Great property just not for the disabled or elderly

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.

Highly recommended stunning cottage for large families

Two families stayed is this lovely home. It really is a home away from home. Very cosey. It is very safe for children indoors and outdoors. We were at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The location is great, just 10mins from Aviemore. Views are spectacular from most windows. Wild deer are seen regularly in the fields surrounding the house which young children loved spotting. We would stay here again without a doubt !
