Creag Dhubh Cottage

The accommodation was excellent.

Very cosy and quiet. It was well equipped and the welcome basket was a nice touch. The whole cottage was clean and tidy with games if you needed them.There were fleeces and treats for the dogs and they loved the large garden with its mature trees to run about in. We had our best holiday ever in the highlands and it was a fantastic base to go out and about from. We would recommend this cottage to anyone who wishes to visit this beautiful part of Scotland.

Fantastic location, set in your own little woods it’s peaceful and relaxing.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable and very welcoming. We all loved it, from adults to children.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the accommodation it was very clean and comfy.

The secure garden was perfect for our young lab. Red squirrels made our holiday. The walks were beautiful and the places to go and see were good. I would recommend this holiday accommodation highly.

Great location, well maintained property with all the comforts of home.

The drive up from Glen Road a bit bumpy and, if your car has little ground clearance, you might bottom the car in some of ruts. Dog enjoyed the freedom of the garden and the Wild Cat walk. Would recommend a visit to the The Wildcat Centre on the Main Street to buy the Wildcat Trail and Wildflower Walks brochures. The Apiary Restaurant in Newtonmore Golf Club dog friendly and they do evening meals as well as coffees. Enjoyed our stay and would go back in the future.

The cottage set in a gorgeous private garden was all we hoped for and more,starting with a lovely welcome pack.

We saw Red squirrels from the sitting room window and deer from the tree house.Lovely walks right from the door including an amazing circular route around Newtonmore.

Creag Dhubh is a comfortable cottage beautifully situated on the fringes of Newtonmore and right at the start of several beautiful walks.

The large, wild garden is a paradise for dogs. The cottage is well-appointed on the whole with quality appliances in the kitchen, though a little more crockery and enough dishwasher tablets to last the week would have been appreciated. A couple of issues that occurred were promptly dealt with by the friendly owner. Newtonmore is well-situated for excellent walks, a good many Munros and main tourist sights such as Inverness, Loch Ness, the Caledonian Canal and thpe many sporting activities at Aviemore, including a number of excellent dog parks.

Loved the location of the cottage, great walks from the doorstep.

Very cosy and comfortable. Had everything we needed for a really wonderful week. Easy to get to lots of locations. We had loads of snow one day, magical. Still able to access the roads and get about. Would definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

It was very comfortable and the red squirrel came to the garden frequently. We loved the walks from the door with the dog

Very much enjoyed our stay at Creag Dhubh Cottage, the location at the edge of the village is ideal, nice and quite but just a couple of minutes away from the centre of Newtonmore.

There are walks from the door step which are well worth doing with some incredible views of the mountains if you have a clear day. The Glen hotel in the village is also worth a visit for a meal. The house is clean and tidy, well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The shower in the on suite is warm and powerful. If you visit during the colder months the central heating is too good and we had to turn it off at times as the dogs were too hot but at least we weren't cold and we had no problem drying wet boots and coats. Only negatives were the condition of the track leading up to the cottage has to be driven carefully and the outside light wasn't working which was a little inconvenient when arriving back at night. Would definitely stay here again.

The last part of the approach to the house was rocky and needed care even with a 4x4 car.

The freezer space was very limited if you buy frozen food. Otherwise it is a comfortable warm house in a good central location for exploring.

A very comfortable stay with everything you could need.

Ideally situated for some nice walks and notctoo far from the village facilities. The garden could do with a bit of TLC but perhaps that will happen now the building next door is finished.

Stayed here with a friend and our two dogs, and we were instantly charmed by both the cottage and its surroundings.

The location is peaceful and picturesque. Newtonmore itself is a lovely village, and we unexpectedly stumbled upon the Wildcat Experience, which added a fun twist to our stay. (We then knew what the strange cat ornament in our garden was all about). The cottage is warm and welcoming. Comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and even throws for the sofa for the dogs, a small touch that made a big difference. It’s clear the owners have considered the needs of both two and four-legged guests. A couple of practical notes: the lane leading up to the cottage is quite uneven and stony, so take it slow when you're driving. The garden is large and full of beautiful trees, lovely to look at, but not really secure for dogs. A small fenced-off area would have been ideal for those early morning and late-night toilet trips. Overall, it was a delightful stay in a charming spot. Would happily return.

Lovely property in a fabulous location, spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

Stunning location, the garden is so quiet and relaxing. Definitely want to stay here again.

A lovely, warm cottage which had everything we needed.

Clean & well-equipped. Great garden, particularly enjoyed by our dog, Rufus, and a deer one morning. Perfect location - either walk into the countryside or down into town from the cottage - and for walks & activities further afield. Would certainly stay here again if heading up this way in future.

