Family holiday
Very spacious and comfortable house in a lovely, quiet location. The bedrooms are all a generous size, as is the well-equipped kitchen (we managed to prepare a 7-course meal for the 6 of us). It's a short and delightful drive from the house to the heart of the Cairngorms. And don't miss paying a visit to the friendly Persie gin distillery just 5 minutes from the house

Wonderful stay close to Cairngorms
The house is lovely. The common areas are open and inviting. The river out back is lovely to wake up to. My only critique would be for comfier couches. Everything else was lovely. Easy access to many sights and hikes. Beautiful landscape. Beds are comfy.

Scotland road trip
The Holly Tree Lodge was our last stop on a 10-day road trip through the Scottish Highlands and it was the perfect place to end our journey. This creek-side property is beautifully laid out, nicely appointed, and even has a dry sauna! We used the large kitchen on our last night and just loved the vibe of the whole place. The property managers were a dream to work with too. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a true Scottish countryside experience way off the beaten path.

Friends reunion
The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for what we needed. Was a shame we couldn’t find logs for the log fire - would have set the atmosphere nicely. Also a few more sofas in the living room would have prevented people sitting in the floor. However, the space was great and we loved the outside space. Definitely be back in the summer.

Beautiful property and location!!!
We spent a weekend at the property for a 40th birthday with close family and found it perfect! The house is HUGE and had the bonus of the annex property which allowed older parents to relax in the morning away from early rising children! We had the luck of the Scottish weather which allowed us to open up the massive doors and windows onto the balcony which overlooked the garden and river in the sunshine all day. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone especially this with larger families staying and looking for a relaxing time.

Everything was as described. The home was very nicely designed and set up. The upstairs bathroom did not have towels or toiletries but there was enough in the downstairs area. It was a nice drive into the national park and groceries were only about 20 minutes away. We would stay here again.
