A Wonderful week was spent in Miss Mackintoshs classroom.
I was a bit dubious about booking an converted school for Jane's half term break as she's a school teacher,
I needn't have worried though, The Old School at Carrbridge is as far removed from a school as you could imagine.
The fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality and every attention to detail has been thought through by Kate and David, right down to the original artwork hanging on the walls.
You could almost spend your holiday indoors enjoying the comfort of the place.
If you do decide to venture out though the location couldn't be better for exploring the spectacular Highland scenary with Aviemore less than ten minutes down the road.
Wildlife surrounds the area, in just a few days we had ticked off, an Otter, Crested Tits, Waxwings and Golden Eagles. Unfortunately we blanked on a Capercaillie, Maybe next time!

Well done, Miss Mac. Your small class of 7 Dec 2010 enjoyed their moments revelling in the foot and a half of snow that surrounded the Old School (path beautifully cleared though). Base camp was as
per the description - excellent, including the free range eggies in the fridge. A wee treat. And the friendly dogs, too, to welcome you home.
This report card confirms your class worked diligently during formal lessons on Cairngorm Mountain when untracked powder challenged the fitness and skill of the students. Stretching credibility, we
know, but there was powder snow everywhere in good light, no wind and virtually no queues. Nine out of 10 we would say. Only the Ptarmigan Restaurant's macaroni and chips reminded us we were in
Scotland, not the Alps.
Back in school, we took time to distil the day's lessons, prompted by local Speyside worthies Messers Macallan and Balvennie, accompanied by their mate, Ben Riach. Can't recall a thing after that.
Only that we would like to enrol in the Old School next time we are up.
Many thanks!

Dear Kate and David,
Thank you once again for another fantastic New Year's holiday. Miss Mackintosh's classroom welcomed us with a beautiful Christmas tree, lots of local goodies and as usual the luxurious comforts that
make such a relaxing stay. It will certainly be a holiday to remember for all our family. Your hospitality and generosity are second to none and you gave us all a first class introduction into the
Scottish country way of life that we will never forget. We have made some great friends and look forward to seeing you all soon.
Many thanks once again.
Lots of Love Anita, Mehmet, Can and Arin xx
PS Any time you want a dog and cat sitter, the kids are free!

Spent a fantastic weekend at the Old School House in the staff room and can honestly say what an amazing place it was. As soon as we arrived Kate was outside to great us and had left a freshly backed
cake that was a lovely touch. Location wise it was easy to find and although it stood on its own it was only a few minutes away from some truly stunning views. Hoping to return in the not to distant
future.

A last minute decision to go to Carrbridge for the weekend proved a great success, the old schoolhouse was beyond our expectations as far as luxury goes, so much so we nearly spent the weekend
inside!! Kate and David are excellent hosts nothing was too much bother and the bacon rolls on the morning we were leaving were first class.
The countryside around the schoolhouse is lovely
as are all the animals there, the girls loved the dogs and cats especially badcat, we only wish we could have spent longer, which means of course we will have to come back another time soon.

What a fantastic holiday. The kids thought it the best one we've ever had! The Old Schoolhouse is wonderful, luxurious and in a beautiful setting. Kate is a fantastic host, the chocolate cake on
arrival was a lovely welcoming touch as were the delicious fresh eggs. We were there for the cycling and the area didn't disapoint we even managed to leave the car behind on a couple of occaions. A
great holiday have booked again for next year.
