Holiday rentals with lake access in River Spey

The view from the place is absolutely beautiful! We just followed the host’s instructions and had no trouble finding the location. Would definitely recommend this place!

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.

We stayed here for a weekend with the whole family. Plenty of space for 14 people. The house is exactly as described, filled with character and charm. It was fully equipped with everything you could need. The views are stunning and the location is just perfect. My whole family wants to go back. One small note would be the cleanliness - it’s clearly had a clean so it’s nothing too serious but I think it’s just in need of a deep clean, some corners of the house and bathrooms were a bit unclean.

Located right next to Black-watch bar/hotel at the top of the town. Easy walk to Menzies castle, fun walk to the Birks, and it was made even better by the once a month market we got to stop in and buy fresh local goods to cook with and artisans to buy keepsakes. Wonderful place and would love to stay here again!!!

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!

A clean and well-maintained place in a great location for exploring Loch Ness and nearby attractions. We would definitely stay here again!

Sometimes you end up unlocking gems and this one was just that. It was everything we imagined and more. Highland exploration was extremely accessible while the cottage was good enough to just stay there and enjoy as well.

George was an excellent host, providing a warm welcome and great communication in advance of our visit. This is a wonderful house in a beautiful location, and perfect for groups of all ages. Plenty of bathrooms and rooms for relaxing. We enjoyed a week here in mid-June. There were nine adults at one stage, and there was space for us all. I highly recommend Zippity-do-da to anyone visiting this part of Scotland.

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.

Pristine and super comfortable hideaway in beautiful surroundings. The place is better than the photos portray. Very very comfortable bed and lovely & bright living space. Very private including a lovely little outdoor area to relax in the sunshine. The shed with freezer and dryer was very useful for storing bikes. Leanne & Darrin were very responsive and helpful. The location is superb for exploring right from the door or for going further afield. We loved it so much we’ve booked for next year. Such a restorative place to stay.

What a magical place to spend time relaxing! The abbey and apartments are stunning. With lounge windows facing Loch Ness, a large bathroom with a claw foot bath, a substantial master bedroom and separate twin room, it really was a home from home. Fort Augustus is centrally located, and a beautiful little village. We hired a car and travelled extensively through the Highlands. Glencoe is around an hour away, Ben Nevis around 45 minutes, Inverness around 40 minutes, and Balmoral Castle was 2.5 hours away with a spectacular drive through the Cairngorms. I absolutely recommend staying here as your base. You will not regret it. The only thing I would caution is the apartment is on the top floor. This means climbing 6 flights of stairs. There is no lift, so bear this in mind if you have anyone with mobility issues travelling with you. Jonathan, the host, is fantastic in all his communication. Nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be coming back!

The staff on site and host were very responsive in all the messages. I love taking an evening walk around the lake where it’s peaceful and quiet. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Dan's place was fantastic! Lovely cosy flat with everything you need in a great location

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.

Beautiful location, the property was lovely in a stunning location. My only complaint would be the uncomfortable dining chairs.

What an amazing place! Keeping the beauty of such a historical building felt like we were stepping back in time. Lots of room for all 6 of us and especially appreciated the kitchen . In a great location to explore the outdoors . Beautiful location! We loved the place and had an amazing time! Loved the amenities especially the pool. The beauty and peacefulness of the place is hard to describe.

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.

Joyce and Gus were wonderful hosts making us feel very welcome. The freshly baked bread waiting for us was absolutely amazing. The recommendations of thing's to do and places to visit was great and we would definitely return again.

We had a wonderful stay, the cottage is gorgeous and cosy - we felt so at home! Everything was pristine and excellently equipped. The location is remote with beautiful views of the surrounding fields and hills, and allows you to completely switch off. We loved every moment, already scheduling in a return :)

The Bothy is a super space, it has everything you need in a simple layout, with space to relax inside and beautiful surroundings outside. If you want peace and quiet and somewhere to clear your head it is perfect. The access to loch, wood and hill walks is on your doorstep and if you want to take on the challenge on some Munros they are easily accessible too, which worked really well for me. I had a great stay - it could not have been better.

Our family of five loved Linda’s cottage! The view of the river, mountains snd surrounding farmland is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was well-stocked and we ate in both nights-one warm evening on the back deck overlooking the river and the other drizzly night in the lovely dining room (with fresh flowers that were there when we arrived!). We went for walks in the evenings and saw sheep and horses, wildflowers and the river. We enjoyed relaxing and reading in the living room and sunroom that both had large windows to view the beautiful scenery. Linda is a wonderful, friendly and responsive host. We appreciated her attention to detail, including toiletries, board games, book cabinet and crisp linens (the bedding smelled so good!). I highly recommend this hidden gem! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage with our family of four, including two little children. The cottage is very spacious, clean, and well-equipped - especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed. The garden was a real bonus - perfect for the kids to run around and enjoy. The location is excellent! There’s a great café just around the corner, and Aviemore is very close by with plenty of shops, restaurants and a lot of attractions can easily reached by car. The surrounding nature is beautiful, with lots of outdoor activities nearby. Allison was a wonderful host - very responsive, proactive, and full of helpful suggestions for things to do in the area. We felt very welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

The cottage was beautiful, in a great location and so private. It had almost everything we needed for the nine of us and made for a perfect long weekend. It was clean, cosy and well presented. Check in and check out was incredibly easy. Thanks for having us!

Excellent cottage .Very well equipped with comfortable and useful furniture. Spacious toilet with excellent facilities. Kitchen particularly good. with excellent appliances, crockery and utensils. Overall very comfortable wee place with wood stove and central heating when required. Location in a beautiful spot on the edge of Strathmore with the Angus hills behind. Ideal for those who like to enjoy a " back of beyond" area.
