Guest Reviews
- Ionajohnston (9/5): Loved it. Scenery was stunning - Another couple arrived at the same time and both properties had keys in the door. They were going in to our house. I showed them our email and we got it sorted.
- Maria (7/5): Stunning location, facilities could be improved - The view from the property was stunning! Sitting on the picnic table outside looking over the view first thing in the morning was excellent. The beds were also comfortable and we both slept well. The host had also very thoughtfully provided a jug of fresh milk in the fridge on arrival, which was very thoughtful. The place was nice and clean when we arrived. The fact that it wasn’t fully carpeted like most places in the UK was also a positive. Host was lovely! Arrival was very easy as the host left the keys in the door for us- couldn’t be easier! Overall layout of the place is perfect for two people. The shower was very weak, which means it took a long time to wash your hair or really any soap off. The place was also cold when we arrived, which ai appreciate is for energy saving but it would be nice if it were warm upon arrival. It would have been absolutely excellent if there was a coffee machine (rather than just instant coffee). The kettle should likely be replaced as it sounds like it’s exploding whenever we used it.
- HUGH (10/5): -
- Pat (10/5): A very comfortable overnight stay - Location was so scenic Maybe fewer potholes on the approach track
- Samuel (10/5): Lovely cottage perfect to get away from it all, but still central for Speyside whisky tasting. -
- Zoe (10/5): - Lovely place to stay, would definitely recommend. Amazing views, great location. Cottage has everything you need and very comfy beds! Great communication from the host.
- Vasana (10/5): - Having coffee with the cows across the fence and with views of the valley below was a beautiful experience.
- Erik (8/5): Nice rural cottage near Dufftown - Nice view, good beds, kind owner,.good facilities Taxi's were hard to get. You should always book in advance apparently.
- Jessica (10/5): -
- Wendy (9/5): -
- van der Made (9/5): Toplocatie - Prachtige locatie De weg ernaar toe is erg slecht. De eigenaresse niet gezien. Alleen telefonisch toen de stroom uit was gevallen. Zelf moeten bellen.
- Thomas (10/5): Einfach mal Abschalten und Aussicht geniessen - Klein aber fein. Wurden im voraus durch die Gastgeberin via Chat über die Anreise tiptop informiert. Alles was man an Verpflegung braucht, unbedingt selber mitbringen (oder Restaurant im Ort besuchen, Fahrzeit ca. 10 min). Die Aussicht über's freie Land ist unbeschreiblich. Zimmer eher klein, aber genügen, auch für mehrere Nächte. Wer sich die englischen Türen nicht gewohnt ist: zum Schliessen Türgriff nach oben ziehen. Zwischenzeitlich haben wir den "Dreh" raus. Wer Action sucht, ist auf dieser Anhöhe falsch, hier herrscht Ruhe und "Weitsicht". Wir fanden keine Live-TV-Sender (dafür war Netflix möglich).

Good Walkers biscuits. No washing machine as stated then told it was no longer on the listing as there was a water shortage! It was still on the listing. Host did offer to do the washing in her machine which was nice, but that is not how we like to operate.
Shower operations and pressure not good.
- Shelley (8/5): Super tranquil - Incredible view and well equipped cottage.
Good WiFi and parking area.
Ruth, the host, is lovely. -
- Katrin (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy Cottage, views on the hills, cows behind the garden.
- Donald (10/5): Excellent overnight stay in Dufftown. - My overnight stay at Broomhead Cottage, Dufftown was absolutely delightful and exceeded all expectations!
I arrived after a busy day working in the local area, and the cottage was the perfect tranquil haven to unwind.
Despite being a short visit, I immediately appreciated the warmth and comfort of the cottage. It was spotlessly clean and felt incredibly inviting.
The bed was wonderfully comfortable, I had a fantastic night's sleep – exactly what was needed after a busy day.
I especially loved the little touches that made it feel so homely. And the excellent fully equipped Kitchen for cooking.
The location is truly special. Nestled away with fantastic views over Dufftown and the Fiddich Valley, it offered a peaceful escape while still being a very convenient drive into town for shops / restaurants etc. Watching the sunset over the hills from the cottage was a real highlight.
Communication with the host, was excellent from booking to departure, making the check-in process incredibly smooth.
Broomhead Cottage is a real gem. Whether for a quick overnight stop or a longer stay, I wholeheartedly recommend it for its comfort, cleanliness, stunning location, and the general feeling of being a true home away from home. I'll definitely be back!
- Shane (9/5): Great spot - Beautiful place. Great views. Nice setup Drive in was a bit tight/rough.
- Joanne (8/5): Fab location, great host and perfect stay! - All very comfortable and location was great. Ruth was fabulous with helping us organise taxis to the Macallan distillery for dinner, which was spectacular.
- Dennis (10/5): Exceptional - The best host I have ever had and a very nice cottage. This is your perfect starting point for a visit to Speyside.
- Nicky (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous cosy cottage with stunning views. Very tastefully decorated and great for exploring the Speyside Distilleries. Should have stayed there longer.
- Rice (8/5): Great cottage with great views down into Dufftown and countryside - Location was beautiful and lovely (but hilly) walk into Dufftown

- Gordon (9/5): Ideal accommodation for visiting the local Dufftown area and beyond. Highly recommended -
- Bluevale (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chrissie (8/5): Very good - The cottage was small and comfortable, very clean throughout. Lovely back garden and scenery of the hills. Steep hill to get to get to cottage, but lucky the weather was on our side.
- Deepti (1/5): Bad - Beautiful views in the morning outside in the patio. The room I was provided with had rats. We requested the owner to move us to a different room. Good thing is she promptly responded to the request and moved us to a room which did not have rats. But just made us think why that room was allotted to us in the first place and seems like she was aware of this problem. The property is set on a hill top so be mindful of that and thats the only property there.
- Antea (9/5): lovely stay - lovely cottage, very peaceful took a while to get there as the road on one side was closed.
- Szabolcs (9/5): A beautiful cottage in the Highland hills where time feels slowing down - The mood of the place is just perfect. The serenity and tranquility of the surroundings perfectly reflected in the cottage. Couldn't think of a better place to unwind and slow down and/or start your trips in the highlands. The shower. It is one of those flow through electric heaters
The floor. It was cold, we were going from rug to rug.
- Megan (10/5): Beautiful cottage and wonderful host! - Such a beautiful cottage, so comfortable and well maintained. It was like home from home having a fully equipped kitchen to prepare & enjoy meals. Thank you for being such a wonderful host, Ruth. Impossible to find fault.
