Such a beautiful and special place - we WILL be back and that’s simply a fact - stayed at some amazing places in the past, which you know are rented, but this one felt like home…and that’s the special part - thank you so much 😊

Beautifully appointed house with lots of attention to detail.
But we have come all needing a boot room !!
Very comfortable beds, and spacious bathrooms, well equipped kitchen.
Garden is not secure so recommend bringing a flexi lead with you.
Recommend Ballater for shopping, particularly the bakery excellent cakes and savories' , and the butchers for haggis.
We visited the Art Gallery as recommended by Sonia and the very friendly staff recommended the Fife Arms in Braemore for lunch - completely agree, worth a visit.

What an amazing, beautiful and wonderful house and location. We have just had a lovely few days break with our in laws, 1yr old and dog, and the house and location catered for us all. It had everything you could ever need and more. The space was amazing so you never felt on top of each other. It snowed whilst we were there making the scenery even more breathtaking. The added touch of the house being decorated for Christmas made it even more special. We will definitely be back again but in the summer this time to test out the outdoor firepit and bbq!! We loved the Christmas card from Jock with the extra info in so thank you and Sonia for a great stay!!

Absolutely perfect way to experience the Scottish Highlands - the interior is beautiful, the location is cinematic. I've run out of different words to say 'pretty'. Extremely comfortable. I've stayed in many very high quality Airbnbs around the world, this was absolutely one of the best.

The house was amazing - had absolutely everything we needed. Games shed was awesome and the location was breathtaking. I wanted to stay a lot longer!! Beds were really comfortable and linen was lovely. Shower was great. Firepit was hugely enjoyed!!! Thoroughly recommend for a holiday away from it all, felt like a bit of luxury in the wilderness.

Beautiful property and exactly what we were looking for. We were seeking a remote and peaceful location and this is exactly what we got! Future guests should note that the nearest shop is only 5 mins drive to Bellabeg. There were some lovely thoughtful touches on our arrival, plentiful wood for the stoves and fire pit, supplies of toilet roll etc., even some dog poo bags for those with fur babies in tow! The bed linen was fresh and clean, the beds were comfortable and generous. The cabin bed was particularly charming and was a favourite of my 10 year old! The whisky room was fab and enjoyed if we wanted to read a book or watch a movie. The bathrooms and kitchen were spotless. The boot room at the back houses a second fridge, the freezer and a washing machine. The house was wonderfully proportioned for a family of four. A power cut box came in VERY handy as we had a power cut during Storm Babet. We are already planning pur return visit! This stay was nearly perfect for us.

We had the loveliest visit in the house the past days. The house is absolutely beautiful and the amenities included made our stay wonderful. We enjoyed every second there and we will make sure to come back.

Words cannot fully describe how beautiful Lonarch Coaching Inn was. Spacious interior, gorgeous decor and situated in the most magnificent setting. Each room was well thought out and the men in our party thoroughly enjoyed the whisky room. Beds were extremely comfortable and linen was soft and luxurious. We spent a lot of time sitting outdoors, enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the river and woodland whilst watching the lambs frolicking. Property is quite remote which may not suit everyone but we loved the serenity and being in nature. Thank you Sonia for sharing this amazing home.

A beautiful, tranquil house in one of Scotland’s most stunning areas. The wildlife and walking all around was amazing. The house was perfectly set up with everything you could need, so comfortable and quiet. A truly magical place. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay - the house is clean, tranquil and so comfortable. There are so many little touches making this a very restful and cosy place. We experienced the full range of Scottish weather whilst staying (from warm sunny to waking up to snow!) and the house and it’s location are suited to all- the games room in the garage was perfect for keeping us entertained in the rain, the fires kept us cosy when it was cold and when the weather was good we spent time in the garden and had a campfire. We could have stayed so much longer! There is also lots of helpful information at the house about local walks and we enjoyed reading the history of the house. My daughter adored the little cabin bed that made her actually ask to go to bed!! Having a boot room was also so handy after long walks. Sonia was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to come back :)

One of the best Airbnb's we've visited so far: completely renovated, double garage with ping pong and darts, very well equipped kitchen, everything foreseen for both outdoor and indoor fireplace etc. Stunning environment. We really felt welcome. Another thing to note is how clean all spaces were. Impressive and great value for money!

We had a fantastic stay here! You could tell the house had recently been refurbished as the décor and furnishings were beautiful and very fitting for the style of house. The house was well stocked with towels, pillows and blankets as well as some lovely welcome prosecco on our arrival. We found the house to be an ideal location as we just enough 'out in the sticks' with no neighbour and beautiful backdrops (there was no better place to sit in the back garden drinking a cup of tea listening to all of the wildlife around) however, within in short distance we were close enough to the the local villages around to get some more supplies as well a go sight seeing. - Thanks for a lovely stay!
