Little Chestnut Reviews

This place was perfect. Exceptionally clean and the owners were very discreet yet available and helpful when needed. I would not hesitate to recommend.

The holiday cottage was decorated beautifully throughout. And set in fantastic surroundings. The furnishings in every room were outstanding. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Use of the hot tub and bbq hut was a much welcomed bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at little chestnut and would love to return one day. My little granddaughter loved it that much she cried when it was time to leave.

Kirstie

Lovely cottage with great facilities. Lots of extra small details. Hot tub was immaculate and well maintained and the house itself very clean and comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Elizabeth

Little Chestnut is a wonderful place to stay with everything you could ask for and much more. Barbeque Lodge and hot tub and sauna were an added bonus, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would certainly recommend a holiday here. There are lots of places to visit nearby. Theresa and Ken were great hosts. We will certainly be back.

The pictures on the listing do not do it justice.

Excellent a wonderful property, great hosts they even cleared snow from the driveway very much appreciated. The leisure suite was perfect in every way , great way to relax. Would fully recommend Little Chestnut to anyone.

Hayley

Wonderful place to stay. Lovely and clean and very well equipped. The owner greeted us on arrival and showed us how to use the hot tub. We didnt see them again which suited us perfectly as it felt very private. We knew they were only next door and were very happy for us to make contact if we needed anything. We dont like to be fussed when on holiday, so for us this was great. Prosecco and milk on arrival was really thoughtful as were the robes and slippers. Great location for exploring and theres a coop 10 minute walk away and a esso garage even closer. Lovely peaceful location. We didnt use the barbecue hut but it looked fab. The sauna was also great! Highly recommended place to stay.

Andrew

Excellent holiday house, we knew straight away it was ideal for our stay. The house embraced you in comfort in a pleasant setting. Within Muir of Ord it was convenient for petrol, Coop and bakers. Good access to Black Isle and close to Beauly. Even the weather cooperated. A delightful stay rebooked already.

We had a fantastic week at Little Chestnut. Thank you for being so welcoming and the gifts were a lovely touch. Loved the hot tub and sauna, and the bbq hut was amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Property was absolutely wonderful. We had a great holiday facilities was fantastic little chestnut is a lovely place to stay, owners are very friendly and helpful Thank you

Wow, an amazing property, with everything you need for a brilliant self catering stay. Ken was present on our arrival, and clearly explained the instructions of the hot tub, sauna and bbq hut. The house was very spacious, and extremely clean with quality furniture making it the most comfortable place we have ever stayed in. The downstairs shower was awesome. Hot tub and sauna were used daily, providing much needed relaxation after a busy day. The outside area was very private and well maintained. We made use of the bbq hut a couple of afternoons and enjoyed dining outside, We have stayed in quite a few holiday homes, and Little Chestnut is now our number 1. Thank you Ken and Theresa for a wonderful stay, and we will be back at some point. Graeme and Paula

Just that we had a blast. Place is amazing. Nothing to improve. Just want to live there

Patricia

Staying at Little Chestnut is like staying at your own private resort. It is so peaceful and calm. The owners are also very accommodating. I have stayed there three times and I will be back. I love it.

Excellent property, beautifully cleaned and maintained with superb facilities.

A lovely house and a lovely week.

Beautiful property with a huge hot tub and sauna. Tastefully decorated and spotless. Great location for exploring the highlands. With little extras, the owners have thought of everything. Would highly recommend and we hope to visit again

Ernest

From the moment we arrived it was a 5 star relaxation holiday. The cottage is lovely inside and outside, complimented with the hot tub and sauna. It far exceeded our expectations.

Michelle

We loved coming back to Little Chestnut, it's like a home away from home as it has everything you need, this time we stayed two weeks. Ken & Theresa are very welcoming and were in contact with us through out our holiday. Theresa knocked the door to let us know that the Northern lights were out. Which was a lovely thing to see and tick of our bucket list. It was lovely coming back to the sauna & hot tub after a cold day out. And we are already looking forward to returning for our next visit.

Far exceeded our expectations. It is the best cottage we have ever stayed in. We would give it 6 stars if we could. Will be immediately be booking a return visit

Excellent stay, great hosts and everything that we needed was supplied and the welcome gifts were an added treat. Ideally situated to explore the Cairngorms and the West coast. Impeccably kept property throughout and the leisure suite with hot tub and sauna make The Little Chestnut a perfect place to relax and unwind. The BBQ cabin was a great experience and just finished off the holiday perfectly..

We had a great week in the house and would definitely come back.

Sharon

Little chestnut is truly an outstanding property, a W O W house ,every home comfort you need, with few extra features. The Hot tub so lovely to relax in & a comfortable bed to sleep in at end of days sightseeing. Cleanliness second to none!!! On arrival we were greeted by Ken, a very warm friendly man, unfortunately we didnt meet Theresa , but did communicate before our holiday, which was very helpful & informative, recommended few places to see & as everything went smoothly in the house we didnt need to bother them. We were left a lovely welcome pack which was appreciated. The garden was beautiful, pity it wasnt summertime as Im sure itll be a lovely garden to relax in! Our first visit to Scotland, absolutely stunningly beautiful country with gorgeous scenery, very friendly people,loved it , thinking of visiting ? then Id highly suggest you book little chestnut you wont be disappointed.

I must express my astonishment! If you ever have the opportunity to reside in this location, you will undoubtedly find it to be exceptional. This establishment offers an array of amenities that exceed one's expectationsample space, a cosy atmosphere, and every need meticulously addressed. The sole regret we experienced was having to bid farewell.

The house is a home from home. Clean and well maintained to a high standard. Very private location. Couldn't fault the property or service provided. The owners are very friendly.

This is the most awesome holiday home! Everything you could ever want is there, plus the wonderful owners!!

Kathryn

We have just spent 2 weeks staying at Little Chestnut which is the perfect holiday home. In fact is one of the best properties we have stayed in. It was quiet, private and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It was also immaculately clean which has not always been the case with a couple of previous properties we have stayed in. The added extras of the hot tub and sauna were very much enjoyed especially by our teenage son. The photos on Sykes do not do this place justice. We would definitely recommend and we hope to return very soon. It is a great base for exploring the Highlands. We have had a fabulous holiday. Thank you to Theresa & Ken for such a fabulous place.
