The only parking on the trip that was not a pain, you would think an Volvo XC was a tank in the rest of Scotland. A little off the beaten path which we were looking for. Quiet, beautiful grounds, had a chat with the gardener and it showed that he loved his work. Not for the crowd that needs all the bells and whistles. Just a beautiful country home.

Short break during the Speyside Whisky Festival
Host Colin made us feel welcome straight away and was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Guest rooms have everything you'd need for a short break, The rate included a lovely freshly cooked breakfast with plenty of choices and a homemade granola and berry compote to start with, fresh pots of coffee and toast. The House is a short 15-minute drive to a number of small towns nearby with pubs and restaurants.

Amazing Cottage Stay
We had a wonderful stay at the Cardhu Cottage House! The room was very comfortable and the mattress perfect for a good night sleep! The breakfast was delicious and the French press coffee an extra bonus(a good cup of coffee so scarce in Scotland)! Colin and Sara were perfect hosts, very knowledgeable of the area and so friendly!! I highly recommend this place! It is very conveniently located to the many attractions in the area!!

Our stay at this place was wonderful. Colin and Sarah are the best hosts, gave us plenty of tips, even brought out their laptop to help us figure out the best route for the next leg of our trip. They also helped us with reservations, always with the best attitude. The place itself if so charming, rooms are specious, beds are comfortable, bathroom is large and modern, breakfast was delicious and getting there was easy. Excellent all around.
