    “Our 2cd visit to Burnside.”

    So well equipped. Comfortable and homely enough. We arrived to a lovely bottle of wine, appreciated the touch. Again we had a few small issues with general cleanliness however these issues did not impact our stay. We needed to contact the cleaning team for one of the issues and she was amazing.

    So well equipped. Comfortable and homely enough. We arrived to a lovely bottle of wine, appreciated the touch. Again we had a few small issues with general cleanliness however these issues did not impact our stay. We needed to contact the cleaning team for one of the issues and she was amazing. Arrived when she said she would and helped us with our issue. Great powerful showers with lots of hot water. Good Tv with basic Sky and Now Tv. Theres a Wii and games for kids. Our dog loved the secure garden which has plenty room to run around. There is a whirly gig at the patio area which has a big BBQ, table and chairs. The latch on the gate was very difficult to work, think gate has dropped and this has made the latch very stiff. There are fantastic forest walks from the door. House is located in a very quiet area with fab views from the windows. Great area with so much to see and do. We had such a good week and enjoyed all the house offered. Lots of places to eat out. We found the Nethy Bridge hotel especially yummy. Happy holiday to us

    - Martin, September 2025

    Martin can you tell us why the accuracy of the listing was 25 out of 100 ? I find that particular element of the review very inaccurate having already stayed at the house and knowing what it offers. The house is exactly as described in the Sykes website. I spoke to the cleaning team and understand you needed help emptying the hoover bag? There are spares in the house where the hoover is kept. Property Owner

The property

Located on the North West edge of the Cairngorms National Park, in the town of Aviemore, is this charming detached cottage, Burnside House.

This property is wonderfully placed in the Scottish Highlands and is less than an hour's drive away from the bustling city of Inverness, a real hot spot for tourists and locals alike.

Ideal for pet lovers as there's a dog kennel with the house, you can bring up to two well-behaved dogs with you to explore the natural beauty surrounding the property, particularly its close proximity to a nearby mountain stream.

Hang your coats on the hooks by the front door and be welcomed into a spacious hallway, leading off towards a sitting area.

Look forward to unwinding in the bright and airy living space with plush leather sofas for sinking into with a glass of wine in hand and benefitting from that essential woodburning stove adding to the homely effect of the space.

Walk through to the open-plan kitchen/diner with all the necessary appliances needed to cook up some delicious meals, and the benefit of a dishwasher so you don't have to wash up yourself.

Choose to gather at the dining table with your meals and break open a bottle of champagne to celebrate a wonderful holiday break.

The first floor comes with the choice of a king-size, double and twin bedroom, each presenting a range of modern furnishings for storing your personal belongings.

All bedrooms have their own TVs for those early morning shows without having to leave the comfort of the covers, and the master bedroom has its own en-suite shower room.

The family bathroom benefits from an elegant bath and shower cubicle so you can choose how best to prepare for your day.

From the living room, there are French doors which open out to a stunning enclosed garden, equipped with lawn and patio areas for dining alfresco during the summer months with the provided charcoal barbecue.

The town of Aviemore is rich with pubs and restaurants if you don't fancy cooking one evening, whilst also offering a choice of shops and supermarkets for all of your amenities.

Discover a range of trails for walking or cycling on Craigellachie Hill and tour the length of its nature reserve and spot an abundance of wildlife along the way.

Choose to explore places such as Loch Morlich, Loch an Eilean and the Green Loch for a mixture of historical castles, white sandy beaches and water sporting opportunities; something to suit all types of guests.

Further afield is the charming city of Inverness, which comes with a wide-range of tourist attractions such as the riverside Inverness Castle, the Victorian Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and so much more.

Burnside House is the ultimate attraction for families seeking to explore this wonderful part of the Scottish Highlands.
