  Cedar Cottage was an absolute delight to stay in.

  We found the position of Cedar to be really good because you had the views of the mountains in the glen, but also the pond. We have never stayed in a self catering property that was this clean upon arrival. The bed was comfy and so was the sofa. We felt we had a good level of privacy too, despite being amongst seven other cottages. Noise was not an issue. In fact, the only noise you would hear would be the sound of a Curlew or an Oystercatcher her or an Owl. We saw many red squirrels. In fact, the most red squirrels we have ever seen. The enclosed paddock behind 3 of the lodges was an absolutely awesome addition when you have a dog. This allowed for our dog to play safely with other dogs, socialise with the dogs, at the same time whilst we relaxed. But you do also have your own section of garden that is fully enclosed and private. We felt the lodge was mostly well equipped in the kitchen. We would suggest adding a mixing bowl for those that want to bake. And a yorkshire pudding tray of course. They do provide lovely scottish made toiletries and upon arrival, you receive a really lovely welcome pack. The walk down to the falls is lovely. There is a lot to do locally but bear in mind, despite being on the A9 road, you are isolated to some degree. We arranged for a Tesco delivery on the following day and we stocked up on fuel. The owners are really friendly here and helpful and always available on hand. Places we would suggest visiting are Pattack Falls, Cairn Gorm, Green loch, Creag Meagaidh, Aberfeldy, Blair Atholl etc. Aviemore is very dog friendly. We would visit again for sure. And we would actually choose to stay in Cedar again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  TERRIBLE SERVICE FROM OWNERS!

  !! Do not recommend booking here at all as if felt very unhygienic. The owners completely forgot we were arriving!! There were kids lounging around in the house and rushed out as they did a ‘quick clean’. It felt very dirty to stay in as the property has obviously been lived in. The kitchen was dirty, there were crumbs all over the kitchen table and coffee table in the living room. The floor was dirty and unhoovered. Worst part was that the owners first avoided us/ any complaints and then finally refused to compensate us in any way at all (after we left the property). If you have troubles with your experience/accommodation here then it is completely up to them how much they wish to compensate you. We left a day early due to the poor service and still they couldn’t compensate us in the slightest. Sykes cottages or other booking agents will not be able to help you either. Terrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

  Sorry we forgot to write in the visitor's book.

  I had meant to as our stay was excellent! Putting aside the wonderful location, the accommodation was very clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The owners clearly put a lot of effort into maintaining the upkeep of this lovely cottage. The information book was very informative and up to date. A great win were the swings, games room and golf clubs! The children loved these! The only 2 minor things worth mentioning was a lack of hairdryer in the downstairs bedroom (presumably it has migrated somewhere else) and I could not find a peeler- again presumably this has migrated somewhere else! I would highly recommend this cottage to friends and family and would definitely return again. It seemed to have the personal and loved touch which is important for me and my family. I appreciated the handwritten card for us and the milk to get us started! Thank you so much!

  Simply outstanding.

  From the safe car parking area next to your cottage, to the enclosed large communal garden to the idyllic location of the cottages - this has it is all. The cottage itself (Birch) was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you’d need. The smart tv allows Netflix and Prime log ons, which you can then view from the comfortable couch after a day’s walking in the hills. Beds are superb and are clearly very expensive and luxurious leading to a superb night’s sleep. The owners Adam and Leanne are on hand should you need any advice or guidance on the area or your cottage. The whole set up and organisation when you’re there is one of a “safe space” and very comfortable. The location allows travel and visits to lots in the Cairngorms and is a super base. Thoroughly recommended.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ben Luna this October.

  It's the perfect Oct holiday we could've hoped for. The lodge is situated on a hill, surrounded by lush greenery. As soon as we drove through the gate, we felt relaxed and we knew instantly this was a very special place. We were met by the lovely Sarah who showed us around and made sure we were comfortable finding things. The lodge was so well equipped we wouldn’t have needed to bring anything! It even had a baby grand piano which the kids loved playing. The lovely welcome hamper, the attention to detail, and without a doubt the amount of work that must have gone into preparing the lodge showed just how much Sarah and her team valued the experience of their guests. We really appreciated it and I would not hesitate to recommend Ben Luna to anyone who wants a perfect holiday in the Scottish highlands.
