Lovely roomy cottage in a great location. Comfortable beds and furnishings. It would have been nice to have a king size bed in the main room but other than that it was lovely.
Good quality towels and a really well equipped kitchen were also plus points.
Communication with the owner was great and the local neighbours were also welcoming and helpful, especially Davey who let us have his parking space.
We would definitely stay in Grantown on Spey and at Viewfields again.

The cottage was impeccably clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

We were pleased to hear that overall you found the cottage comfortable and found the garden nice and secluded. The owner of the property let us know that the key for the back door is in the hallway, however it leads into the garage and therefore only allows access for disposing of ash from the wood burner and is not a fire exit. The fire exit is via the front door as shown in the cottage documents and licence documents in the cottage that also clearly show the exit route in case of a fire. Thank you for taking the time to review.

Cottage clean and tidy. Well equipped. Space in the cottage generally OK but the kitchen is small so can really only have one person in there at a time. Also if you were having six people stay, there is a table that seats six but really not enough room to pull it away from the wall to seat six (sofa would prevent this). We were disappointed with the cottage in several areas. We purposely booked this one because we wanted onsite parking. The parking space is outside the cottage garage and is minute. You would need a very small car to be able to use it! We have a VW Golf and could not use it. Most cars would not be able to use it. In the cottage you are overlooked on all downstairs windows so limited privacy. Finally the garden is across from the cottage on the complex so difficult to just wander out in the morning to use it. Only place we have ever stayed where we weren’t even left a pint of milk on arrival. Overall, probably one of the most disappointing cottage rentals we have had in the UK.

We were sorry to hear that the cottage didn't meet with your expectations. The kitchen and dining facilities can be seen on the photographs and there have been no previous comments from parties of any size which have indicated any issues. The garden is across a communal driveway (less than 5 feet from the front door) within a private courtyard and one neighbour at the end of the lane. The nearest neighbour is approximately 100 yards away. The cottage's owner has an estate car which fits into the parking space with no trouble.
