This is our second time of using one of the Highland Holiday Properties let by Alison Rankin. Ben Avon house is situated in a very quiet cul de sac with woodland to the rear (great for bird watchers and spotting deer!). The house was clean and well appointed with all the necessary facilities and utilities. Access is easy for Aviemore and the surrounding stunning countryside. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a good property for up to 8 people. |

Dear Allison,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding my refund of £150. We have just returned from having a wonderful week in Aviemore at Ben Avon house. The house was immaculate and the facilities, furnishings were first class and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. (The weather certainly made a huge difference. Could we have chosen a better week to go.) I will certainly consider staying in one of your properties in Aviemore again. I will certainly recommend your company to my friends.
Thanks again for a great holiday and your property was excellent.
Regards Shona

thank you for the deposit return. The house was fantastic, and we have said we would like to use your houses again. We come to Scotland every October, and may well return to Aviemore, and if so, would love to have the house again. Ben Avon is an excellent property, and very warm as you said!
thank you again, Paul

Hi Alison
We had a fantastic break in Aviemore thanks and the house was really lovely. We may be looking at another trip to Aviemore nearer the end of the year and will be in touch when we have organised dates for this.
Thanks again, Alison

Dear Alison,
I just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic time at your holiday property at Aviemore in March. The house itself was excellent, well equipped, clean & warm, we have already recommended to friends of ours and will spread the good word to others! I wanted to know if you would hire your house out for two night rather than three? as this would be ideal for a weekend break.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much again.
Kind Regards Grant, family & friends
