"The property is amazing."
Its large, spacious , comfortable and clean. There were only 2 of us and 2 dogs so we didn't use the house to its full potential but we had the most incredible holiday. Just what we needed. I had to message the cleaner while we were there as one of the metal pieces on the ridge came loose during high winds and was lifting off the roof but she said she would let the owners know. There were only 2 very minor issues - the fitted sheet on the Master bedroom bed didn't fit and every time we got in, it curled up off the mattress, and for some reason the plug had been cut off the hoover so we couldn't vaccuum before we left. Would love to return, its in our favourite área of Scotland and the property is just perfect. Thankyou

"We stayed here for the Christmas period had an amazing time the house was home from home with everything you need and more."
They had even put a tree and decorations up for us on our arrival was very nice. Will 100% be booking again would highly recommend to anyone 10/10 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"A well laid out property with plenty of room for our party of 6 adults."
The distillery next door was quiet and had some interesting gins. Location was good for accessing the highlands but 3 miles from nearest shops. The property needed a proper spring clean and refresh but we enjoyed our stay.
-
"Lovely home to stay in, in a beautiful quiet area."
Perfect base for exploring the Highlands. Plenty of space and storage, and lovely little touches like books and board games! Comfortable and cosy at night. We would stay again! Thank you!
-
"Location wise is great ."
But there is something broken on roof . The first night was very windy due to that whole night we had clunging noise in one if the room which got blue paint and even other nights we had same problem . The house needs to update especially bathrooms . Downstairs is nice
-
"Excellent property."
Great location and splendid surroundings. Hearing the stream burbling at night and the soft cooo of the pigeons, and breathing the clean soft air lulled us to sleep. Would highly recommend for couples or small families.
-
"A great, comfortable holiday house with everything we needed."
Although a large casserole dish with lid would have been handy. We used the sun room and decking more than the living room as the weather was so nice. Good showers with plenty hot water. Happy to recommend and would stay here again.
-
"Lovely property."
Comfortable, maintained and modern. We found the cottage location ideal, it was in a quite and private area yet was convieniet to get to Aviemore, the National park, Mt Caingorm and the Whiskey trail! Importantly there was a Tesla supercharger close by (In Aviemore). Would recommend this property.
-
"Stunning property very spacious and clean."
Our only issue as a family eating at night was no air fryer etc....... But can't recommend this property highly enough, such value for money.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property."
Everything we could have needed was at hand. It is an excellent base for days out. Very spacious. Many properties will advertise the number of people able to stay (eg. "sleeps 8"), but this often leaves little room to 'live in', however, this property left ample space for the recommended number advertised. We would definitely recommend this property (and already have).

"Absolutely wonderful property beautiful location and would definitely recommend ..."
Absolutely wonderful property beautiful location and would definitely recommend to anyone that wants a relaxing holiday or a base to see the wonderful sights
-
"Lovely venue, very comfortable well equipped home."
Grantown-on-Spey has all the shopping facilities required, and there are additional ones available in Aviemore. Lots to see/visit but a car is needed. Very much enjoyed our family stay there. Ian and Pat Ridland

