Inverie is the quintessential location for the upper Dee and into the mountains. It's maybe worth commenting that some of the furniture and kitchen gear could do with a refresh, but, as I say, it's perfect for the walker or naturalist. Location trumps quite a lot! ##### Ian Y.

Great cottage sitting on the bank of the River Dee. The cottage was warm with good heating and a nice open fire with plenty of logs provided.

It is lovely to be within hearing distance of the river and to have the superb view of the Cairngorms around. The cottage is old fashioned, but welcoming, and very spacious. There is room for secure bike storage in the utility room, and the place would be good for dogs. As retired women, we love the proximity of many scenic local walks, not too demanding but very interesting. In previous years, we have loved watching red squirrels feeding from the bird table in front of the lounge window, but sadly, probably because of the lack of visitors earlier this year (due to COVID), they were not so frequent. The caretaker is helpful and friendly, and has always responded promptly to any problems. We would be very happy to come here again if we can.

Log fire was nice. View from the front windows of the cottage were fantastic. Oven was easy to use. Shower in the bath was lovely even though the bathroom was really cold. Had a problem with the hot water tap in the bathroom not working and it was fixed immediately by the caretaker. Peace and quiet with no Wi-Fi and phone signal at the cottage. Dog friendly as well. I really hope I can go back and stay here. ##### Lesley This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 1 Sept 2019 #### The location is superb and if rural is your thing everything is on your doorstep. The location is superb and if rural is your thing everything is on your doorstep. We had red squirrel eating nuts from the bird feeder - so remember to pack some - and deer crossing the river at dusk. All this before you even step outside. ##### Chris This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie 6 Jul 2019 #### We both had a lovely time at the cottage. We both had a lovely time at the cottage.-(2 over 60's) We went primarily for the walks, the views and the opportunity to explore parts of Scotland - All of our expectations were delivered. The Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed apart from the lack of WiFi and mobile phone signal or even a land line for emergencies-that was the ONLY down point, but for us it was a minor point. The caretaker was helpful and friendly, we were made to feel welcome. The nearest village for food supplies was Braemar, about a 10 minute drive, but was a thriving community with a decent Co-Op and plenty of other shops. ##### Valerie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 23 Jun 2019 #### Excellent location with everything you need would highly recommend this to all.
