Arrived at night but once we followed the detailed instructions, we were able to get checked in quickly.

Stayed in August 2025

The location is a bit different to find at the first time to check in

The entire house was left with lights on, so it's quite nice to see at the late check in

No wi-fi. Smell of drains outside of the property. We had power outage after the storm continuing for almost 24 hours, and nobody from the staff contacted us to check if we needed something.

Peaceful and quiet place, the Silver Birch cottage is well equipped by most necessary kitchen appliances. We had warm water running from the tab even during power outage.

Instantly, as we arrived, we noticed that the tv was purely perfunctory. There was no internet for Netflix and some such, but the regular programming and cable didn’t work either. That was not the worst issue we encountered during our stay. As we arrived one day at approximately 7 in the evening, we discovered that a hurricane cut off our power completely. We couldn’t call anyone, there was no internet connection. I reached the main road and managed to try to call the staff. Nobody answered on the phone. The office was empty. Nobody messaged us at all. Some locals helped us find the relevant reports by the electricity services, and one of the houses we rented still had some hot water in it, which was good. But without assistance, we could not turn our hot water on at all, and we didn’t have anyone to explain the situation and if there could be anything done with the house.

The property was great. It was not very clean in terms of mould and cobwebs, but there were plenty of amenities, such as board games and dishes to make up for that.

The induction hob was not great , probably it has done its life or might be some technical issue, it use to go full power for 10-20 sec and then cut off after that , either you wait for 10 sec approx for it to auto trigger or restart that particular hob again. Cooking an egg etc was an issue and it took lot of time and still undone. This was the only feature which was slightly disappointing other than that there was no wifi, ( i did not expected there to have wifi on a mountain top) , we all had our phones powered with unlimited internet so wifi was not an issue.

Location was great, a cottage on top of a mountain with a private road, you cannot complain. Spacious property for at least 6 people. Good size kitchen and a separate utility room.

The kitchen needs a deep clean. Currently and utensils were dirty had to wash everything before use.

The property was big and had everything you needed.

It need an outside light at the front door because of the steps

It’s nice and private

Unfortunately the view out back was dreadful! Felt like we were sleeping in a construction yard. Extremely disappointed. Property was clean on the surface but not professionally done. Windows are filthy, skirtings not cleaned and spiderwebs on the lamps. The water pressure definitely needs looked at and general maintenance needs to be addressed (floor bows as you walk on it, shower needs fix - only usable if you are 4ft tall, kitchen needs TLC and garden needs sorted). Whilst there was no WiFi advertised, we were still disappointed to find no WiFi on site! There is a TV but it’s for show as you can’t connect to Netflix, etc. with no WiFi

Great location, although over 6 miles away from Loch Ness so to call it BCC Loch Ness is a bit of a stretch. That said the view out front is amazing. The bed is amazing! Firm and comfortable. The property is spacious for a family of 4 and ample parking.

The bathrooms/cupboards were very mouldy.

We were able to book this property last minute as we had a last minute cancellation at another property. It was a very reasonable price and very spacious.

More utensiles in the kitchen.

No inside table or breakfast bar. One bed was very uncomfortable. Scanty signage helping us to find the cottage. Quite far from the town. Found a laundry there but nowhere to hang damp washing on return. We were there for 3 days after travelling for a week.

Views were amazing. Very roomy property. Comfy seating area and kitchen facilities. Excellent for one overnight stay.

We absolutely loved your cottage

The cottage needs some TLC. For example there is a large crack around the bath tub and the mattress on the main bed was very worn.

The cottage was very nice. It was warm and the dinning room furniture was nice. The kitchen was a good size and had everything we needed.

The kitchen wasn't well equipped and the frying pan was very burnt. The dining table felt a bit tacky to touch. There was no fenced enclosure around the property so we couldn't let the dogs out. The drive up to the cottage was really steep and dark so walking the dogs last thing at night was a bit tricky.

It was a good location for what we wanted to do in the area - There is a Bronze age grave and RSPB reserve just down the road which was fab. The cottage was roomy and nicely furnished. It was warm and cosey and the heating was set to come on which was nice and welcoming after a long day out. The bed was warm and comfortable and spacious. We were allowed to bring our dogs. The cottage was very clean except for the table. The shower was good and hot.

Great location, very spacious and comfortable.

TV did not work. More pillows would have been good. Entrance track needs re-grading, some very large potholes.

Location and layout.

Stayed in August 2024

Cleanliness - bed linen didn't feel clean, there were other people's hair on the pillows Facilities - cutlery was not very clean, the pans were oily. Although this was supposed to be a self-catering cottage, there was not a pinch of salt, pepper, or oil in the house. There was a washing machine but no washing powder.

The house is big and spacious, hard-wood floor and the nature around it is great. There is a fridge and hot-water kettle as well as a Tassimo coffee machine.

Need to maintain cleanliness

Location is very good and the amenities are excellent.

Stayed in July 2024

It was not clean at all. Dirty floors, fridge smelled and was dirty, dirty pillows in the wardrobe, someone else’s clothes still in the chest of drawers, thick dust along the skirting boards, dirty kitchen cupboards inside and a cupboard with a child’s travel cot in it that is thick with mould up the walls and a health hazard.

The location was lovely and the quietness.

Stayed in June 2024

Floors were creaky and noisy. The heating was cooler than we liked, we called the owner but were not able to adjust. No spare pillows or blankets.

Separate lounge to bedrooms.
