Loved waking up to a woodland view and having the opportunity to sit on the balcony listening to silence!! Accommodation is perfect, beds comfortable and the cottage has everything you would need. Lovely long walk to local shop and restaurant. Derek, the owner is lovely.

One of the most unforgettable summer vacations we’ve had was at this beautiful place. Even though we stayed for just three nights, it left us with the most wonderful memories. The location, the natural surroundings, and the eco-friendly concepts added immense value to our stay, creating a fantastic atmosphere for us to interact with nature under the beautiful sunshine. A special thank you goes to Mr. Derek, who was incredibly helpful and supportive. His high-class hospitality made our experience even more exceptional. Finally, we absolutely loved our time at Glencoldon Cottage. We wish the best of luck to Mr. Derek and the entire supportive team for their continued success.

A fabulous place in a perfect location for exploring the Cairngorms or simply watching the view change and relaxing. Really appreciate the efforts made to limit the environmental impact along the way.

A couple of new finds this time round that we would highly recommend were the Canyon Gorge session run by Rothiemurchus at the Falls of Turin and KJ's Both Bakery in Grantown. Of the old favourites, the Old Bridge Inn and bike hire from Ride Scotland in Boat never disappoint.

So good to have returning guests like yourselves - very much appreciated, as will be your incredibly generous donation to the Cairngorms Trust! Very pleased you found the village bike shop still providing a great service; they really are so knowledgeable. All the best!

We just returned from our second stay at Glencoldon and had another fantastic stay. The cottage is so clean and comfortable and the cottage facilities are all top notch. Our three children loved spending time in the wild garden and especially enjoyed looking out for the visiting wildlife. I mentioned in my previous review that our main aim was finding a quiet place for our autistic daughter. Being at the cottage is like medicine for her she just loves the nature and the tranquility, it was so nice as parents to see her so happy and relaxed. If any parent is in a similar position and looking for a quiet holiday I can't recommend the cottage and the area enough. Also Derek the cottage owner could not be more helpful he is a fantastic host.

The heart of the village is a 10-15 minute walk from the cottage and contains the village shop, Andersons restaurant and a bike hire shop which are all fantastic. There is also a good bus service for non drivers like ourselves which we used to visit places like cairngorm mountain, Inverness and landmark adventure park. There are also so many stunning walks accessible right from the cottage front gate.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, and for staying with us again! We certainly try to make sure our guests gain the wildlife / nature and wellbeing benefits of the place, as well as the comfort and facilities you'd expect inside. Great you found the buses and paths got you to most places you wanted to visit. You're welcome any time!
