About this house rental

At an elevation of 354m (1160 feet), on the snow road and on the fringe of the Cairngorm Mountains this cottage is well placed for exploring the malt whisky distilleries and the great outdoors. The wood burning stove and private enclosed garden make it a real home from home and it is a short walk to pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops. Sleeps 4 adults comfortably and there is space for an additional travel cot for infants. Central heating and double glazing with towels, linen and toiletries provided.

Tomintoul, the kind of place where a log fire crackles in the living room and the outside world feels pleasantly distant.It's the sort of village where most of the houses gather around a single street, and that's enough. No need for more. The police, fire and rescue service, and NHS all share one building. One pub, one hotel, one restaurant, one village shop. Simple. Uncomplicated.I haven't seen this much wildlife in a long time. Red squirrels, deer, pheasants, rabbits, birds of prey, and other birds whose calls I couldn't recognise. Don't bring your headphones here, you'd be missing the point. What a great few days. The kind that remind you how little you really need: a quiet village, a few paths, good company, and the feeling that around the next bend there might be something worth stopping Ailsa is an excellent host—very communicative, direct, and responsive. I never waited more than an hour for a reply to any of my messages, which made the whole stay feel smooth and stress-free.The welcome pack at the property contains everything you need to know about the cottage and provides helpful guidance on navigating the limited resources available in the village. It was an invaluable source of information throughout our stay.The cottage itself is stylish, charming, and beautifully presented. From the moment we arrived, it felt warm, welcoming, and instantly like a home away from home.

Perfect for us and the dogs. Super cosy and one of the nicest places we’ve stayed in. The log burner is super efficient and the whole place was spotless and well appointed. We will be back.
