We stayed at Muckrach (and Cairngorm Cottage) for 3 nights for my 50th birthday celebration with 30 guests. It was absolutely brilliant! The house is immaculate, comfortable, clean and spectacular. It's very welcoming and it has everything there you need and just a amazing place to relax and enjoy its surroundings whether it be reading the papers in the library, chilling in the copious sitting rooms or playing croquet on the lawn. The piano bar was a particular hit with my party! I didn't leave the grounds for 3 days as I didn't want to miss a second of it! I believe the bedrooms (maybe all th...more
We very much enjoyed our stay in Cathedral House. It was extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated and in a terrific position. Would highly recommend!
We had the best week at Drum Lodge. From the first moment we arrived we were blown away by the place. We were there during a storm but couldn’t think of a better place to hunker down by the fire looking at the stunning view. A huge thank you for home grown veg and supplies when we arrived and another huge thank you to Ed from Oxygen who organised an amazing meal at the unique Fae Bothy and to Ian and Bryce for the landrover tour of the estate. We learnt so much about the history of the area and about what Oxygen are doing there. Drum Lodge was an unforgettable place.
The only complaint . I felt 4pm arrival and 10 am departure left a short break quite short . Must holiday homes are 3 pm and 11am . I felt I was starting to pack things up the night before departing as we had to be out by 10 am . Probably if you were there for a week . It wouldn’t be as bad. The house however was lovely .
We loved every moment of our time at Mallard. The location was perfect and we enjoyed being able to pop into Boat of Garten whilst also feeling very remote. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to cater for the four of us throughout the week. The children loved playing in the garden and exploring the forest. We appreciated all the toys, books and games in the house. We really hope to come back.
Fab October week at Coorie Lodge. Coorie Lodge was immaculate and has everything you need - kitchen very well equipped, comfortable beds, loads of space and a great bonus is the garage ping pong which was enjoyed by all. Setting is perfect for long dog walks and short stroll to a great cafe. Having the stove really added to our cosy nights in. A beautiful place for a relaxing week away.
Writing to say thank you. We had 15 adults and 16 kids (ages 3 to 10) and found Gulabin Lodge an excellent experience to have such a gathering. The house and grounds provide ample space for games for the children. The kitchen was well stocked. The firepit was a hit and captivated everyone. We were in easy reach of local walks. Nothing was a problem for Helen and Tim and they created a relaxed atmosphere for us to have a wonderful weekend.
If you want to stay somewhere remote, quiet and peaceful, but without having to compromise in comfort, Laggandhu is the place to be. Very beautiful cottage which is well maintained. Not too far from activities and shops in the surrounding environment. We would definitely come back and can highly recommend this cottage.
Ideally located, nicely furnished, comfortable and welcoming. Being pet friendly, with the provision of towels and throws was appreciated.
The extension of the old Stables building works really well and particularly liked the living room on the first floor with its two balconies and felt like you were almost living amongst the trees, a lot of good natural light and views. Everything was clean and fresh and garden was ideal for our 2 springer spaniels to stretch their legs. Getting to the woods behind was only a short 100yds or so walk, didn't try the stile at the rear to the garden, maybe next time. We have been to Nethy Bridge many times over the last 20 or so years, this is a welcome addition, and makes a great spot to tour fro...more
Lovely place to stay great for the kids , central to Aviemore & Granton , would recommend to anyone . Would deff stay again
Just perfect! Lovely lodge. Well thought out. Everything you need. Great location. Thankyou for helping with the balloons too.
Have stayed here many times so that’s a good sign! Another lovely stay! This year it felt cosier as the heating was set to come on in the morning which was so much better. Ice bag in freezer also a great plus! Same suggestions as last year! A coffee machine! Can buy a nespresso for minimal ££. I bring my own but is a hassle! Blind in master bedroom high window. Make the bunk room window into a door so the room is more useable as a real 3 bedroom rather than 2.5! The trolleys to move luggage etc are vital but one of them is falling apart! Having said that I have rebooked for n...more
beautiful house and location, this is not meant to be critical or in any way a reflection on whether or not we will return to this house, but having had several visits to this property, we noticed it was starting to look a little tired, showers/kitchen work benches etc that said, it is a fabulous house in a beautiful location wonderful family holiday
We had a magnificent stay at Forest Trail Lodge from 18/5/26 - 25/5/26. The lodge was immaculate on arrival and everything perfect for ourselves my son and daghter-in-law and 18 month old grandson. I could not fault anything from the design of the lodge,the comfort of the beds and couches,and the range of kitchen crockery and utensils. The range of wild birds and a red squirrel delighted us all especially grandson Liam and I would recommend getting a bag of wild birdfood early in the stay to get as much benefit as possible. All in all a great week and we hope to return next year.
