Holiday rentals with lake access in River Spey

We loved the place, and is actually better than it looks in the pictures. A lovely cottage , very spacious and well located. Clancy is a lovely host, very responsive and recommended places for us to visit. Checked in with us to ensure we were settled, got us milk and eggs and little treats, which we found extremely thoughtful and useful considering we were visiting just before Christmas. Would highly recommend this place, the village is small but nice and easily walkable. Drivable distance from Inverness, Ullapool, Loch Ness and other places. Would happily stay again.

My daughter, wife and I recently enjoyed 2 nights at this wonderful property. It exceeded our expectations in a number of ways. Firstly the property was exactly as represented on the site. It was very modern (beautifully appointed), very, clean and well appointed (e.g. Aesop products in every room). The spacious kitchen had the latest and greatest in appliances. What we didn't appreciate when booking was that we could access all the wonderful amenities of the Boath House estate. The grounds on which the house are located are spectacular, peaceful and quiet. The outdoor breakfast/restaurant was superb. And the dining room in the Boath House is amazing. One evening we enjoyed a gourmet 5 course dinner that we will never forget (highlight of our entire trip). And the chef came to debrief us on the entire meal at the end. A truly memorable experience all around.

Such a lovely place, wish we could’ve stayed even longer! We used the lodge as our home base for a day trip to Isle of Skye which worked really well. This did require a bit of driving, but we prepared for that. Highly recommend!

A wonderful cottage with everything we wanted. The beds were very comfortable and there was a great kitchen for cooking. The local area is stunning with walkable boat trips and shops etc. would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the highlands .

We had a great few days at Catherine’s lovely place by Loch Rannoch. So peaceful and quiet! Great views over the loch and good local trails for walking, running and gravel biking. Will definitely be on the list for a return visit!

The House by the Loch was perfect for our family holiday (9 adults and 5 children ranging from 2 to 14) There really is something for everyone there.

We've just enjoyed the most perfect week in Scotland using Alison and Michael's place as a base. The house has everything you need to feel comfortable as a family (two adults, a 5 and 1 year old). We had most of our meals at the house and the kitchen and dining area was perfect for this. If it had been a bit drier we would have taken the opportunity to use the outside space more as the views were lovely. As most have mentioned the upstairs is small in comparison to downstairs but this wasn't an issue with young children if we were upstairs we were sleeping and it wasn't noticeable. We would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet rural stay with access to Loch Ness, Inverness and the NC 500.

Lovely place and area. Great local pub. Lovely walks. Very responsive owners. Very clean and comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely to sit by the fire, plenty of coal and wood supplied.

First of all, thank you Fiona for having us in your place. You have been such a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place is lovely and comfortable. Home away from home. We love hearing the birds in the backyard and just relaxing.

This is how Air B and Bs should be. Not only was the accommodation itself fantastic (and obviously being in the Cairngorms, in a stunning location) but the hosts had thought about everything you could possibly need during your stay. Would definitely stay at the Riverside Hideaway again if I was up in that part of the world.

What a beautiful location with so much to do and see. Views right out of the apartment were spectacular We kayaked, played soccer, badminton went swimming, played pool - so much fun!

Magical apartment in the old abbey. Cool building to explore. Don’t miss the graveyard. We had a 6 PM check in and had a flat tire coming up from Fort William. When I informed our host we would be delayed, she actually connected me with a tire replacement company FASTER than the rental company! So, the rental company confirmed the services right away and our delay was only 2 hours. We are SO THANKFUL to our kind host! The Boathouse restaurant has the best views, doesn’t require reservations, and was open later until everything else had closed. It’s a big issue to either have reservations (even for pizza!) or eat super early before 6 pm to get food. No local grocery store. Gas station does have fruit and vegetables. We couldn’t figure out the dryer despite the directions.

