Perfect Homestay

9 of us booked for a stag do in May. For me, the accommodation was perfect. Plenty of rooms, activities and facilities were top. Amazing views in a quiet and peaceful area. Definitely will book this again in the future. Hard to find anything in all honesty. Faultless in all our opinions.

Fabulous plac!

Such a brilliant home for a family weekend away. 10 of us gathered to celebrate a special birthday and had such a lovely time. The home has such a lovely atmosphere. Just noticed that the shower in upstairs en-suite maybe needs resealed. It wasn’t a problem at all for us but just to flag!

A home away from home

We stayed in the Carriden for the weekend. The house is beautifully presented with lots of charm and character. It is well located in the village of Insh. There are plenty of walks around the area. It’s just a 5-10 minutes drive to the Insh loch where there are plenty of water sports to choose from. The whole family enjoyed staying at Carriden. Our little spaniel spent the whole weekend happily running around in the garden. -
