Wonderful time at Boat of Garten!

The property was exactly as described with all amenities that one needs for such a stay. It was a pleasant one week stay at the holiday home. Very clean, organised and quiet environment. Had an issues with the heating of the holiday home as this was not working properly but at least it could be switched on manually. Other than that....a perfect stay!

Good basecamp

This is a good “roof over your head” if you’d like to explore the area (we went driving all over Scotland). It’s very small so better suited for a couple or maybe with a small child. Host was super friendly! For US visitors, this is like a small mobile home in a mobile home park dedicated to short term vacation rentals.

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 😁
