Honeymoon 2021
Second stay at the signal box and yet again not disappointed. As it was our Honeymoon we wanted somewhere special and this was at the top of our list. Fantastic place and surroundings. Highly recommended if you fancy treating yourselves.

Fabulous!!!
The Signal Box was a beautifully looked after, warm and welcoming home from home for our exploring of the Scottish Highlands. Incredibly clean, well presented, quirky and equipped for everything! On arrival was a (slightly addictive...) chocolate cake, milk and everything there to get the wood burner going... and the view!!!! My God, the view....... We watched the sun creep over the mountains every day in awe of the scenery. In recommendation we tried the Glen Hotel for food which was okay, but after reading the reviews we expected better food/service and were a bit disappointed. The Braeriach Hotel on the high street on the other hand was a riot!! If you want to be welcomed into the community with open arms and enjoy great company and a few drinks whilst listening to the regulars blast out Sinatra on the karaoke (Friday night) this is the place for you! One of the best nights out for a long time ending in hugs and "come back to see us again." Truly felt welcomed and left with a warm fuzzy glow.... (could also account that to the whisky....) If you want to laugh continuously for a few hours, pay them a visit. The Scottish highlands has so much to see and do and the Signal Box is central to it all. Our first visit and I doubt it will be our last. Thank you Isla for a wonderful stay.

A Wonderful Week
It must surely have been a labour of love to have made the signalbox into such a perfect holiday home . It is spotlessly clean, warm enough for the chilliest days, and has everything that a visitor could possibly need and then some ! We appreciated the home made cake , flowers and milk to welcome us and also the sauna after our days out . The latter resulted in great hilarity and photos which I will NOT be posting .. By the end of the week we were on waving terms with the guards and passengers on the trains and , of course, the sheep . We've never stayed in a better place than the signalbox at Newtonmore.

A little slice of Scottish heaven!
We have just had the most wonderful week at the Signal Box! This is one where you really should believe the hype. It's perfectly located, immaculately presented and has everything that you could possibly need including a super-friendly and gracious host in Isla, who furnished us with not only an excellent recommendation for a wonderful local mountain climb but also the secret recipe to her divine chocolate cake! We all had great fun exploring beautiful Newtonmore and found it a great jumping point from which to explore the Cairngorms, Loch Ness, Inverness and Pitlochry. The scenery was spectacular and changed constantly so the TV never went on...and that's no small achievement when you have a 13 year old and 9 year old in tow! I would wholeheartedly recommend the Signal Box to anybody wanting to stay somewhere a bit extra special.

A fantastic stay in a stunning property!
Booked through Sykes Cottages and have reviewed on there but thought I would on here too. If you are thinking of booking The Signal Box then just do it and you won't be disappointed. Great location, lovely property and fantastic views of the Cairngorms. We visited for a week in April and had a good lot of snow which made it just magical. Plenty of places to visit nearby and further afield. Visit the Cairngorm mountain, Aviemore and if you are up for a drive head over to Isle of Skye! Well worth it. Thanks to the owners for providing such a lovely place to stay and the freshly baked chocolate cake when we arrived was a lovely surprise!!