Another great stay at Pine Ridge Lodge! Three generations now and well equipped for all, comfortable and spacious. Fab location, walks from the door, garden lovely for socialising and relaxing. Loved the different areas to sit in and catch the sun! Hot tub a bonus. Only downside was there was a lot of dog hairs on some of the throws and carpets in the bedrooms. Not ideal with a crawling baby. Couldn’t find a vac otherwise we would have tried to remove some. Nothing that would put us off booking again though.
This is a really fine house in a truly fabulous location. The amenities on the doorstep, including the local pub, are tremendous. The house is very well appointed. It is easy to see that the owners have invested in making it a fine place to stay. There are one or two things still needing a little bit of attention but these are a work in progress. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is really well appointed. The dining table is perfect even if the house is full. We were 14 which filled the table perfectly but you could squeeze in a couple more. The hot tub was really popular with man...more
Fabulous house with everything you would need. Owners were very helpful and lovely to deal with! Would stay again!
The Old Minister’s House is a beautiful building, very comfortable and very well loved. It is within walking distance to the centre of Aviemore. We loved our stay, nothing was too much trouble if I needed help. We will be staying there again soon.
We had a lovely stay in this wonderful, well equipped house, the hot tub was a welcome addition after a day spent walking! The property was within walking distance of Aviemore with its cafes and shops which was handy when you don’t want to cook. Very comfortable and clean would highly recommend.
Great location - not cheap, but it’s well appointed. We enjoyed our stay and will book again. I won’t bother with “the good” stuff because that’s already good, so to the improvement required….. House not clean enough. Soap and debris under taps , dust in lots of corners - better cleaner required. Not enough logs left for the stay. Log burner not adjustable and needs looking at as it incinerates only . Broken shelves in fridge. That’s it.
Beautiful cottage in the most beautiful setting. Cosy, comfortable, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect stay. We had the most relaxing week here, our children absolutely loved it too. Exploring the tracks and trails from our doorstep on the Dorback Estate, returning to the hot tub to soak up the stunning views, and star-gazing in the evenings made it a truly special place to stay. We didn’t want to leave! If you’re looking to escape and get away from it all, we couldn’t recommend this cottage more highly. We would love to return.
We had a superb week despite two named storms there is always plenty to do in the area. Station Cottage is lovely and warm and was extremely comfortable when outside the weather was raging. The dogs loved the large garden as did our little girl. We will certainly book again soon. Oh maybe a couple of oven trays providing we didn't overlook them might be handy to cook a sneaky pizza on when we are short for time, but rest assured we have no complaints, a lovely cottage in a lovely village. Thankyou.
View of the mountains from the comfort of the living area was unbeatable. Beautiful kitchen leading out to the decking area.
The lodge is amazing. You drive through the gates, through the forest over a crest, and are met with a stunning view of the lodge and the sprawling gardens. The wrap-around decking lets you follow the sun (when it's there) and listen to the birds merrily chirping. Inside doesn't disappoint either. The conservatory TV room became a perfect hideaway for the older 'kids' (22 and 18), leaving the TV near the kitchen for the adults. The weather was warm enough that we didn't light the fire, but I bet it's stunning in the colder months. We walked the perimeter to check the garden was secure before l...more
This is the second time we have stayed a this property. Its central location in Aviemore is great making everything within a short walk. The flat is still a nice new build flat but is starting to show signs of wear and tear, marks on walls and skirtings. The cleaning is ok. The cleaner doesn’t like skirtings or moving furniture. Some of the bedding needs replaced as there were stains on them. Overall a great base to explore the surrounding area, comfortable and cozy with everything you will need for a self catering holiday.
