"This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage - which speaks for itself."
Hopefully we will be back again.
-
"A lovely cottage- warm, well equipped, really nice rooms."
Owners were very welcoming. Cottage is right next to the Speyside Way which was perfect for all the local walks. We really enjoyed our stay there.
-
"Ulla Dhu is a cosy and very comfortable cottage close to Nethy Bridge."
The host was kind enough to provide welcome gifts and helped with suggestions of things to do tailored to our interests. The cottage is well maintained and decorated to a high standard. The kitchen is very well equipped as well as having fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Excellent walk in shower in downstairs toilet and bath, also with a shower facility, in upstairs bathroom. Sitting room is very comfortable and family friendly books, board games and DVDs are also available. Access to the Speyside Way from the bottom of the garden means a easy walk to Nethy Bridge! Regular bus service also available from end of farm drive. It was great to be able to leave the car behind. I would highly recommend this cottage and hope to return very soon.

"It is a lovely cottage which has been done to a high standard, the kitchen is well equipped and was designed well."
The little extras were very thoughtful and we found Susan extremely helpful. The location of the cottage is great as you had a handy walk to the village without walking on the road, central to activities to the north and south of the Cairngorms. Being on a farm it was great to have cows in the field next door and be able to go and say hello to.

"This beautiful house is full of luxury items."
The kitchen had everything and more. The shower was very nice all the shampoo and toilet items was supplied. Lovely sitting room. The cottage is outside Nethybridge but just what we needed with hubby recovering from a stroke Would highly recommend the lovely home.

"We had such a great stay at Ulla Dhu."
The cottage is really homely and clean and is really well kitted out. Our kids really enjoyed all the board games on offer too! We loved being so close to Nethy Bridge and the Speyside way is literally at the bottom of the garden. We really enjoyed ourselves and have already rebooked to go back next year. Many thanks!

"Lovely cottage in peacefully location, only negative points were the single beds were very hard and the back garden was only mowed on the last full day we were there so grass was very long and the kitchen front window when opened was really difficult to close."
All in all a lovely place to stay.
-

"The property was lovely, very comfortable, beds were so comfy and the bedding divine."
Such a modern heating device and easy to use. Large towels, which are not always available in other places. Brilliant stay
-
"Not only was the cottage comfortable and cosy, we have never stayed in such a well-equipped self-catering property!"
Usually there's no tin opener, tongs, oven gloves etc but there was everything you could imagine! Even scales and a pastry brush! Loved it! The coffee machine was loved by us too. We arrived to a lovely welcome of treats left out for us. The kids were delighted! Everything was spotless and recently decorated to a high standard. The 4 cosy blankets in the living room were a thoughtful addition aswell as the footstool full of books and dvds, boardgames and wordsearch and colouring book. It was great that we could sign into our own Netflix etc. I used the washing machine a few times and was happy to discover a decent iron and ironing board which I rarely find in self catering places. The drying rack was a good one too. Even the towels were perfect. Huge and 2 each. Lovely big shower in downstairs showerroom and big bath in bathroom upstairs. The toiletries dispensers on the walls were brilliant! I want them at home! Susan, the owner could not have been more helpful. She popped round one day to give us some tennis racquets and balls for in the garden. The kids were loving playing with those aswell as the swingball, velcro bats and the quoits set. So friendly and welcoming. The perfect host! We have already recommended the cottage to lots of friends and will not hesitate to return.

"The cottage was very comfortable, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into its renovation and decoration."
It had all the facilities we could want, including a well-equipped kitchen, good wi-fi and Sky TV. We really appreciated the welcome gifts from our hosts too! It is very well placed for exploring the whole Cairngorm area and looking for wildlife. We enjoyed discovering the many local walking trails - the Speyside Way is literally at the end of the garden. It was perfect for a peaceful but luxurious holiday.
-
"I would highly recommend Ulla Dhu, the cottage was spotlessly clean well decorated and very well equipped."
Although the cottage is on a farm it was wonderfully peaceful, just bird song! Perfectly situated for exploring the local area and all of the Cairngorms.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ay Ulla Dhu, it was a haven of welcome and peacefulness, allowing us time to just enjoy and relax in the wonderful atmosphere."
What was ever so special was being invited to watch the round up of all the sheep on the Tuesday
-
"Fantastic accommodation, designer and comfortable."
Lovely and warm. Spacious kitchen and well equipped. Perfect place to relax after a day of exploration.
-
"We were absolutely delighted with Ulla Dhu cottage."
It has been very tastefully decorated and had everything we needed (and more) for a comfortable stay. Our 4 & 5 year old daughters loved all the games that were in the house - it really was a home away from home and the perfect retreat in the beautiful Nethy Bridge.
-
"Superb personable hosts who couldn't do enough to make our stay as pleasurable as possible!"
Many little considerate touches that make all the difference. Ideal location for balance of local and access to wider offering of Cairngorms/Aviemore area. A big thank you, yet again!
