Its difficult to recommend the property, as it was quite worn in many places, but offered moderate value for money overall.
The cleaning of the property needs improvement, as we had to clean rancid milk from the fridge on arrival, which was pretty unreasonable as a starting point, and bathrooms and ither areas were worn and not particulalrly clean.
The towels provided were worn, the bathrooms and fitting were old and somewhat dilapidated in areas. Radiators in some areas of the house didnt function while others overheated some rooms, a leaking window just had a jug under it to catch water, many of the doors had warped and didnt close any more.
For the money we paid it was ok, but a little bit of work, some care, some thought about guests, some cleaning etc would all help here.
The house is really big and spacious. The large round table in the diningroom is very nice. The kitchen is well equiped. We liked the fireplace. The house is near the A9, but you don't hear any traffic. It has a good location if you want yo visit Inverness, Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Fort Augustus, Fort William, climb the Ben Nevis, take the (Harry Potter!) train to Mallaig, feed alpacas or taste whiskey at Dalwhinnie.
The house needs some tlc; fix some broken tiles and give it some paint. There are 4 bathrooms, but only one normal shower. It would be best if one of the bathrooms (prefably the one next to the showerbathroom) is turned into a normal shower.
A large (Aldi) supermarket can be found in Aviemore (20 minute drive).
We had a great week at Nuide House, perfect location for exploring and hiking in the Cairngorms. Plenty of space and ideal when travelling with dogs. The exceptional good weather made the trip extra special.
Large and could easily cope with 10 people. Some of the rooms were very impressive, but some of the rooms did look a bit tired. Beds were comfortable and the grounds were great for the kids to keep themselves busy. Very quiet and great views, and an amazing star show on clear night.
Lovely house but needs a bit of TLC. Boiler broke down at the end of our holiday, no bit deal regarding the heating but the hot water also went off, so we had to boil the kettle for a day. Beautiful location, lots of wildlife to see. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.
Probably a little dated but donât let that put you off.. excellent space for 2 families with teenagers.. great location for days out to Aviemore and surrounding area and evenings in front of the log fire .. đđđđ
The property is great in terms of location for our walking holiday. We spent a lot of time outdoors as the weather was glorious. The house is very spacious and the view from the bedrooms beautiful. There is a nearby farm with sheep. The house decoration and fittings are a bit dated but it didn't matter much for our short stay. The owners were very friendly and fixed the WiFi issues we encountered.
This is a great house if youâre a large party, itâs very clean with plenty of space for everyone to loose themselves is required, there is loads of outdoors space for ball games and the house is only 5 minutes drive from Newtonmore, if I was to find fault I would say the advertised Sky isnât Sky itâs just freeview and the Wi-fi is next to useless with more than a couple of people on it , apart from that all is good,
Great holiday in a brilliant property. Loads of space for the children and three families.

Had a lovely week at a Nuide House in July 2019. There was plenty of room for our extended family of 5 adults and 4 children. Easy access to everything the Cairngorms have to offer. Very traditional property in a rural setting set out over 3 floors. Very relaxing.
Nuide is a huge and characterful place. Very well equipped for guests. Outstanding mountain views with easy access to Aviemore area. I can't recommend highly enough.
House is large and rambling with lots of character.
Lounge has lots of sofas to sink into, an open fireplace and wifi.
The kitchen has had some superficial updating done but is in desperate need of a new range (the current one is falling to pieces and has an oven which takes an hour to heat up) and some curating of contents (too much in the drawers etc. including broken appliances) on the plus side there is a Tassimo coffee machine and milk frother!
Bedrooms are equipped with comfortable beds and nice bedding and some even have fine original art on the walls depicting highland scenes (not sure why this isn't downstairs in the common areas instead of prints from a France etc.)
Bathrooms could all do with modernizing but they are clean and with seemingly endless hot water.
The washing machine is newer and works well and with good weather we never needed to use the dryer function.
This is a farmhouse on a working farm and could really do with a few cats on patrol, although this is obviously tricky for a rental property!
That being said, the house was as expected, the photos represent it well and we had a great stay there!
We enjoyed our stay at this glorious house in Newtonmore. Fabulous location and plenty of space around for the kids to play. We had a great time. House is comfortable and pleasant, it was great for a large number of people. A lovely spacious home for a week.
We had a lovely time at Nuide House. The beds were all very comfortable, the kitchen had ever peice of crockery/cookware we could possibly want. Every room was beautiful and tastefully decorated. The location was serene. I highly recommend this location for any family looking for all the comforts of home, along with ample peace and quiet.