Loved the cottage and set up for myself and dog and appreciated the gift basket set up.

The location was perfect and exactly what I was after.

The house was beautiful, warm and cosy and very well equipped.

The only niggle we had was the road immediately running up to the house was very difficult to drive on and has rather large rocks protruding which dented the front base of the car. Could do with resurfacing so it is more easily accessible to all, not just off road vehicles. Other than that we have had no issues, it was lovely and we will be booking again.

Very lovely accomodation, lots of space and perfect for us and our dog!

Great location to go walking from and not too bad a drive to lots of other areas, we drove to Fort William and climbed Ben Nevis one day!

It was a beautiful place to spend our holiday.

A great location for walking, cycling, wild swimming and star gazing. We all loved the garden, but the dog most of all!

We had an amazing week here.

The cottage was clean and cosy and well kitted out with everything we needed for our stay. The garden is superb if you’re a wildlife lover like we are, and there are plenty of walk’s available right from the doorstep. Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week and found the property clean and comfortable.

It was a little difficult to find, but a new sign for the property we stayed in plus another new property was put up whilst we were there. It has beautiful scenery all around and is more or less secluded. The other new property is quite close but there is fencing which will enable guests to be separate while they enjoy the large garden.

Excellent property

We had a really wonderful time staying at this beautiful accommodation.

It’s set in an idyllic location surrounded by trees and it was wonderful watching an array of birds species visiting the garden (we brought bird seed from Tesco's Aviemore) we even saw a red squirrel which was an amazing sight too behold and we were so happy we saw this iconic Scottish animal. There is also a lovely walk to go on not too far away from the property within a beautiful setting with many sheep. The property itself is very warm and cosy with all the amenity's you will need for your stay. It’s a little gem and we’re very glad we found it. We will be booking again very soon.

This is obviously a very new cottage , furnished to a high standard with quality appliances in the kitchen.

Some of which could have benefited with the instruction leaflets. The last 100 yards of the approach road could do with an upgrade, otherwise we have no complaints and throughly enjoyed our stay.

Its a really nice stay, beautiful location and all the amenities you need are there.

We especially loved the jacuzzi bathtub. We saw some reviews mentioning the building works but we had no inconveniences from this at all. The surrounding area is so peaceful and lovely to go for walks as well! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

We had a lovely stay, there were deer in the garden.

We were not affected by the building works and will definitely return. The house was finished to a high standard. If you have children we would highly recommend a visit to the Newtonmore Alpacas it was a superb experience.

The house was nice holiday was ok.

We expected to go to the middle of nowhere and have a peaceful holiday but they are building a new house adjoined to this one and workmen came every day at 8 am to start work on the house. Was expecting nice views from the windows but fences and building equipment all over the place at the back and vans parked right outside the bedroom window so had to keep blinds shut constantly so not much privacy. My dogs are very barky if they see people and folk walking by the windows (workmen) and random people coming to the door looking for the owner didn’t help wanting a peaceful time away from home. They also kept leaving the gate open and I have two dogs and there are sheep about and I was worried they were going to get the sheep that were wandering around the road. The house it’s self was ok. There is a few faults that need fixing eg. The bath plug doesn’t open had to get the guy to come fix it and he used a knife to open it which we had to do to empty the water, the extractor fan in the en suit doesn’t work and drips and gets the floor all wet, the microwave crackles when you try to use it, the sinks in the bathrooms are wobbly. There isn’t a usable freezer in the house I ordered shopping to be delivered when we got there and there was only space for one bag of ice for drinks. Don’t buy anything that is freezable when ordering your shopping. The house was pretty clean apart from the bath which needed a good scrubbing of the jets as they were embedded with grime and a few run through of water to clean the pipes was pretty filthy, black chunky bits eww. The air fryer was dirty so didn’t use that everything else was spot on. Kitchen has all equipment you would need to make meals. Bed was super comfy. Garden is huge good for the dogs. It’s nicely decorated shame about all the problems.

It's a lovely cottage but the pictures of the cottage were misleading as it's basically a building site.

The photos on the website do not show another property is being built adjourning the cottage. Also, there was no information pack in the cottage for things like recycling etc

"Thank you for sharing your property in lovely surroundings and a great location.

We had everything we needed in the property for a comfortable stay. There were a few building works ongoing that we would have liked to have been aware of, but as we were out and about daily they didn't really bother us(this would not have been the case if we were planning to get up late in the morning -building work started at 8 am - or staying in the property during the day) Once again a beautiful property in the heart of the hills!