"On arrival a corner cupboard with pull-out trays was dirty."
Everything else was perfect.
-
"As always we enjoyed our stay here, was let down by the now quite broken fridge / freezer not working correctly ( was frozen solid when we arrived, thereby spoiling a lot of food we had delivered when we arrived, and was also broken the year before which was also reported back then too)."
However we totally love the cottage and could quite happily live here, just needs a little loving!
-
"This property and location is stunning."
Plenty to do around the site especially if you like the outdoors, or the occasional gin (gin tour available within throwing distance). An excellent enclosed garden with plenty of space for dogs to run about, especially for the pups that love a ball being thrown. Will definitely make a return visit!
-
"The new table and decking as been put in wrong, screw heads sticking through table top."
The barbeque is not worth using dirty and broke. I love this property, it's my third stay. Really great house and area. I would say to the owners get the right people to look after it.
-
"I wrote in the feedback book in the cottage - "I couldn't find any negatives"."
Very well equipped and a fabulous spot. We all loved it!
-
"The cottage was spacious and well equipped, it is has a lovely countryside setting and we spent lots of time watching the wildlife."
The beds were comfortable and it was good to have an en-suite bedroom downstairs.
-
"We have stayed here on 3 other occasions."
It was always clean and tidy and Health and safety obviously taken in to consideration. It was therefore a shock to find that the old outdoor garden table and chairs were abandoned in the middle of the lawn. In addition it is really very bad workmanship on the new decking and garden table. Screw tips are sticking up on the garden table and if you were unaware and ran your hand across the surface it would rip your hand open. We had a four year old with us so had to keep him away from the table. In addition the decking you can see where the screws have been put in and actually miss fixing the decking all together. On the day of arrival we arrived one minute early but then waited for the lovely cleaner to leave. We then found that in the conservatory the floor was filthy under the chairs. This was not the standard it used to be and I feel sorry for the owners as I feel the property has been badly managed in their absence.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback these issues, and I sincerely apologise for them. I have asked our handyman (who did not assemble the table - I will be contacting the company concerned) to have a look at making it safe as this is obviously unacceptable. I have also been in contact with our cleaning company to ensure that all areas of the house are spotless. I am very disappointed as the house is usually exceptionally clean. I hope you enjoyed your stay despite these concerns and hope you return once again. Property Owner

"Absolutely gorgeous cottage."
Loved it. Beautiful location, stocked with all the essentials, spacious, nicely homey decor and touches, deck to make use of good weather, great water pressure for showers. If there was only one thing I could change, it is that the downstairs double bed was not very comfy, but given the comfort and facilities of the rest of the cottage that is just a small feedback. Would 100% recommend - as close to perfect for us as we have ever had.
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. Next time I am at the house I will have at look at the double bed downstairs with a view to replacing the mattress. I hope you return in the future! Property Owner

"Had a lovely few days at Corriemhor Beag."
On arrival the first thing you see is the overgrown grass but once inside the house is beautiful, well maintained and clean. Very spacious. There is a strong smell comes from the boiler but we had a lovely few days and would definitely stay there again.
Thanks for your comments, and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. We had an engineer out to the boiler the week after your stay and it is now working as it should. Hope to welcome you again in the future! Property Owner

"The property was spacious, comfortable and ideal for purpose."
Very well equipped with a fantastic layout. Lovely location.
-
"We had a very enjoyable week exploring the surrounding hills and general area."
The property was very comfortable, clean and was very well equipped for our stay, with a lot of the essentials already in place when we arrived. A lovely property in a beautiful area.
-
"Really lovely home."
It had everything we could have needed - secure garden for the dog, kitchen utensils, board games. It even has a piano. It’s not the easiest to find the first time you go to it (we ended up driving into the distillery then turning right)
-
"Had a fantastic holiday in Corriemhor Beag, fantastic location, what a beautiful house, so much space for 6 adults and 2 children."
Kitchen is great with everything you need and more, Sun room was a dream. So much to see and do, Steam Train ride, Landmark, Highland Wildlife Centre, wee train ride at Grantown East, also visit to distillery on door step, what an amazing family holiday we all had. Would highly recommend. Hope to be able to come back again.
Thanks for your comments Gina, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. The sun room is my favourite too and I have spent many quiet happy hours in there with a book and a cuppa (or g and t depending on the time of day!) We would love to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"The double bed downstairs needs replacement, it needed replacement a year ago when we stayed too, 3 mattress toppers just doesn’t fix a naff mattress and wonky bed!"
Sad that there is no longer an open fire in the living room! Also, a reported problem with the TV never got sorted out. Picking up someone else’s dog poo was not a great start either!
Thank you for your comments Hilary. As you will know from the Welcome Booklet and Comments Book I urge guests to clear up after their dogs. I don’t know what more can be done, you just have to hope that most guests are responsible dog owners. After your stay last year we invested in a good mattress topper. I will look at it again when I am next up at the house and will check with the cleaners but I am not aware of any other guest comments about that bed. Sadly the chimney flue needs replacing and the cost is not feasible at this moment, especially as the fire is really 'cosmetic' and not actually needed for warmth. I’m sorry about the TV, I was not aware there was a problem? Certainly Sykes never got in touch with me. I trust however you enjoyed your stay, we always enjoy welcoming guests back. Property Owner

