the equipment was good. However the seating was uncomfortable to say the least. Numb bums all round!! Sliding of the surface was not a good sign. The area is brilliant and the exploring was really good. A lightweight duvet would have been appreciated as the home was very warm at night.
