Family-friendly holiday rentals in Aviemore

We stayed at Mackenzie House as part of a Hen weekend. The house was amazing and exactly what we needed! The surrounding area was gorgeous and we all loved being surrounded by the deer and other wildlife!

The Squirrel's is more than a home-from-home, not just that it is clean, comfortable and has everything you could need, but it add's that special something, and that is being in a peaceful, relaxing spot in the countryside of Aveimore. Sarah really has made the Squirrel's a place you can enjoy coming back to after a long day out - and actually, if you are not into walking or any of the other activities you can do in Aveimore - you can just sit back and relax in this wonderful home. It's only a short walk to all the restaurants and shops you could need, but nicely tucked away that you won't be bothered in the busy season.

Absolutely phenomenal find in the middle of nowhere. Stunning house, very clean, cute wee tea and coffee left for our first morning. The hot tub was warm, clean and in a fantastic location. What a great weekend we had. Thank you Nina 🩷

Balnacraig house is a great house in a beautiful location / we rented the property with another 3 couples as we were invited to a birthday party just down the road. So the location was perfect. It is a beautiful house well located with all facilities needed although we did not really have time to enjoy it. Linda was great to communicate with and we definitely would return again.

Had a lovely stay in the bothy and the location was perfect with a short walk into town! The bothy is fully equipped and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again!

Fantastic stay at Capo Farmhouse. Brilliant location, gorgeous house and a very helpful and very responsive to any questions or help that we required. We stayed for a special birthday and felt right at home and staying with Caroline made our special trip extra perfect.

The wee love nest was so cosy and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is like nothing I've seen before! Just such a beautiful place to be and nice little walks in the surrounding area. The hot tub was absolutely wonderful and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and easy to chat to! 100% will be back in the future!

I had an amazing stay!The place was stunning,extremely beautiful, quiet, and peaceful with breathtaking views. All the amenities were exactly as described, and everything was clean and comfortable. The small town nearby (just a 10-minute drive) was charming and convenient for anything I needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay. Lovely comfy beds and a really homely feel about the cottage. We seen a red squirrel in the garden and lots of stags just outside crossing the river. We had dinner at the Fife Arms just along thr road and had a lovely walk too. Lovely friendly host too. Thanks Team Barbarella Beets

What a beautiful, secluded spot. It was super cozy and private. The outdoor space out the back and balcony were particular highlights. Janet was v friendly and we appreciate her personal touch. Lots of outdoors and touristy things to do in and around Loch Ness. No Nessie sightings though :(

Simone & Tim were absolutely lovely, chatty and welcoming. The property was really beautiful, clean and perfect for our stay. Simone had provided some little extra touches which always makes a stay that little bit more special and warming. We had everything we needed and enjoyed a good nights sleep after spending the evening at a lovely local restaurant recommended by Simone. Thank you both for a lovely stay, we'd be sure to come again and add another night or two! Carla & Adrian xx

We had a great stay at the cottage; it’s remote and peaceful. The cottage was well-equipped and cosy. The conservatory is great for reading and relaxing and there is an amazing collection of DVDs! The surrounding area is beautiful and there are nice walks in the area. The nearest supermarket is in Aberfeldy, about 10 minutes away.

Lyn of Sheval Croft is a piece of heaven on Earth. It was incredibly charming inside and sitting in the dome in the evening watching the sunset was so peaceful. We loved watching the horses roam in the field behind the house. Jennifer was a great host giving us incredibly detailed instructions that made our stay seamless. She also provided fantastic recommendations for in home whiskey tasting by Steve and local in home meal delivery by Mac & Cat. We hope to make it back to Speyside and would absolutely stay here again!

Rock Cottage was a great ‘study camp’ for my daughter in the run-up to her exams. The house was immaculate and very much a home from home. The beds were very comfortable. The highlight, though, is outdoors - the wild garden is enchanting and full of bird life - we loved sitting in the sun room watching the swallows outside, followed by the bats at dusk. It’s in a very peaceful location but only a short drive to Kenmore or Aberfeldy for shops and restaurants. We’d love to be back!

Stags Place was a fantastic place to stay. It was cosy and comfortable and ideally placed for exploring Speyside and surrounding areas . Lucie was a great host and easy to contact if required. When I return to Scotland I would have no hesitation staying there again.

We had a fantastic experience at Hearthside Self-Catering Holiday House in Grantown on Spey. The accommodation was not only spotless and beautifully maintained, but also incredibly comfortable – the perfect blend of charm and practicality for a relaxing getaway with family. What really made our stay stand out, though, were the wonderful hosts, Libby and Donald. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and were always on hand whenever we needed anything. A special thanks to Donald, who came to our rescue when we were stuck in a difficult situation—his kindness and willingness to help made all the difference and turned a stressful moment into a manageable one. Their warmth and attentiveness truly enhanced our trip. Whether you’re looking to unwind or explore the surrounding area, this is the ideal base. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and would absolutely love to return! Highly recommended!

The staff on site and host were very responsive in all the messages. I love taking an evening walk around the lake where it’s peaceful and quiet. Thank you so much for hosting us.

Another wonderful stay here. Cozy, comfortable caravan with a beautiful, peaceful view. Spotlessly clean, great shower, comfy sofas, helpful hosts. Perfect for watching the world go by outside. Can't wait to return next year!

We had a lovely stay. The nature surrounding the property was beautiful and peaceful. The house itself was cozy and well equipped. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thats looking for a relaxing nature getaway.

Absolutely amazing property. Out of our 10 day stay in various establishments in Scotland, this was hands down our favorite. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at the old abbey - we felt a bit like Harry Potter at Hogwarts. The apartment was clean, well equipped and very spacious. The abbey's outdoor area is a dream and the pool is wonderful!

Absolutely magical! We loved our stay.

Truly “off grid” in the literal sense! It runs on batteries and a generator!! Despite it not having wifi we all had great 4G so never felt truly disconnected thankfully. It’s such a private place with literally nobody for a square mile or more probably. I would say in the winter you will need a 4x4 to access as it’s a mile down a dirt track! Amazing place and can’t wait to revisit :)

The Highland Club is extraordinary. Our host, Fernando, was exceptional! One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and always available if you need anything. The apartment was wonderful and felt like "home away from home." An easy walk over to the little shops, bars and cafes in Fort Augustus by the canal made the stay even better. Not to mention the proximity to The Boathouse restaurant... a fun little spot with great food! Not only is the apartment in a unique and fantastic location, the view of Loch Ness from the grounds is like nothing you've ever experienced - beautiful and tranquil, to say the least. A perfect "home base" to head out and experience other parts of the Highlands... like, Isle of Skye. WOW!!!!! Stay here! You won't regret it!!
