Summary: Wow, what a place to stay! The house was very spacious and fitted our party of 6 adults with ease, making it a home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed and its size allowed us to cater for everyone, including allergies without a worry. The front room is cosy and lighting the fire just added more warmth to an already relaxing area. Beds were extremely comfortable and everyone slept very well, there was ample storage for clothes in each room. The views around the whole property are stunning, with several people in our party, getting up early to watch the sunrise over the mountains and the hot tub offered welcome relief and relaxation following days exploring the beautiful scenery in Scotland. There were 6 adults in the party, however the overall travelling party was 23, all of whom we entertained at the Farmhouse for an early Easter get together, with everyone commenting on how lovely the property is. Balvattan Farmhouse location is perfect, close to Aviemore Town, but not too far away either and good, quick access to shops, butchers etc. We have already booked for next year.

Summary: Our 2nd visit with my family to the farmhouse over new year. Loved our stay. Thank you for making it so festive looking too. Great kitchen for making meals. It's so well equipped as well. Our grandchildren enjoyed sledging building snowmen and being in the hot tub. A lot of lovely memories made. Looking forward to booking with you again soon.

Summary: We had the best stay at Balvattan Farmhouse. The house is beautiful and extremely well equipped, it had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. A real home away from home! There was a minor issue with the central heating, however, both the owner and GNL were in touch to advise me about. The owner had also gone out of his way to organise portable radiators until the following day when an engineer came promptly. This was handled really well by both the owner and GNL and did not impact our stay at all. We will 100% return to Balvattan.

Summary: Good layout of both house and gardens giving plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. One small drawback was with the oven which had a damaged door. We raised this with the Great North Lodges upon arrival and were advised that the oven is scheduled for replacement. A prompt response - full credit to them.

Summary: We, two families, had a very nice stay at Balvattan Farmhouse. Everything is furnished with great attention to detail. It offers plenty of space and places to retreat for everyone. We loved preparing our food in the large kitchen and having food with an amazing view. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in a beautiful landscape. Our highlight was the hot tub in the garden. That was a great experience. A hot bath with a spectacular view. We would recommend the Balvattan Farmhouse. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Summary: We had a rather large group (10) and everyone was comfortable. The ground-floor suite was especially nice for my elderly father, as the stairs were challenging for him. The place is a nice mix of rustic (I've never seen a wood-burning hot tub before) and modern (great kitchen!). We had a couple of dumb questions, like how to control the electric for the upstairs shower, which the host was friendly about and responsive to via WhatsApp. All-in-all, a great vacation home!

Summary: An excellent house for a largish group ie 10 people. Beautiful, convenient location with pleasant garden with loads of seats and a super view of the Cairngorms. Kitchen great to cook in with lots of gear. Suggest owners sharpen knives regularly and buy new bowls, too many with worn glaze. Otherwise perfect. GNLs provided excellent and responsive customer service. Note the details say parking for 3 cars. We had 5 cars including 3 SUVs and found parking no problem.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Balvattan Farmhouse with all the family. The house is full of traditional character and includes an extremely well equipped contemporary kitchen. Home from home! The views from the house and surrounding grounds are spectacular. The garden is ideal for both adults and children. We have ventured over the years to this part of our beautiful country for both summer & winter holidays and this was an ideal peaceful retreat from where we were able to explore further the surrounding area. Adults and children alike would all highly recommend Balvattan Farmhouse and our thanks for a wonderful stay.

Summary: Stayed at Batvattan for 1 week. Place was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. My only issue was the showers which as an elderly partial amputee would benefit from non slip mats and grab rails. Transport is needed from this location. Generally speaking we had a pleasant experience.

Summary: A wonderful homely house and beautifuly decorated with Christmas decorations. We relaxed as soon as we entered the house it has lots of space for the grandchildren to play too. What an amazing dream kitchen It was fully equipped for cooking our large family meal at new year. Thankyou for letting us stay we definitely want to book up again for next year.
