From the moment we arrived the place felt like home. The lounge was very cosy with the log burner and the bedrooms were perfect for our needs. The property was spotlessly clean and all the beds were really comfy. The location was just fabulous for our stay with Aviemore offering both supermarkets (for when we ate in) and local restaurants for when Read morewe ate out (we found the curry house particularly good!). We cannot recommend Pilmuir enough and will definitely consider staying here again. Hide
