Highland jaunt with the Fam…
Loved Cairn Toul! Perfect base camp for all our Highland excursions. Day trips to Thuron, Stirling, Speyside distilleries, St Andrew’s, and Edinburgh. Cooked supper each night in the kitchen. Hostess (Fiona) was attentive and speedy in response to questions. What a treat!

Ideal small property for a break in the Cairngorm National Park
The property was clean, nicely equipped and comfortable. A quiet spot when we were there. We would have liked a casserole dish to cook casserole and dumplings! I bought one from Home Bargains and gave it to our son.

Really enjoyed the peace and quietness and plenty to see around there.
Good Just the cutters need cleaning so that when it rains the water will run down the pipes and not over, but if no one tells the owner this they won’t know to get someone to come clean them. So my stay was great otherwise, would definitely do it again.

Lovely caravan in great location
Straightforward to rent this caravan and the instructions for arrival and finding it were provided promptly and were also easy to follow. Boat of Garten is a lovely place to stay and the caravan park is easy to find and handy for amenities. The caravan itself was spacious enough to fit a travel cot in the main bedroom and the twin room was perfect for our older child. Everything was neat and tidy and the smart TV also good for watching apps (iPlayer, Amazon Prime). A great place to stay for a short break.

Fantastic Caravan
Really nice caravan in a nice quiet site caravan site isn't the greatest as there is no shop and a very disappointing play park but it was nice and quiet with a good view so probably better suited to older people. 100% will be back, the caravan leaves you wanting for nowt, very homely. Huge thanks to the owners for making our stay so pleasant 😁

Nice lodge, lovely area
If I was going to be really picky I would complain about the lack of Wi-fi and mobile phone signal. But that’s not really something they have control over and if you’re looking to get off the grid for a few days then it’s ideal.

Lovely place
We had a great little break, the caravan was very spacious very comfortable and every detail was catered for excellently the kids loved the selection of books, dvds and games and the selection of films for adults was great aswell. The caravan was equipped very well. We arrived slightly early and the cleaners hadn't been in yet so we popped down to the local restaurant for a quick bite to eat to allow the property to be given the once over. When we gained access at around 4.30pm we found that the standard of the clean up was particularly poor there were dog hairs everywhere on sofas and the carpet area when we sat on the sofa we got covered in little grey dog hairs this was disappointing. Then my daughter found a dirty t-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts that had a particularly unwelcome stain on them on the floor of the wardrobe as she put away her clothes. I gave the benefit of the doubt to the cleaners as we did arrive a bit sharp but really that should have been noticed. Other than those 2 issues the caravan was great and we would definitely stay in it again. We do love the area so much and have had a few great trips to boat of garten and aviemore area the holiday park is lovely and very quiet and makes for a great peaceful break away we will be returning again very soon !!

Fantastic Caravan
Booking the caravan was an easy process and everything described was accurate. The caravan was very clean and modern with everything included to allow for a great family holiday. We would definitely book this caravan again as it provided a good base to explore the Aviemore area.
