A perfect week for the family when a well-needed break was sorely needed! Jess (5) was constantly entertained with all there is to do and the house provided the best refuge after busy days.

Evenings with the log fires crackling and the peace and quiet combined with what is a fantastic holiday home will have us returning. Great holiday!

Team Rothiemurchus,

Thank you all very much for a wonderful stay. The house is perfect in every way: only wish we could move in! James a big thnk you for all your assistance this week, very much appreciated. The dogs had a great time in the local area and the dedicated areas were fantastic for them to run and let off steam. We will be back.

Many thanks.

Dear All

Well it’s Friday and the week is over – home today! What a wonderful stay we have had. It has been 30 years since we visited this part of the world and what a pleasure it has been to return.

Finding The Boat House was indeed the best part of our trip. Like others before us this house is somewhere that feels like home the moment you come through that wonderful front door. It was so welcoming having the log burner lit for our arrival, the gree flowers in the roo,s and all the little touches which says so much about the kindness of Philippa and Johnnie and the Rothiemurchus team. We just loved it. Thank you so much.

Finally, I just want to say that the best meal of the holiday was cooked my nephew using Rothiemurchus best Filet Steaks. Wow out of this world! And didn’t even need to do the washing up!

Lovely house. We had a great time visiting the lochs, and walking among the pine trees. Our dog very much enjoyed sniffing and following the pheasant too. I particularly like looking at the Castle at Loch an Eilein.

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house. It has all been so beautifully done and thought out and we are going home with lots of design ideas.

The area is fabulous and we have walked through the forest and around Loch an Eilein on most days.

Boat House, you have been amazing!

What a privilege to spend the most wonderfully relaxing week here.  The setting, interior, breathtaking scenery, activities and fresh air will be unforgettable!

Thank you to Amy, Johnnie and Philippa for your hospitality and kindness, we will definitely be back! What a way to spend Dom’s 50th!

What a beautiful home!  We cannot think of a better place to spend a week – lovely interior, great location for exploring the Cairngorms, and the Farm Shop a short walk/drive away!  Our dog Toby and all the family had a wonderful time, and we’re already thinking about when we might return.

A wonderful week at the gorgeous ‘Boat House’ full of relaxing family time & fun activities.  Dogs had a fantastic holiday, enjoyed the garden, and loved all the special touches in the house.  Such a lovely atmosphere you have created.  We plan to be back.

We have had another lovely holiday here this week (our 2nd trip to the Boat House!).   The area around Rothiemurchus is pretty unique and the house is amazing.

Thank you for the lovely welcome!

Hope to return again

Thank you for an incredible stay!  Having this sanctuary to retreat to after walking in the wind/hail/snow was the perfect ending to each day.  We did not want to leave and we will definitely be back – hopefully sooner rather than later!

… with festive touches added to the already warm and welcoming decor. It really was just wonderful, and delight for all the family. Many thanks to James, Amy and Janet and the wider team for helping make it happen and supporting Santa to create special surprises.

We have loved it more than we could ever explain on these pages. What a beautiful house in a beautiful part of the world. The only way we can convince ourselves to leave is to promise that we will come back again soon.

It has been a truly exceptional experience with no detail missed ensuring a wonderful relaxing time our expectations were blown away!!
Can’t wait to return.

Thank you to the Grant family.
You’ve created one of life’s most magical and truly scrumptious places to visit, Rothiemurchus estate, and an idyllic Boat House you just don’t want to leave!

Pawsibly the best place on earth. Impawsible to beat. We hope to stay Furiends Furiever and to visit often.

Eat, sleep, explore, repeat!

The villa had all we could need for our stay & this is one of our favourite places to stay.
We’ll definitely be back!