"Large and comfortable house and very well equipped."
Outdoor furniture is broken and only sits 4. The table has a wooden spar missing and the chairs are wobbly. The property would benefit with new furniture.
Thanks for your comments. Replacing the outdoor furniture is on our winter maintenance list. We do provide extra folding garden chairs that are stored in the cupboard under the stairs, so there are enough outside seats for 8 Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful house and location, could not fault it and would highly recommend"
So delighted you enjoyed your stay in our house. Thank you for your kind comments. Property Owner
-
"The house is fantastic the location is fantastic."
The only improvements I would make are to replace all the decking and chairs and get a new BQ. This is not a complaint Its what I personally would change.
Thanks so much for your comments. Those items are all on our winter maintenance list! Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"An absolute gem, we really enjoyed our stay, a warm and welcoming home which was the perfect location for where we wanted to explore."
The beds were very comfy, plenty of room in the cottage for everyone. We will definately go back
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"A beautifully presented cottage."
I use the word “cottage” loosely as the property is massive and extremely roomy. The setting was beautiful and the garden very secure which was absolutely brilliant for our 2 Jack Russell dogs. Towels, bedding, toilet rolls and pump soap all provided which makes for an excellent start to the holiday. Only 4 miles from the small town of Grantown on Spey and a well stocked CooP and larger Tesco at Aviemore. Location is very central to explore the many towns, villages, beaches and spectacular scenery. This property is a straight 10 out of 10 !! Oh and a piano in the dining room!!
Delighted you had a good time! (Even if the piano does need tuning!) Hope to host you again in the future. Property Owner

"Holiday enjoyed by all."
Very secure and safe environment for active 5 year old and dog. Very good accommodation and would recommend same.
So glad you had a good time in our home! We love it there and are delighted you did too. Property Owner

"Corriemhor Beag was the perfect place to stay to explore the Cairngorms."
It was our first time visiting this part of Scotland and we will most definitely be returning! It’s really beautiful! The house setting is ideal for those who love their wildlife. We had Hares, Lapwings, Curlews and Oyster Catchers to name but a few! And a tour round the distillery is recommended! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
You visited at exactly the right time of year for the wildlife! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"It was a lovely spacious cottage to stay in."
The facilities were great to have in the cottage. Great collections of board games, books and also DVDs.
So glad you had a good time. And so good to hear you enjoyed the books and games! Property Owner

"Clean, comfy and well appointed property."

