Go Self Catered - Aviemore

We had the most amazing week in Silver Birch! Julia was so helpful with the booking and welcoming arrangements. The house is so well equipped for kids, dogs and adults! it was immaculately clean and fresh, with an amazing well equipped kitchen. There were lovely welcoming goodies such as shortbread, milk and wine! The cottage is perfectly located for an easy walk into Aviemore, and the ideal base for the area.
There is a lovely enclosed garden with outdoor kids toys.
Ticks all the boxes and more, will definitely be back!!

Just returned from a fabulous week at Silver Birch Cottage. We’ve been visiting Aviemore for 28yrs and this was by far the best self-catering cottage we’ve stayed in. Lovely accommodation, everything you need in the perfect location you can arrive and start to relax right away without any stress as everything is there you need. Lovely comfy bed with a fabulous shower in the en-suite. Garden was great to relax in the sun and knowing it was safe for the dogs. Enjoyed having the bbq too. Would highly recommend and would definitely be our first choice of accommodation in Aviemore!

We stayed at Silver Birch for a walking weekend in mid January and it was absolutely perfect.

Silver Birch Cottage is very nicely furnished, extremely comfortable and very clean. Its kitchen is fully equipped and is like a home from home with everything you might need. There is lots of storage space in the entrance hall to keep outdoor clothes & boots handy. There are many thoughtful touches including the Welcome Pack and plenty of logs. Keeping the place warm, clean and tidy during your stay is simplicity itself.

The bathrooms are lovely and it was particularly impressive to see hand towels in each bathroom which were extra to the towels provided! This is not a common experience with many accommodation providers.

There’s a great selection of books, maps, DVDs, board games etc. There’s also a very comprehensive guide to local places to eat and drink - invaluable!

Places to eat, bus stops, the railway station and plenty of shops are a 10 minute stroll. On the other hand, within 10 minutes, you can also walk out of Aviemore into the surrounding countryside. We’d seen a red squirrel a quarter of an hour after setting out on our first walk.

The friendly owners, Julia and Alexander are on hand if you need them. They are so thorough, and their information is so comprehensive, that you’re unlikely to need their help. They (or someone) even organised a great sunrise, visible from the front door!

All in all, a really comfortable cottage in a great location. Highly recommended!

Lovely and very well equipped cottage, we stayed a week in Blaeberry... lots of space and bike storage too. Nice location to wander into town and easy to do loads of activities, no worries having bored kids!. The walking and off road cycling in area is better than almost anywhere in Scotland. We loved our stay, beds were comfy, nice bathrooms and really clean too. We will be back... it was an excellent holiday!

Aviemore is a great location for an active family holiday and Manuka Cottage is the perfect place to stay. It’s spacious and spotless, and has everything you need: well-equipped kitchen, bike storage, garden games, fluffy towels and locally-made toiletries. Julia is the perfect host: thoughtful and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Just back from a great week at Silver Birch Cottage. Excellently positioned within a 5 minute stroll to the centre of Aviemore. It had everything and more than we needed, hosts were especially helpful and available if we required anything. This cottage was very clean, dog friendly with a great enclosed garden. Extra special touches too with milk, shortbread and dog treats on arrival. Would definitely recommend a stay here!! Thanks again Julia and Alexander.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blaeberry Cottage.

Cannot praise the cleanliness enough, every care and attention has been made to ensure that that the property was immaculate.

So well equipped for family breaks, my kids loved playing badminton and swingball in the garden. Also perfect for joining the cycle track, no need to go on any many roads, ideal for families.

Loved the little welcoming touches, shortbread, wine and chocolate for the kids...

Thank you so much for making our visit to Aviemore perfect, we would have no hesitation in recommending the cottage.

5 night stay in Silver Birch at end May/beginning of June. Excellent location just a few minutes walk into Aviemore centre a and very comfortable holiday cottage. Very well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break. Have stayed in one of Julia’s other cottages (Manuka) a few years back but this was our first stay in Silver Birch due to it being dog-friendly. Super friendly hosts too, lovely welcome and just all in all wonderful!
