Perfect getaway for Christmas day (or for any occasion), the lodge had everything that we needed, and was very comfortable, clean and cosy. The Hot tub on the decking was perfect for relaxing and taking in the wonderful views.

The cottage was charming, comfortable, well-equipped, and conveniently located — just a few blocks from the village square with shops and pubs. It was the perfect home base for exploring Royal Deeside.

We had such a wonderful stay and honestly can’t recommend Beechwood Cottage highly enough. Paul (and Yogi 🐶) were exceptional hosts from the moment we arrived, warm, welcoming, and friendly, which made our stay very relaxing. The room itself was beautiful and stylish, with everything thoughtfully arranged and all the facilities you could possibly need. The bed deserves a special mention because it was incredibly comfortable! Easily one of the best nights’ sleep we’ve had away from home. One of the highlights was the breakfast delivered straight to our room. It was absolutely amazing and felt like a real treat to start the day. And we can’t forget the cakes from their bakery - absolutely delicious. We were also travelling with our dog, and it was great to have a safe and welcoming space where he could enjoy the stay just as much as we did. That made a big difference for us. All in all, a fantastic stay with lovely hosts, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon.

The cottage has character and was in a good location for exploring the Cairngorms. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom and kitchen clean and functional. The living room was cosy.

Fabulous cottage, furnished to a high standard with everything thought of. It well located for a quite time but close enough to Carrbridge. There's a very quiet forest across the road that has lots of paths for walking/cycling. The hot tub was superb and used every day. The games room has table tennis, darts, large Jenga etc and a haven for family fun. Overall, the best cottage we've staying in for some time and would definitely stay again. There's so much t o do in teh area.