"Very pleasant stay lovely house nice and cozy"
-
"Loved the house and the area, and even the weather worked with us."
-
"The house is very clean & well equipped with everything we needed."
The views from the house are amazing & we all loved sitting in the sun room or outdoor decking area. The house provided plenty of board games to entertain the 4 teenagers that were with us, but there was no actual ‘games room’ as advertised for this house. The house provided lots of extras facilities too like beach chairs, bbq etc. We loved that the house also looked on to the Caorunn Gin Distillery, which is definitely worth a visit to their Gift Shop. The house is in a great location to visit near by Aviemore, Nairn, Grantown on Spey in the Moray area.
-
"Were looking at booking the same cottage for next year."
It was that good.
-
"This has been our third stay and as usual it has been fantastic."
The house is very spacious and comfortable with amazing scenery. Close to many activities and walks it is a tremendously relaxing place to be.
-
"This is a really spacious, comfortable, well equipped, warm and clean house for a great family holiday."
It was even bigger and better than the photos show. The sun room is a lovely space even on a dull day. Although in a quiet hamlet it is only a few miles from Grantown-on-Spey for all your shopping needs. It was an ideal base for exploring the woods, rivers, lochs, mountains and history. We enjoyed the cycling, much of which is off road with a range of mountain bike trails and old railway lines and green ways. The coast at Nairn is about 30 minutes' drive away. We had a most enjoyable week at Corriemhor Beag.
-
"Very comfortable house (can't call it a cottage), easy to find, very well kitted out especially the kitchen, much better than many cottages we have stayed in."
A problem with the boiler was sorted out promptly. Corriemhor Beag has clearly been somebody's home rather than a purpose built rental, and feels more comfortable for it.
-
"Excellent large house with everything needed for a relaxing family holiday."
Very peaceful setting but close enough to amenities when required.
-
"Better than expected !"
!! Great location, clean and cosy ! Excellent service !
-
"Had an amazing week at this property."
It is extremely well equipped. Plenty of space although we spent most of our time in the sun room admiring the scenery. Our two dogs loved the garden and it was secure enough for our small Bichon Frise. Very impressed and hope to return in the future.
-
"Beautiful family home in lovely location!"
Loads of space kitchen extremely well equipped fab induction hob so easy to use! Beds a bit soft for our liking! Fantastic garden with loads of space for cars lockable gate with puppy was fab he loved it there can be small gaps in fence but u are made aware of it impossible to check such a vast area! Thanks for a lovely stay felt like a home rather than holiday accommodation hope to return!

"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful place"
-
"We were disappointed that for the second year on the run the cleaning company were still cleaning despite us arriving at 15:30, the information we received told us we could be in the property at 15:00."
-
"The property was lovely."
Perfect for us. Only snag was that not all the radiators worked very well. They probably need bleeding.
-
"I loved everything in the cottage and I would like to say that you will definitely see us again in the future!"
-
"Cottage beautiful only let down by a drainage problem all be it probably caused by guests flushing wipes down toilet !"
Two general waste bins outside wouldn’t go amiss as bins emptied on a 2 week rota . Moan over, the location is ideal for doing the Gin tour at Caorunn distillery highly recommended it & lovely relaxing area .
-
"Very well equipped cottage."
Excellent kitchen, again, very well equipped. Nice property, spacious with great views from the back. Only complaint is the drains. Kitchen sink blocked and required plunging everyday. Drain to the back of the property overflowing, not pleasant to see or smell. Appears to be an ongoing issue which would have been nice to be notified off beforehand. Would book again if drains are sorted.
-
"Very comfortable stay with great facilities in the cottage."
Close to most amenities and day excursions. I know that the house is open to dogs and that was expected but the carpet in the livingroom had a covering of dog hair on it. I would expect more thorough cleaning and/or a Hoover in the house that would be capable of picking up the hairs when used by ourselves.
-
"Beautiful large house."
Plenty of space for all of us 6 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Large fenced garden great for the dogs. Lots of books, games and dvds for all ages. We will be back
-
"You can tell that this holiday cottage was until 2017 a family home, you really want for nothing here."
By far the best equipped cottage we have stayed at. Very pet friendly and you can tell that the owners are dog lovers. The locals and the nearby Gin Distillery were fantastic at helping us with advice when we arrived, there was a fair bit of snow on the ground and advice was given to drive the wrong way around a one way system to avoid a little hill which was impassable for our car, this did NOT in any way spoil our holiday but made us feel like part of a small community. There were a few items not working in the cottage but we made a note in the maintananc log, again none of this really caused any problems. We have already booked a return visit for November with some family members that have not had a holiday in years. We have no hesitation in recommending Corriemhor Beag to anyone, really loved the place.
