ABI St.David 6 Berth Caravan
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (24)
"Nice caravan in the quiet town of Boat of Garten. We stayed here four days as our base for day trips to the Cairngorms, Nairn and Inverness. The caravan was clean and nicely appointed. Just be aware the Wi-Fi is non-existent—never got it to work—and the washer and dryer is in a separate building and cost a total of 9.5 pounds per load. Otherwise all good!"

Fabulous location, luxury lodge for 8+2 in cots, hot tub, garden, garage, dogs
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (83)
"Lovely, comfortable cottage in a great location for a range of activities. Cosy for an October break but would be fantastic in warmer weather too. Our only small criticism was the night time temperature was set at 15 degrees and couldn’t be changed and while there was lots of cosy bedding we had a toddler who still wakes a couple of times in the night so it was a bit cold tending to him. Still a 5⭐️ break."

3.5 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"Having read excellent reviews of Tayview Lodges, my wife and I arrived with great expectation and we were most certainly not disappointed. Our lodge, Little Lodge 2, was immaculate and in pristine condition. The spotlessly clean windows afforded uninterrupted views of the serene surroundings, the lodges being extremely well spaced out.
