Excellent eco lodge, lovely experience

Pros: The cabin was beautiful and really well organised and made. The hot tub was lovely

Cons: 4pm check in and 10am check out felt unnecessarily tight as a timescale considering hotels are more lenient and have more clean up to do. It felt especially ungenerous as it was mid winter

Idyllic cabin in a stunning location

Pros: Amazing stay! Idyllic spot with so many incredible places nearby to explore! Thoroughly recommend to any couple wanting to explore the Cairngorms \u0026 Highlands and have a cosy cabin to unwind after a day of adventures!

Gavin 9/10

Pros: Extremely cool place to stay. The tiny houses are all self built and pretty ingenious in terms of storage and sleeping arrangements. We were a group of 4 adults (2 couples) and two large dogs and everyone managed to fit still. The outside decking area is very handy, the garden is fenced safely and is pretty with direct access towards the seven briggs walk at the river too, the location is ideal.

Cons: Being a tiny house, advice would be to either go with relatives or with friends who you're quite close to - it's called a tiny house for a reason! Also the pet fee although understandable is per pet which is different from most other hotels/accommodations where it's per booking.

Kerry 10/10

An incredibly relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings!

Pros: The property is incredibly well crafted to a high standard. I have used a lot of huts over the last few years and this was by far the most well thought out. All amenities are here, including WiFi if you need it. I loved the wee wood burner, creating a cosy atmosphere. However, the mezzanine bed with windows for views both out to the hills and up to the stars really made it special.

Cons: N/a

Wow wow wow!

Pros: The tiny house far exceeded our expectations. The space is so cleverly designed in its functionality, and is really well equipped (the coffee machine is an added bonus!) The views from the upstairs bed are amazing, the location is beautifully quiet and the outdoor bath is a fun addition too. It’s a small space so just be sensible with how much you pack and where you store your things whilst staying there. We would love to return one day!

Cons: We loved everything!
