• "A lovely quiet site within easy distance of Grantown and amenities."

• "Absolutely loved the cottage, so remote and private, set in a vast estate of ancient forest, yet 5 minutes by car to charming Grantown-on-Spey."

  Very-well equipped, a real home from home, spacious, comfortable and well-heated. A delight to pull up the blinds to that glorious view each morning, especially when spying a red squirrel running across the lawn, red woodpeckers and coal tits on the bird feeders, or tiny deer grazing by the castle! The Highlands can’t be any more beautiful, and we were so lucky to have wonderful autumnal weather. Highly recommend!

• "A really lovely cottage: spacious, well-equipped, warm and extremely comfortable."

  The location is also fantastic - very quiet and (quite literally) off the beaten track! Grantown-on-Spey accessible on foot (about 1.5 miles) with plenty of facilities, and loads to do in the surrounding area: mountains, rivers, beaches... The only downside is the access track which is a bit rough and muddy in places - but not too big an issue if you take it slow!

• "It's been 2 weeks since we've come back from the Scottish highlands, after staying at The Old Laundry."

  What a fabulous stay we had! An amazing cottage set in a very remote forest. You wake up with the sounds of sheep and birds in the garden, with what I believe, surrounded by ancient forests of Milton woods, Drumindanan woods. (We did manage to spot some deers in the forests too) The cottage is a wonderful place to explore the Cairngorms from. It has eveything for a holiday cottage, it is very comfortable, clean and spacious, with beautiful decor and windows, for a very smooth cosy stay, and the log burning fire is wonderful. The rooms and bathrooms were immaculately clean, with lovely touches throughout, and the cottage is big enough for a group of 5-6. The owners have really thought about everyhting. We got lost on the way, however the hosts are very attentive, and communication is excellent. The only thing is the long road to the cottage could be improved as others have mentioned, with maybe more signposts. I would definitely recommend The Old Laundry - If you are looking to get away from it all and rejuvinate in beautiful ancient Scottish woodlands, but with the reassurance that everyhting is at your doorstep when needed (Grantown on Spey is 1 1/2 miles away with fantastic shops)- then this is the place. We are truly missing the beautiful location and cottage. I wish we could have stayed longer in Cairngorms. This is an ideal location to explore from.

• "A beautiful and very comfortable place to stay."

  The house has everything, very well equiped. Wildlife around the house - deer, red squirrel, birds - and very quiet and peaceful. Many things to do and see in the area.

• "Second time for us at this secluded cottage."

  We love the remoteness but at the same time you have all the amenities and attractions you would want minutes away. Loads of wildlife all around the cottage and lovely walks in the estate grounds right from the front door. The cottage has everything you could need for the week and very comfortable.

• "This is our second stay at the Old Laundry, having first visited last October."

  We thought that it would be good to see it in Spring, and were not disappointed. The cottage is comfortable and easy to live in, and the wildlife in the immediate vicinity is an absolute delight. There are also good bicycle rides to be had along both forest and paved roads. I hope that one day we will return.

  The Access "road" has some very good pot holes that the estate owners need to repair as you have to zigzag around them .

• "We had a brilliant stay at the Old Laundry."

  It's a lovely property in a beautiful secluded location, although close enough to shops etc if you need them. We found the accommodation extremely cosy, with the lounge and log burner in the middle so the warmth spread throughout. The views from the property are excellent, and it was lovely having no neighbours so we felt miles from real life, even though we weren't really. We ran and cycled in the woods from the front door, and did some great walks and cycle rides in the local area, along the Spey and in the forest next to Grantown. The kitchen was very well equipped, everything was really well maintained, and the bed was very comfortable. We hope to come back soon!

  Cottage was brilliant for wildlife watching (keep the feeders topped up and a wide variety of birds arrive, together with red squirrels and deer. Also ideal for 'dark skies' watching.

  The location and cottage were perfect and a fantastic place to spend time away from ‘normal’ life. Once there it was only us and the birds and sheep. At night, we were surrounded by starry skies. We loved every minute of our stay and would go back in a heartbeat!

  An amazing property in the forest, no traffic, only quietness and some deer in the morning. We had snow during our stay and it was wonderful, to come back in the afternoon in a comfortable, warm and cosy home. The house was immaculate and very clean. We would definitly stay again. Many thanks to the owners.

• "We had a really good time whilst on our holiday in Scotland."

  The house was beautiful and well equipped. Everything you would need for a family get away. There was more than enough to do in the house along with electronics that were a little out of date but still better than nothing. The house was very clean and much better than our last stay in Scotland. The red squirrels were a delight to see as were the deer, wood peckers and coal finches. It was also very safe for the children to play outside without supervision. There was nowhere they could go to get into any trouble. The cows were hilarious especially when they arrived in the garden. The calf decided to jump the fence and so mummy had to follow which brought the herd. The kids thought this was wonderful. The owner was very attentive. If we needed anything he replied quickly to our messages and got someone to sort the problem. All in all I think the house was well worth the money and I would stay again. Many thanks. As a side, the DVD player could do with a control as there is no way to navigate options without it. Also the shower in the en-suite needs a curtain or glass screen so it doesn’t get water all over the floor.