A good stay in a beautiful location, the cottage has many lovely features and a great design. However, there are multiple maintenance issues to address - the most important of which was a loose, large paving slab at the front door step which flipped up when it was stepped on and almost caused a nasty fall. We also had a ripped fitted sheet (35cm) on the master bed which looked like an animal had done it - plus a hole in the same sheet. Faulty doors on both ovens and the dishwasher, very worn corner cushions on the hot tub, a ceiling light fitting full of insects/flies, master bedroom wardrob...more
The location is wonderful and overall we enjoyed our three night family stay. We all felt that there were things not up to scratch for the very high price of a three night stay. One window in the living room and one window in the large first floor bedroom had smeared fingerprints all over them. There were no usable gas lighters for the fire/hot tub, bowls and plates were dirty and some quite badly cracked or chipped, the bathroom floor upstairs hadn't been cleaned properly as there were black hairs everywhere and doors were dirty where people have opened and closed them. The placemats and co...more
Rivercroft is in a stunning location and well situated to explore the beautiful, Aviemore is only a short drive away. However, the maintenance let the lodge down. The two carbon monoxide detectors had low batteries and started beeping in the early hours of the morning on two separate occasions. Great North Lodges were helpful and the owner did arrive the next day. The living room door was broke on arrival. The front door was sticking, making locking it difficult. The extractor fan in the upstairs bathroom was not working. The downstairs shower was useless. The frying pans and baking sh...more
We had a wonderful stay at Croft Kincardine. The space inside and out were brilliant for four adults two very energetic boys and noodle the dog. Everyone (especially noodle )enjoyed the safe outside space to run about and we all enjoyed the relaxation in the hot tub with the amazing views.The weather was grim initially but this just made us cosy up inside and play board games. We didn’t need to venture far but were really close to lots of activities and Croft Kincardine was the perfect place to return to after a days activities. The internet was brilliant and the caretaker staff very welco...more
Cottage was perfect for our needs- well equipped, and home comforts. Location was ideal for walks and shops alike. Have been before and will be back- thank you!
Great location, great set up! Even in the stormy weather outside this house is so cozy. There are some great walks nearby - even in the bad weather. Well set up kitchen and living space
We booked our stay as a treat for our honeymoon with our two young kids. Unfortunately due to a storm we were left with no electricity. While we understand that this is out with the control of the owners the running water is pumped by an electric pump and it meant that for the first nearly 24 hours we had no running water as well as electricity and as had to vacate the property for an entire day. When we reached out regarding this we feel we have been let down with no adequate resolution and ourselves out of pocket. As a result we would not recommend this property
Another fabulous stay at Bracken House , great location and perfect accommodation. We even had a family of deer visit for the first time , amazing ! We'll be back !
3 families had a very good week at Langrick: Positive - ideally located; very spacious for the number; very comfortable - beds, sofas etc.; good facilities ie Dishwasher; Freezer; 2 Fridges; excellent Showers with instant hot water for all; Warm and comfortable with the log burners. Negative - access and entrance gates really need attention, tricky getting vehicles in and out - safely and undamaged . TV in smaller lounge area inop. Minor electrical issues need attention ie right side main bedroom bedside light inop. All in all very good value for money
What a wonderful, relaxing stay we have had , we actually got lost the first night as there was so much space . The whole feel of the place is just amazing we will definitely be booking again if you will have us. The dog Spartacus was in his element with the garden and access to water. We didn’t want to leave thank you so much to the whole team involved.
Enjoyed our stay the lodge was large enough as there was 10 of us .everyone enjoyed the hot tub especially the kids they absolutely loved it. Just a couple of minor things .The shower drain in back bedroom with the balcony wasnt draining the water away quickly enough and water was all over bathroom floor .and the balcony door lock wouldn't lock.apart from these minor things the lodge was lovely and our grandchildren want us to book it again for nxt year..
A lovely cosy lodge in a great location. Easy walking distance to the centre of Aviemore and to Rothiemurchus via pedestrian walkways.
Second time at Wolf Lodge. Actually got engaged there almost 5 years ago. Lovely little lodge and amenities are perfect. New and impressive decking/fencing since our last visit. If I had anything to improve, I would say a slightly larger TV wouldn’t go a miss. I know not everyone will watch TV and it is on wheels so you can pull it closer, however, it is on the small side. Small gripe but that tells you how much everything else is spot-on.
The property is in a nice quiet location but an easy walk to the village. It was well equipped with the added bonus of the hottub and sauna
As a family holiday for 8 people we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the location was amazing as was the hot tub. A few issues though, the decking was extremely slippy and could cause injury to those with mobility issues. The beds all should have mattress protectors as only when we stripped the beds on the last day we noticed the metal frame bed mattress was severely stained. All rooms would also benefit from bigger beds. A guest book would be helpful to include when the bins were due to be collected for example as we had to take all out rubbish with us which wasn't very pleasant to do du...more