A truly excellent accommodation which was exactly as described and just like the photos. We particularly appreciated: -the proactive and responsive communication (Mhairi answered her phone immediately when we called her and also replied almost immediately to text messages) -constant hot water and fabulous rainfall shower (with plentiful shower gel also provided) -ability to control the heating (perfect for softie southerners) using the hive system -generous provision of snacks, croissants, teabags/coffee and a pint of milk left in the fridge -comfortable beds and lots of cosy blankets in the living room (another win for those that feel the cold) -central location with free parking nearby -flexible check out time (though obviously this may not always be available if new guests due) Worth mention that the flat is on the second floor so may not be as suitable for people with mobility issues and/or a lot of heavy luggage -not an issue for us as we were only staying one night.

I loved this venue! It was so so pretty. I wish I would’ve stayed longer but the host was very accommodating and made sure my stay was pleasant. I had everything I needed. Would definitely visit again!

This place is quite special: the Apartment is in the oldest Part of the converted Abbey. It is very large, nicely furnished with extremely comfortable sofas and beds and has a very nice kitchen and bathroom. But this isn‘t all, there is the swimmingpool, gameroom etc. that you can use - even though the place was pretty full we hardly saw other people and did not hear anything from them in the flat. The absolut greatest thing about the place is it’s location right on the Loch Ness, tranquill and beautiful.

Angela's place in Findhorn is simply beautiful and we had everything we needed from the amazing location, to the accommodation itself being exactly as advertised to the way the apartment is decorated and furnished. Angela made everything very easy for us; it is true, she does reply within 1 hour and we felt so welcome when we arrived. The fire was lit, there was prosecco chilling and the lamps we already on. The bay in Findhorn is stunning and the apartment is right on the sea front. It's a short walk to the sandy part of the bay to see the seals and there is a lovely pub, The Kimberley, no more than 100 metres up the road. Everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend Angela's place and we will definitely stay there again when we return to Findhorn. Thank you again.

Me, my partner, two of our close friends and our greyhound Louis had a magical week at the boathouse. Not only were we blessed with end to end sunshine, but the boat house was so wonderful, that for several days we didn't leave the accommodation. The photos on here do not do the boathouse justice, it was spotless and brimming with character - not to mention the bathrooms were wonderful! Huge recommendation would be to bring or rent a kayak for the lake, we spent hours having fun on there and it would be the perfect pastime for children too! Perfect spot for a couples holiday, a romantic getaway, or even a family holiday! We will definitely be back.

A beautiful location, very peaceful and great watching the birds. Kitchen had everything you needed. The log fire was a bonus and very cosy. Joyce is a very friendly host and happy to help with what is around.

Wow! What a gorgeous place! Stunning. Spotlessly clean, spacious and very comfortable, this cottage is an absolute delight - a real home from home and a little bit of luxury after a long day of driving. This cottage gave me the best nights’ sleep on the NC500! Thank you, Alexander, for hosting us - I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Rowan Cottage again.

We left this morning and want to go back. The only noise we heard was the call of birds and the gentle lapping of the water on the beach. The Bothy is toasty warm and we didn't need the log burner. Everything you need is supplied. It is also very convenient for many attractions and lots of walks. We booked to see wildlife and go on scenic walks. It didn't disappoint. We've seen Golden Eagles, Osprey, Hen Harriers, a Merlin, Newts, tadpoles, too many little birds to mention, and whilst on the Jacobite Steam Train we saw the White Tailed Eagle. Thank you to Melanie and Peter. Lovely hosts, welcoming but gave us privacy.

Not only was this place spectacular but Allison was the perfect host. The house had literally all of the comforts and personal touches of a private home. And Allison was invaluable in providing suggestions for how best to enjoy the Cairngorms. I would highly, highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful cottage, roomy, peaceful, and squeaky clean. Beautiful location too - highly recommended.

We loved staying here. A great base to explore the area. Walks and cycling on the doorstep in a beautiful location. We enjoyed listening to the flowing river outside from our beds. The house was well equipped for our family of four and two dogs. Alison is a very helpful host.

Winding up through the rolling country hills, we felt we were with Alice, in Wonderland! Quaint house, with spectacular views, sunrise, sunset, quails, white bunnies and a strutting turkey, we arrived to a warm burning wood stove. Hannah and her tin hous met all of our needs, above and beyond! Would highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful trip.
