Smashing house
The house has everything you could need to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. We had pretty terrible weather so made good use of the cinema room, and the drying room!

George and Gillian presented a spotlessly clean, superbly equipped, perfectly located, comfortable house. We were a party of four senior gents on our annual golf holiday and Zippity do Dah made a wonderful spacious base for our trip, ideally located, and included plenty of entertainments were the weather to be inclement. A generous arrival welcome box was provided and we had good communication with our hosts. Top marks to George and Gillian, and we would thoroughly recommend Zippity do Dah and all its bells and whistles!

wow! what a fantastic house
Just back from 4 days at Zippity-Do-Da house. The house was spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly want. Very comfortable and warm and cosy. We visited the Highland zoo and had a great afternoon on the Steam railway trip in Aviemore. Visited Loch Morlich which was absolutely beautiful and our two Labradors had a great time swimming and walking round the Loch. The house has an amazing drying room which was a great help when we had wet clothes and we all enjoyed the hot tub especially at night under the stars. Thank you so much George for your great communication and helpful guide folder and the wonderful welcome pack that greeted us. This has to be the best place we have stayed at for amenities and comfort. Great location too and Aviemore is so dog friendly in the cafes and shops. Hope to come back soon to this wonderful house.

What makes this property unique

Zippity Do Da House is set amidst stunning scenery close to Loch Alvie and is only 2 miles from Aviemore centre. The house is located by a small number of apartments one of which is semi-detached to the house. There is ample parking to the front of the house and in the main drive. We are only half a mile to the main A9 junction and it's a similar distance to access the Speyside Way cycle/footpath.

How to get here..
When traveling to Aviemore on the A9, take the southern Aviemore junction. At the end of the slip road take a right onto the B9152 and travel 1/2 mile south. When you see the Rowan Tree Hotel on the right hand side take the driveway just before the hotel car park and Zippity-Do-Da House is straight in front of you at the bottom of the drive.

At the Rowan Tree Hotel, where you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant or a drink in the bar and it's only a minutes walk away.

Outside the house there is a gated grassy garden with plenty of outside seating areas. There is a secure bike and ski store. From the top deck there is direct access to the fields with a walk down to beautiful Loch Alvie and beyond.
