Beautiful, quiet location and cosy house

We had a wonderful weekend staying at this beautiful property. The location was stunning and wonderfully quiet, and the house itself was perfect. Lovely and cosy, but also offering a games room which was a big hit with the little ones! Would definitely recommend, great communication with owners who were very helpful and fantastic value for money - we hope to return this year!

Fabulous, warm, superbly equipped property

This house was perfect for our group of nine friends on a winter climbing holiday. It was warm, very comfortable and was probably the best-equipped house I've ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything we needed to cater for our large (and hungry) group, including a very good coffee machine and plenty of large pans and roasting trays. We also appreciated the excellent Sonos sound system in several of the rooms.The location was quiet and we saw a red squirrel in the garden a few times.I would recommend this property to anyone and will definitely book it again next time we visit the Cairngorm region.

A beautiful, spacious home with lovely hosts!

We were a large family group, and really enjoyed our stay at Lyn and Michael's beautiful home. It is super clean, with good facilities and full of warmth and character. Some of the beds could have been more comfortable, and may need to be updated. The really well-maintained wrap around garden is the best feature of the house in our opinion, while our kids loved the game room! Michael and Lyn make every effort to welcome guests and address any needs. They were very understanding when we misplaced the keys (which we thankfully later found!). I have no reservations at all in recommending this lovely home for a large group!

Better than you think

A luxurious pad in the Abernethy forest which I think is somewhat better and more luxurious than the photos on the listing suggest. There was 12 of us and space was no issue. Great kitchen and walks right out of the door into the huge Abernethy estate. One of the single beds could perhaps do with a mattress upgrade, but other than that, a top spot for a holiday.

We had a lovely weekend break at the house. It’s very well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a holiday. It’s in a great location - a weekend is not enough time to experience all that the area has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Lyn Henderson

Host profile image
We are a family of four with 2 boys. We love mountain biking, skiing, hillwalking, canoeing - any outdoor activities really! We live in Edinburgh but try to escape up to the house ourselves as often as we can.

Why they chose this property

Lovely woodland and riverside walks and off-road biking from the door. Beautiful scenery, totally peaceful and amazing starry skies. Heaps to do for all ages in the area. Great wee village shop and butcher.

What makes this property unique

We love the house because it's roomy but cosy at the same time. It's in such a peaceful location and the garden is really big and enclosed, with dozens of trees - perfect for kids exploring and building dens and watching the red squirrels. It's great to have the large play room with the TV and table tennis table separate from the quiet lounge! It's also our home from home so it has lots of extra touches, equipment, books, games etc
