Had to leave after 2 nights.

It was a great stay! The cottage was perfect with a great view. The village was like in a fairy tale... Restaurant and pub really nice. Felt home and can imagine come back for a longer holiday.

The double bed was smaller than we are used to, but then again beds away rarely match up to the one that we are used to at home. The bed room fire alarm (Co monitor?) didn't seem to work. Not a problem for us since we always carry our own Co monitor when away.

The property is on the outskirts of Tomintoul and has lovely views of open countryside and the hills from the sitting room and the outside terrace. We stayed in the single unit, which is compact but has all the facilities that we needed plus Cameron said that we could use his tumble dryer. The owner, Cameron, is not always at the property but we did get to meet him and he is a lovely person. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this spectacular area, which is also reasonably close to the Grampians and the East coast.

Nothing. Absolutely great out of all the air bnb and booking sites this week this was the best hands down. Only possible downside or upside is miles from any eateries . Or just cook here in the kitchen . There is a pub in the village but we missed it ..

Self contained premises with parking , shower and kitchen lounge with patio doors with stunning Mountain View . Bedroom with soft mattress and lovely furnishings all around.

The cottage was extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. It was a peaceful location in beautiful countryside, perfect for exploring the surrounding Cairngorms. The bed was really comfortable, which combined with the peaceful location led to a good night's sleep!!!!

Linda‘s cottage is superb. As soon as we walked in we noticed the homely feel of this one bedroom unit. The detail to decor and furnishings is exceptional . The outlook to the mountainous terrain, birds and the tranquility was exquisite.

Kettle and tap in kitchen sink were a bit dribbley - but that was a very small thing.

The view from the patio window was lovely - seeing all the birds in the garden as well.. The facilities were good and the bed was comfortable.

Nothing to not like

The interior was tastefully decorated and the property was very clean and tidy. The view was amazing so we've booked to stay again in July. Can't fault Linda's Retreats and fully recommend it to anyone wishing a clean, comfortable place to stay in the middle of the Grampians.

It was cosy, very peaceful and homely. A perfect little getaway whether it was for just peace and quiet or a base to get out in the hills. I slept very well there and felt very comfortable. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Awesome stay! Comfy beds and fully stocked kitchen (except one large pot), comfy stay all around. We even got one additonal blanket after asking :)

I stayed in the one bed cottage overnight. Great spot with beautiful views from the back patio. The accomodation was immaculately clean and tidy and the host was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend if you're looing for a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle.

Warmer weather!

We have really enjoyed our two unexpected nights here at Estacarny! Thank you for creating such a pleasant, well equipped home! We were glad to use the electric blanket on the bed and to be able to increase the heating so easily, although it is August! Would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. The Richmond hotel in the village, served us a lovely meal in our first night! Thank you, Cameron for being able to get hold of you easily when we arrived in the evening and for all your help.

A very nice house. It’s very quiet, clean and comfortable. Cameron is a lovely host. A perfect place to visit the Cairngorms and distilleries.
