A beautiful, spacious home with lovely hosts!
We were a large family group, and really enjoyed our stay at Lyn and Michael's beautiful home. It is super clean, with good facilities and full of warmth and character. Some of the beds could have been more comfortable, and may need to be updated. The really well-maintained wrap around garden is the best feature of the house in our opinion, while our kids loved the game room! Michael and Lyn make every effort to welcome guests and address any needs. They were very understanding when we misplaced the keys (which we thankfully later found!). I have no reservations at all in recommending this lovely home for a large group!

Better than you think
A luxurious pad in the Abernethy forest which I think is somewhat better and more luxurious than the photos on the listing suggest. There was 12 of us and space was no issue. Great kitchen and walks right out of the door into the huge Abernethy estate. One of the single beds could perhaps do with a mattress upgrade, but other than that, a top spot for a holiday.

Amazing property for families. Kids loved exploring the woods and building dens within the property. Outdoor living at it’s best. House itself is brilliant, kids loved the games room and the house has plenty if space.

Fantastic family holiday
We booked Glenview for our family holiday this year and it was fantastic. The house is absolutely lovely, large, spacious and very well appointed, with pretty much everything you could think of - a games room, with large TV and huge selection of kids toys and board games, a lovely large sitting room with books, comfy sofas and a real wood fire ( included in the price), and a well- equipped, large kitchen. The bedrooms were all great too. The surrounding garden has a treehouse, and several shelters in the woods around the edge, a lovely lawn area, and a patio with outdoor seating. Our children, and our grandchildren, loved it. There are loads of forest walks on the doorstep, and a shop and cafe in the village 5 minutes walk away. We went hill climbing, walking and canoeing in the the beautiful surrounding landscape, as well as spending time just relaxing and resting. Lyn was so helpful and the house was lovely and clean. Can't recommend enough.

Dream Holiday
This is our second holiday in this property. It was every bit as good as the first. The house is ideal for a three generation stay. Well apportioned, well kitted out, gorgeous location in a quiet Highland village. Lots of activities in the area for all the generations, even in a mixture of weather. I would highly recommend Glencraig.

Family get together.
The house was well equipped and suited us well. A few suggestions for improvement; Include a hand towel for each guest as well as the bath towel. Having only one hand towel in each toilet is not hygienic for several days use for several people. Bathroom especially wash hand basin and showers could be a bit cleaner. We would have appreciated a better supply of toilet paper and soup for the toilets, considering there were no shops close by. The first morning there was no hot water. However this was promptly remedied. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Family Reunion
We had a magical week in Nethy Bridge reconnecting with relatives who live in the area. Glencraig was perfect for our party of 6 adults and we were able to have everyone over for dinner a couple of nights. We loved the spaciousness of the house and its location to many walking paths. Lastly, Lyn the owner was terrific in answering all of my questions before our trip from the States.

The property is lovely. Clean and well stocked with utensils, large kitchen to provide for our family gathering. Room for little ones to run around outside and great to have games/table tennis for the when the weather is not good. Very obliging red squirrels if you put nuts out. Great communication with the host and responsive to requests. Heating easy to use and control. The location is perfect for lovely walks in Abernethy forest and Loch Garten. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent House
Excellent large house with great accommodation in a very nice road near the centre of Nethybridge. The house was in good condition and had all the requirements for our stay. The games room had a full-size table tennis table which my granddaughters loved and a variety of board games. I would reccomend it.
