Can’t think of anything, maybe a checklist of all that is carried out before your arrival would be nice but that is coming from someone that has OCD.

We had a great time at The Shambles. It had everything and more than you needed. The BBQ hut was great, as was the hot tub. It was a really homely place to stay. We hope to return again

Only because we have twin toddlers…but the stair gate at the top was a pain, a hinged one would have been better and would have felt safer but understand why it’s the one that it is.

Fantastic stay at Nick and Erin’s place. The house was perfect for two families, and the hot tub and bbq hut were amazing. We would definitely visit again.

Just back from a fantastic family weekend at The Shambles. The Host’s were extremely helpful and when we realised the kettle wasn’t working we had a replacement in under 30 minutes. The accommodation is lovely, spacious and very well equipped. Aviemore town centre is only a short walk away from the Cottage which was perfect for going out for a family meal followed by a dip in the hot tub finished off with drinks in front of the beautiful log fire. We would have no hesitation re booking.

We had an amazing stay at the Shambles! The house was so cosy and welcoming and the hot tub and bbq hut kept us entertained all weekend. Loch Morlich is a must see and not far from the house.
Thanks to Nick & Erin for having us.
