Everything you need!
Loved the stay and wished we had planned a few more days. The accommodation provides everything that you need for a comfortable stay and the location is perfect for those seeking some peace and quiet yet accessibility to facilities like restaurants and points of interest in the Cairngorms. We really appreciated the clarity of information provided by Igloo and the hosts prior to and during our stay, making it worry free.
Bath supplies in satches are not easy to use and incongruous with the rest of the amenities. Please consider reusable bottles.
Cottage had everything you could possibly need and was very clean. Lots of hot water for showers and baths and the Arga kept whole cottage warm
Difficult to find, need better signage on road side
