Comfortable cottage in the Cairngorms

We enjoyed very much our stay at Sneuk Head. The cottage was clean (not spotless 😊, but clean), well equiped, and close to luxury as we were 3 so we had each a bathroom, though "only" 2 showers! On top of this, there are plenty of activities to do nearby, and the house is close to the A9 if you want to go further. The host was very responsive to the various questions we had and always very kind. All in all, we'd be very glad to come back there if we have another opportunity.

Schönes Haus in traumhafter Gegend

Ich und mein Mann waren mit unseren beiden Hunden 3 Wochen hier. Das Haus ist groß und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es gibt eigentlich alles was man braucht. Meinem Mann fehlte nur eine Kaffeemaschine :) Man hat alles was man braucht in der Nähe (Supermärkte, Restaurants, Bars, Shopping, Aktivitäten). Der Nationalpark ist wunderschön und man hat viele Möglichkeiten zum Wandern. Das war unser Hauptgrund für den Urlaub. Aber auch nach Glasgow oder Edinburgh war es nicht zu weit für einen Tagesausflug. Man wohnt wirklich sehr zentral, um auch mal die ein oder andere Ecke von Schottland zu erkunden. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

Urlaub in den Highlands

Der Aufenthalt war wunderbar. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Für Ausflüge ist es ideal gelegen, egal ob wandern am Loch an Eilean, SUP-Paddeln am Loch Morlich oder radeln entlang des Spey. Man benötigt allerdings ein Auto zur übernehmen kleinerer Strecken. Sehr empfehlenswert

Great choice!

My family and I stayed at Sneuk Head Kingussie, in the Cairngorms - Scottish Highlands. It was a fantastic choice. It was clean, well-maintained and had great access to nearby attractions. We were thrilled with the location and had a wonderful time exploring the stunning scenery of the Highlands. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, providing us with plenty of room to relax after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook meals during our stay, and the beds were comfortable and cozy. We also appreciated the attention to detail and the little touches that made the accommodation feel like a home away from home. Overall, I would highly recommend this Vrbo accommodation to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the Scottish Highlands. The combination of cleanliness, comfort, and excellent location make it a great choice for families, couples or solo travelers. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future

warm and welcoming

this is a well kept well maintained property there was lots of room for all the family, as described there was a beautiful view from the front of snow capped hills and a field of sheep from the back. The house seemed to have every thing we needed from a well stocked kitchen to toys and games for the kids. I also like the location, being just 15 minutes from Aviemore. All in all i would have no hesitation in recommending this property

Excellent place to live.

The Sneuk Head had been the perfect holiday house for my family. The property was in quite place with all necessary facilities. Manager was very easy to get in touch if there is any problems but there wasn’t any problem at all. I have planned to come for winter skiing.

Great property in a lovely location with a great owner.

We had a lovely trip. The house has character, located just off a farm. The property has everything you need and for 8 people(including young kids), we were impressed with the space and toilets available. You are already in a scenic setting and we spent time in the garden, however its so close to the A9 (without hearing it) its so handy. We had a small problem caused by irresponsible previous occupants but Mike rectified it straight away, was brilliant and communicating in general too. Couldn't recommend the owner, the property or the setting enough. Hope you enjoy your trip!

Family holiday

We had a wonderful holiday in Lynchat and found the property to be just what we required. 4 adults and 4 children were accommodated with room for all of us at the dining table which was lovely. Great access in and around the Cairngorm mountains. Kingussie within easy reach for shops and cafes and a variety of Lochs, Watersports, museums, book shops and animal reserves too. Plenty to do and see. A really special trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Braidwood

I am in my mid 40s and have two teenage children. I work in the Club / Sports sector. The main attraction for me buying a property in the Cairngorm National Park was due to enjoying a number of great family holidays in the area. There is so much to do and definitely something for everyone. The area is so beautiful and relaxing that I find it a great place to recharge my batteries!

Why they chose this property

I bought Sneuk Head in 2006 after experiencing many enjoyable family holidays in the Cairngorm National Park. At the time we lived over seas and used the house as a relaxing retreat and to allow my children to experience the great variety of outdoor activities on offer in the area. I used the house as a family home for one year when we returned to Scotland, it was great to live in the local area and learn more about what there is to do. Unfortunately work required me to move again so we now let the house to people looking to enjoy the local area.
As a family man who works in the Club and Sports industry I find the area a great place to relax and enjoy a variety of leisure pursuits.

What makes this property unique

The property feels remote, but it is very accessible being only 1 mile off the main highway (A9) and 1.5 miles from the small town of Kingussie which has a railway station.
Being in the centre of the Cairngorm National Park there is so much to do golf, skiing, cycling, walking, eating!, along with many heritage and cultural sites. The house over looks the Inch marshes which is a RSPA site so bird watching comes easily!
