• "I’m general it was a superb place to stay, we had a fantastic holiday."

  Loved the cottage, very spacious and at home feel. Everything was great. Only point to add would be that the drive leading to to the property could Do with widening, don’t get me wrong I have an BMW x5 but it was tight. But don’t let this put you off. If I ever travel to Scotland again I would see if fronthill was available again. Great location, very quiet and cosy.

  Large spacious property,it was nice having the wood burner which we used on most evenings. The road up is a narrow bumpy path but had no problems.

• "Our stay at Fronthill was lovely, the property had incredible views, very peaceful and was based in a perfect location for access to the Cairngorms and the west coast."

  The village was delightful and the locals couldn’t have been more friendly. The only slight negative was that the property was not throughly clean. The beds were clean and whole property was tidy, however bedheads were dusty, windows were not clean and tufts of hair were found ion the carpet in two of the three bedrooms. This did not hinder our stay or desire to return.

  Thank you for your feed back. I am very sorry about that regarding the changeover clean. i'll make some investigations and come back to you. Property Owner

• "Great house and gardens."

  Superb views, and walking routes on doorstep. Farm road up to property was the only negative. Go very slow and aim a wheel for big stones. This was a minor irritation, superb holiday home.

  Yes good advice on the road. Its an old drovers track just take care if the car is loaded down on arrival in summer as the grass can sometimes sometimes any stones. Property Owner

• "Great place for a week in the Cairngorms."

  the views from the property are outstanding, we didn't find the road that difficult you just need to take it slow. Would recommend and hope to stay again one day

  Thanks Jason. Yes the road has always been a challenge as its the farmers and we have little say in how its maintained. It also suffers from the tough weather climate. But as you say as long as you take it slow its usually ok Property Owner

• "We've stayed at Fronthill a few times now, however the property has become a bit tired."

  The bed needs replacing, mattress very soft and you sink into the centre. New placemats in kitchen needed as ones there very dated. The kitchen cupboard was dirty, had to give a wipe over and the kitchen door mat was missing in which we went and purchased our own otherwise you end up with a dirty kitchen floor. The sofas could also do with some cushions and the shower and screen needs updating. It's a shame as it's such a lovely property in a very nice location, it's just starting to look tired now, needs a bit of tlc.

  Thank you for your helpful feedback and we have taken on board your comments and we are looking to make a number of changes and updates to give the house a touch of TLC. Due to covid we have had to put certain household things in storage, such as cushions but we will review this next time we are up. We do appreciate all the feedback our guests have provided us with. We hope you will visit again! Property Owner

• "We had a very enjoyable holiday."

  The views were outstanding, plenty of walks close by and always a pleasure to come back to base. However, we did hold our breath every time we had to negotiate the track down to the main road. Definitely not very car friendly.

• "Our family has had the privilege of experiencing Fronthill 6 times now."

  We just don't see the point in going anywhere else anymore! It's got everything we needed for a restful, energising, expansive, easy going, live like a local holiday. Cottage feels like an exclusive castle on the inside. The inside is so connected to the outside via massive, crystal clear windows that take in the breathtaking expanse of the Cairngorms. The view you could walk miles, days even, to just sit and experience the awe of that. It is priceless considering the comfort. The most expensive of hotels could never match the quality of Fronthill. My work has ment a few stop over nights during lock down and Fronthill is the cleanest, safest, considerate covid safe accommodation we've stayed in yet. I'll never be tired of this place, it's fresh and new every time. Kids, dog, granny, grumpy auntie, moody teenager, we were a family equally keen to come back when ever we can. Ps, there's lots to do in the area but we preferred to live from the doorstep. Cheeper too. Thanks so much Fronthill, you've healed us again.

• "House sits on its own higher up and has great views of the mountains all around."

  The large lounge windows mean that you always have these views and you can easily access paths onto the moor road behind the house. Road up a bit rough and not good for cars that are low to the ground. Would recommend as you have a feeling of isolation yet are in Newtonmore.

  Views are stunning and cottage is very well equipped. If you like cooking, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils- this is normally a rarity in a holiday let. Walks from door step are awesome, can go for miles. Can't fault this place, could happily live there!! We will come back again. Thanks for a fab stay.

• "Just returned from a lovely week at an amazing property, with stunning views, especially when it snowed."

  Well equipped kitchen. Photos do not actually do property any justice, it is a lot bigger than the photos suggest. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely return. Narrow dirt track road to property did not cause us any bother even in the snow, despite us driving in a large van. Neil Hamilton and Family.

  The cottage is in such of superb location. The views are magnificent and there is lots to do around the area. Just sitting in the garden you can see so much of the local wildlife (golden eagles etc). The house itself is very comfortable, light and airy. It has all you could need in a holiday cottage.

• "We booked last October and 3 days into the holiday I loved it so much I booked Fronthill for this April week and again this coming October."

  That's how good it is. No point going anywhere else because Fronthill has it all. The million dollar view that changes constantly, wonderful walks from the door, the friendly down to earth locals, the highland folk museum, cafes, a small supermarket you can walk too so hardly used the car, the wild cat trail, the wind ,the sun, the sheep, the bubbling burns, mountains, hills, snow, rain then more snow then sunny again. The house is light, spacious, cosy warm, beds so comfy, facilities perfect. Great for kids especially. Toys and games kept us connected as a family with hardly any internet browsing because we were so busy. Now that's priceless. Cant thank the owners enough for sharing this very special gem.

• "We were with five adults from the Netherlands having a great stay at Frontview Cottage, It is situated at a beautiful spot on walking distance to the village of Newtonmore."

  Having cooked the most days by our selves the kitchen was provided with everything we needed. Suggestions for cottage improvement would be to replace the bathroom separated hot & cold water valve of the sink for a mixed hot/cold water valve. We have mist a separate toilet. We loved the opportunities for walks in the backcountry of Newtonmore and the advantage of the nearby train station. Thanks the owners for tip of The Letterbox restaurant, we had a lovely diner for a good price, surely recommended.
