The Polchar - Aviemore

Fabulous, we will return for sure.

Pros: The beds were very comfortable and the house was warm and welcoming.

Cons: We arrived in the dark and it was very icy. There is no outside light at the front of the property which was unfortunate.

Cannot recommend highly enough, perfect place for our friends\u0026 family stay for a wintry break.

Pros: The house, the grounds, the facilities, hot tub, the size of the property and bedrooms/ living rooms and warmth- the place was absolutely fantastic, couldn't have found or asked for more for our Hogmanay trip. Kids and dogs especially loved the incredible spaces to roam and play areas and woods surrounding the house.

Cons: Nothing- any queries were addressed by Marco ahead of arriving and any questions when we were there were answered promptly. The weather was pretty heavy snow/cold when we were there (which was awesome) so we had to consider some additional stuff- snow-shovels, brushes etc that weren't in the house, but Marco promptly informed us where within the grounds/sheds to find what we needed.

Amazing Christmas at The Polchar

Pros: Spent Christmas at the Polchar with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very spacious with great amenities and cooking facilities. All the bedrooms were super comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. Our stay was brilliant and couldn’t fault anything with The Polchar.

We had a brilliant time for my Dad's 60th birthday.

Pros: The accommodation is perfect, it is well equipped with everything possibly needed. It is very spacious and welcoming for families.

Cons: N/a

Great, cosy cottage, excellent location, spacious and comfortable

Pros: Lovely cottage - spacious, great garden, good facilities, cosy and in a lovely area.

Idyllic but storm Amy put a dampener on the weekend. 🤷‍♂️

Pros: Everything. Exceptional property with an abundance of facilities for all the family.

Cons: Nothing.

Rural Aviemore stay

Pros: The location and size of property were great for our party of 8. Bedrooms were all good sized. Kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you could need.

Cons: We experienced issues with the lack of bins throughout the property. The kitchen bin was broken, which was not acceptable. The outside bins were full before we even arrived so there was nowhere suitable to dispose of rubbish. We found this to be poor. We struggled to get the aga working properly. One of the bedrooms had crisps on the floor, so this didn't appear to have been cleaned properly. There was also a fair amount of dust, granted in harder to reach areas, however this did give the overall feel that the property wasn't particularly clean. The gardens were vast and lots of seating etc, however it all just felt a little bit uncared for, with leaves piling up and weeds in all the planters. It just could have been nicer.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting

Pros: Lovely house with lovely grounds and all the things you’d look for. Comfy beds, clean, well stocked.

Cons: Check in is very late in the day. A few small things like batteries in remotes were dead, lightbulb out

Pros: The Polchar was absolutely amazing. We loved it. The house was beautiful and wonderfully clean. It was charming, spacious and well equipped. The grounds were stunning and extensive. Really beautiful. Having the play area was amazing for our 16 month old daughter - it made our lives much easier! Location was fantastic - very easy to get to all the local attractions and countryside. The hot tub was lovely. Marco was very communicative and helpful. Will absolutely stay again. Could not recommend it more.

Cons: We loved the property. But some of the outside areas needed a bit of attention. There was a broken goal post on the lawn, some areas of the grounds taped off, and some of the play equipment needed some maintenance.

Mums 70th birthday trip

Pros: Everything! The house and gardens are gorgeous! The house is so comfortable, kitchen has everything you need, great location, my mother in law is a keen gardener this house stood out for us because of the beautiful gardens, she was very happy to potter about the garden during our stay and tend to a few of the plants and flowers. We had a lovely stay, the host even returned a left behind bag to us in the post. 5 star review from us.

Cons: Having to leave was the worst part of our stay.
