The house is beautiful and exceptionally well equipped. It is a lot bigger than expected and the ensuite bathroom is huge and again well built. Even with very loud Karaoke going on in the livingroom, you couldnt hear a sound in the bedroom. The water heating and pressure is excellent for the location as well. Hosts were extremely friendly and even ensured to dig out the snow so we wouldnt be stuck with our cars. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Fantastic Weekend Break
So much space for our group of 7 adults and one baby and dog. We could have easily stayed longer and hope to be back soon. Just perfect!
We took a long time to get the speaker for music to work so maybe some instructions would have been good.

Spacious, furnishings, peaceful location & friendliness of owners.
Post code does not take you to Bell House, ‘Three Words’ does so. To quote the latter would be preferable for future bookings.

LARGE COMFORTABLE HOLIDAY HOME
The Bellhouse is a really large, comfortable holiday home, suitable for groups or extended families. The location is good as although tucked away on a quiet road it is ideally placed to access the A9 and the surrounding area. The house is very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is large and well equipped with everything provided to make family meals. The hot tub is a welcome addition and towels are provided for this. Communication from Igloo is excellent and they helped with a delivery we required during our stay which was appreciated.
Access to a sweeping brush or a vacuum cleaner and an iron would be a good addition although I appreciate that not everyone would use these so not a criticism, just a personal preference.

Overall a good stay
As quite a large family we book these kind of getaways regularly, i think the house would really benefit from having at least one twin room. The 5 bedrooms in the house all have double beds which is not so good if people dont necessarily want to share a bed with their siblings or parents. We also have a 8 month old and before we left i did try to find out the size of the cot so we could bring suitable bedding or a travel cot but the hosts knowledge of the cot wasn't very helpful so we just brought both. Not a massive deal but also the televisions in the property are either quite old or mounted too bigh my grandfather couldn't see the tv in the livingroom very well which also seemed to be knackered in my opinion with a heavy blue tint. Overall apart from pepole not getting a very good sleep the house was very nice and all other important things were thare.

Christmas at the Bellhouse
This was a beautiful house in an accessible location, close to Aviemore and Inverness. Good location for Landmark for the grandchildren and mountains for the climbers and walkers in the family.We were greeted by a warm log burner and a huge twinkling Christmas Tree. Plenty of room so everyone had room to breathe and have time out. The beds were really comfortable, we slept really well. The hot tub was also a nice extra. The owners Kenny and Fifi were lovely and helpful (as were Nick & Erin). We had a fantastic Christmas after a very difficult year. Thank you.
Potentially a few more towels would have been helpful.
There were loads of crockery and cutlery (which was great for Christmas Dinner). The kitchen could do with a bit of organising and a full set of high ball glasses ie for 10 plastic or otherwise (although an odd assortment of glasses were dotted around the kitchen and bar). Also a full set of pans with lids that fit and a larger frying pan would be useful. Some of the wooden spoons in the drawer and cutting knives were dirty with food stuck to them. Just commenting to help :) we really enjoyed our stay.
