Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Badenoch is the place to be!
The most beautiful house in a stunning location, perfect for a family get together. Different ‘wings’ of the house meant that there was plenty of space, but the communal areas were equipped for all of us- we could dine together and sit by the fire together. Just wonderful. Special mention of the kitchen, the best equipped I’ve ever stayed in- beyond impressed. And the host was so helpful answering questions before our arrival, which made everything seamless for our visitors from abroad. Look no further, this is the one to book!

Perfect
Our second visit to this house . Perfect for large groups with everything you need . Plenty to do on the doorstep and within short driving distance. A fun house , you will not be disappointed. Even if the weather is not kind there is plenty to occupy the younger members . A great party house .

Perfect House for large groups looking for access to lots of Activities
I've stayed at Badenoch 4 times now, most recently to celebrate my 40th with 13 of my friends. The house has everything you could need, great access to amenities, activities and enough space, even for 14 adults! Always clean, comfortable and an extremely well equipped Kitchen. Aviemore is only a 15 min drive, where you have access to a massive array of activities. I cant recommend Badenoch highly enough.

Perfect place for a great get together with family and friends
Badenoch House is full of character, welcoming, comfortable, cosy and spacious - lots of space for 17 people. It has lovely grounds (with a fire pit) and the local shops are within a short walk. Each of our guests (aged 7 to 70) enjoyed their stay (our dog did too!). It's absolutely the perfect venue to celebrate a big birthday. This was my second stay at Badenoch House, but it won't be my last.

Great house
Plenty of rooms, clean and tidy. Great area, easy access in and out. Had no issues at all. The pictures on the advert for this house don’t do it justice.

50th Birthday Weekend
We stayed as a group of 14 to celebrate my 50th Birthday and had a fantastic time. The house is huge and the rooms also huge, so we had plenty of space. The house is so well equipped, particularly the kitchen with everything you could possibly need. The house sits in a large plot, giving us plenty of outside space and also took advantage of the fire pit in the evening. Yvonne was super helpful throughout and quick to respond. In short, we loved our weekend stay at this fabulous house and would not hesitate to recommend and also return. Thanks!!

Super gezellig huis, met alles erop en eraan!
Goed verzorgde woning met vrij uitzicht , keuken zeer compleet met heel veel pannen, bestek, servies, vaatwasser en niet te vergeten een prachtig gasfornuis met drie ovens en een grill. Een aparte, mooie eetkamer met voldoende ruimte voor de gehele groep. Alle slaapkamers waren behoorlijk groot en gaven en gezellige indruk. De aparte ruimte met pooltafel en voetbaltafel zijn veelvuldig gebruikt. De houtkachel bijna iedere avond aangestoken. Er zijn bovendien veel spelletjes en boeken in het huis aanwezig. We hebben werkelijk nergens aan misgegrepen. Wat fijn was, dat de supermarkt heel dichtbij is. Kortom een echte aanrader.

Beautiful property: welcoming, homely, cozy, and incredibly spacious.
A short walk away from Newtonmore Main Street, this stunning house enjoys beautiful views of the Highlands with easy access to numerous walks. It's hard to put into words how welcoming and homely and warm and cozy the house felt as soon as we opened the door. It is simply stunning and as we explored all the rooms we were amazed at how much thought had gone into ensuring we would feel welcome. From fresh flowers, to fresh fruit, to milk in the fridge, not forgetting the plentiful supply of logs for the wood burner, and numerous bath towels for everyone in our party, all our needs were catered for. We simply could not have wished for a better venue to spend a long weekend with our friends. We are already planning a return visit!

About the neighbourhood
The Area of Badenoch and Strathspey makes up the western half of the Cairngorms National Park - the largest national park in Britain. Within the area are a host of attractions from the Steam Railway between Aviemore and Broomhill to the Cairngorm Funicular Railway and Britain's only Reindeer Centre. The world-renowned outdoor Highland Folk Museum in Newtonmore relates the history of the Highlander in a graphic and entertaining way and offers free admission. Kids and adults alike can spend many hours wandering this fascinating glimpse of life through many centuries. Newtonmore has its Highland Games every year on the first Saturday in August. A great day out for all the family. Games are held throughout the Highlands during the summer months. At the same venue - The Eilan - you can see our championship Newtonmore shinty team playing at home, if you are lucky, on alternate Saturdays.
