We enjoyed very much our stay at Sneuk Head. The cottage was clean (not spotless đ, 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.
Just to say thanks to mike for a great few days at your property - wish it had been longer. Will definitely be back place was spotless and other than the jacuzzi bath not working, everything was perfect. Thank you
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
For the first few nights there were 4 adults, 4 children and a dog, the house was easily big enough for all of us. When one family left, the house seemed huge.
The location is peaceful but close enough to both Aviemore and Kingussie to enjoy their options.
There are a couple of dog-walking options and the scenery is brilliant.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a base to explore the surrounding areas.
Michael, the owner, has thought of almost everything for the house, including the supply of firewood for the log burning stove in the living room. The communications were superb and I will definitely be telling friends all about this wonderful place.
We had a lovely Easter break in this comfortable house. Well equipped property in a quiet village outwith the hubbub of Aviemore but with so many things to do close by to please our 3 generations. We enjoyed walks and cycles on the farm tracks from the back door. We visited the Insh Marshes RSPB Reserve, Highland Wildlife Park, Highland Folk Museum, Loch an Eilen, quirky cake shop at Inshriash, Loch Insh Watersports and Skiing, Leault Sheepdogs, Alvie Zip Trek, Rothiemurcus cycling, Loch Morlich and the Cairngorm Mountain Railway. Two tips: stop in the lay-by opposite the white church at Kincraig and from the path up to the kirk you get a great view of the Osprey nest on Loch Insh; if you're visiting in the next 3-4months there is no petrol station in Aviemore - nearest is Newtonmore or Grantown-on-Spey! Hope to be back and would highly recommend property to others.
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
Das Haus war sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Der Vermieter war sehr nett, hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. An- und Abreise sind flexibel und sehr einfach in der Handhabung. Das Haus liegt gut fĂŒr AusflĂŒge in die Highlands, nach Inverness ( ca.1 Stunde), Perth (1 Stunde) oder Edinburg und Glasgow ( jeweils ca. 2 Stundrn)
Ich und mein Mann waren mit unseren beiden Hunden 3 Wochen hier. Das Haus ist groĂ und gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet. Es gibt eigentlich alles was man braucht. Meinem Mann fehlte nur eine Kaffeemaschine :) Man hat alles was man braucht in der NĂ€he (SupermĂ€rkte, Restaurants, Bars, Shopping, AktivitĂ€ten). Der Nationalpark ist wunderschön und man hat viele Möglichkeiten zum Wandern. Das war unser Hauptgrund fĂŒr den Urlaub. Aber auch nach Glasgow oder Edinburgh war es nicht zu weit fĂŒr 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!
Der Aufenthalt war wunderbar. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet und es hat an nichts gefehlt.
FĂŒr AusflĂŒge 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 ĂŒbernehmen kleinerer Strecken.
Sehr empfehlenswert
Convenient location to visit the Lochs
And the national park
Family friendly house and neighbourhood, if travelling with kids and grandparents.
Very good facilities inside the house with downstairs bedroom with enusite and separate WC downstairs.
Location of the house and veiws are amazing.
Good wifi connectivity
Mike the owner always available for help and advice. Fantastic host. Thanks Mike.
Highly recommendable and will not hesitate to visit again .
It was a lovely spacious property in a fantastic location in the highlands .
It was a very comfortable spacious and well equipped house. We enjoyed our stay very much . Sadly our adult children could not be with us as expected but hope we can come again another time as a whole family .
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 wasnât any problem at all. I have planned to come for winter skiing.
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!
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.
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!
