Guests say
West End Cottage is praised for its excellent location in Carrbridge, close to amenities with easy access to local attractions and walks. Guests appreciate the well-equipped space and on-site parking, though the separate garden is noted. The cottage's charm is slightly marred by low ceilings, which may pose a challenge for taller visitors.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and cosy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests are satisfied with.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to local amenities, forest trails, and the Cairngorm National Park, making it an ideal spot for visitors.
The cottage offers adequate space and is cosy, but comfort is compromised for taller individuals due to low ceilings and a deep bath that is difficult to access.
Facilities are generally well-received, but some maintenance issues like a poor shower, damaged curtain, and chipped mugs have been noted, suggesting room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to assess this category.

West End Cottage enjoys a central setting in the popular village of Carrbridge, yards from the famous 18th-century packhorse bridge and near the banks of the River Dulnain, which meanders through the village and eventually merges with the River Spey. The village is situated at the base of the Monadhliath Mountains, and is well known for the warmth of its welcome to visitors. The cottage is the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of the Highlands, and there are woodland and riverside walks to suit all abilities leading right from the doorstep.

Aviemore is situated in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park at the head of the Speyside Way, and the area boasts a wide range of outdoor activities including skiing, snowboarding, mountain and quad biking, zip lining, zorbing, climbing and hill walking and a variety of water sports on nearby Loch Insh, Loch Morlich and the River Spey. Take a trip on the Cairngorm Mountain Railway or visit the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre and the Highland Wildlife Park at nearby Kingussie, all within easy reach. The lovely Spey Valley golf course and the Dalfaber Resort, with its wonderful array of leisure activities, is well worth a visit.
Further afield, take a trip to the beautiful west coast and the Isle of Skye, or a day trip to the Orkney Islands, or perhaps visit the Moray coastline whih is peppered with little fishing villages and beautiful beaches. A super base for exploring the many delights this area has to offer with so much to see and do for all ages. The less energetic can sit back, relax and enjoy the warmth of the wood burner, or sit in the lovely garden and watch the wildlife.

The cottage was in a great location just off the centre of Carrbridge and near the distinctive bridge. The cottage had everything we needed and all the arrangements worked well.

West End Cottage was in an excellent location, close to all local amenities and adequate space, however, ceilings are low and would be a challenge for those close to 6ft or taller. Instructions for heating etc were easily accessible. Parking on site was an advantage. The bridge is a short walking distance from the cottage with Landmark and the local park within walking distance also. Forest trails and river walks are nearby also. Highly recommended having dinner at The Cairn and breakfast / coffee & cake af Carrbridge Kitchen.

Nice and central in the village, good food walks, it was clean and cosy! The garden was great for the dog. The only small complaint was the shower in the bath my partner's head was hitting the roof !
