Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"The apartment, was clean, cosy and warm."
Water was hot and plentiful. Apartment was great for the two of us.
Parking easy, details of where to find the key, were needed but clear and in the key pick up info, you do need a light in the winder.
Very quiet and the village has all you need for a short stay,

"We had a really great stay at 10 Monarch Country Apartments and the location in Newtonmore was perfect."
The apartment was cosy and had everything we needed. There was plenty to do - good walking, interesting Clan Macpherson museum and the wonderful folk museum AND it is all free! This is certainly a property that we would have no hesitation in staying at again.

"A delightful top floor apartment!"
Clean and well maintained. It contained everything we needed for our stay. Great location for exploring the Cairngorms National Park. The only thing that would have made our stay even better is an electric fan as it was a particularly hot week and it did get hot up in the roof. However, we were grateful to have such good weather for our holiday! Thanks for a great week!

"We really enjoyed our stay here."
Great base for walking, with Munros accessible in all directions. The apartment was comfortable and had everything you need to self cater. The Glen Hotel next door was great for dinner too. Just be aware that you will need to climb a lot of stairs to access the apartment

"3rd stay at this holiday flat."
Really like it and very fond of the area.
People sometimes complain there’s a long stairs ascent to it but without that you wouldn’t have the airy feel and be able to look out into tree tops!
Excellent holiday thank you.

"The location was excellent,very quiet and peaceful located in a small villiage,if I were to be picky I would say there’s to many stairs, not so good if your elderly as the final flight of stairs are very narrow and steep and the bed was a little on the hard side."
There’s really only one grocery store in the villiage so be prepared to pay a little extra or load up with food before you arrive.
We traveled 6 hours from Liverpool and I can honestly say we really enjoyed our stay.
Thanks very much rick and Susan.

"Lovely apartment in a building with character and surrounded by beautiful countryside."
Excellent local walks including the Wildcat Trail , the Highland folk museum just down the road is well worth a visit as is the Glen Hotel (within 100m).
Only issue is with the bed which is not that comfortable and very squeaky.

"Excellent 3rd floor apartment which was very well furnished and equipped."
I must have read the initial information incorrectly prior to booking as I thought there was a working safe lift. In booking in info it was stated the lift was somewhat unreliable and were advised not to use it. As were many posters around the whole property.....Getting our suitcases to and from the apartment was very difficult for us both
As I am getting on a bit ( age-wise) and suffer with COPD and Angina...I did find all the stairs very difficult. But I survived as did my Wife who also has a few health problems.
We had a very pleasant stay in Newtonmore and enjoyed the local Glen Hotel for Food.

"A great apartment for a couple."
Comfy bed, decent sized bedroom, nice bathroom, good eating arrangements, quiet and peaceful, very clean. It was a great base for walking locally and further afield in the Cairngorms. Plenty of space to hang wet waterproofs and leave boots just outside the apartment. Kitchen area adequate, maybe could do with a bit more equipment and small plates. Also the bed was a bit squeaky but these are just small niggles. We would definitely like to stay here again.

"This property is perfectly located in Newtonmore near the intersection of the A86 and the A9 which makes it perfect for day trips into the Scottish highlands and out to the Isle of Skye by car."
It is perfectly set up for a couple to spend a week or two exploring northern Scotland. A family with a child could use the flat as well but there is only one bedroom so the child would have the option of sleeping on the couch in the living room (which is very comfortable) or on the futon in the bedroom with the parents. There was a baby crib in the bedroom closet that could be set up in the bedroom for an infant. The flat was very bright, exceptionally clean and everything worked perfectly. The owners were very easy to deal with as well. There is parking for a car in the parking lot right in front of the building off the street. Although the building is on the main street, the unit faces out the rear of the building so there was never any traffic noise at all. This unit is on the top floor of the building so we never heard any noise from any of the neighbors either. There is a lift up to the second floor but to get to this flat you need to climb one flight of stairs from there so this place may not be suitable for the very elderly or anyone who has difficulty with stairs. There are several pubs in Newtonmore, a small grocery store and a gas station which made preparing for our day trips very convenient. My wife and I looked at several dozen places before booking this place. We both agreed that this flat was by far the best value for the money of any of the places that we looked at and that we would recommend this place to family and friends.
