This is the most well equipped property that we have stayed in - we've stayed in many over the years both in the UK and abroad. We had a party of 8 staying plus my brother & 3 kids came up to see us. No problem with plates, cutlery, pans etc... tons of them.
The house itself is spacious. The back room downstairs has an additional sofa bed and en-suite bathroom so it could probably house 10 no problem.
Grounds are lovely... including a summer house and games room - which the kids took full advantage of when I stopped them playing on the WII and their phones!
Ok it's a trek to take the bins down & back to the end of the road but not really a problem :o)
The wood burning stove in the living room was great (my wife is Chinese and suffers from the cold - even when I think it's hot!).
Supermarkets and restaurants handy in Aviemore and Grantown.
Weather was really good. In fact maybe too hot the day we went to the Grantown Highland Games but we coped!
All in all I'm struggling to find any faults at all ;o) Oh I know... the kids complained that they didn't see the Loch Ness Monster (even though we searched for it)!!
Wonderful holiday!!

1 review Stayed in the house for a weekend away with friends for another friends wedding. House was great, very comfortable and a lot bigger than it looks. Had everything we wanted and more. Jacqui, the owner, was lovely, very helpful and tried her very best to answer any questions or deal with any issues that we had, would definitely go back!!

1 review Delighted with our stay at Balvattan from start to finish. The house was clean and warm with a beautiful kitchen, bed linen, towels and many little amenities to set you on your way for a great stay. We slept 10 here very comfortably, had a bbq and stayed cosy with the log burning stove. Easy to access and with ample parking. Cannot fault this house, all of my friends and I rate it 10/10 and that's not easy with a large group of girls.

1 review Balvattan has a delightful Scottish themed interior and is one of the most well equipped holiday cottages we have stayed in. We particularly enjoyed the large,bright kitchen and two separate lounges for adults and children.
