We visited here in November 2025. The Lodge was spacious, clean and comfortable. The lodge was equipped with Ninja Air fryer, Pizza Over and Ice maker. All cleaning stuff is supplied as was our first meal and breakfast for the following day. We are already looking at booking for 2026.

Fabulous welcome. It was such a lovely surprise to have dinner and breakfast sorted after our long drive thank you so much. The house was fantastic and all of the added touches were very welcome. Thank you so much. We have been twice now and will most definitely come back again.

Absolutely amazing property in a fantastic location.The games room is well equipped and hot tub is a good size. There are lots of little touches which make the property, ice machine, pizza oven and large well thought out bedrooms.John the owner is lovely and nothing was too much for him.The house is 20mins walk from the centre of Aviemore and 5mins drive from most places.There is so much to do in the local area a few of our recommendations would be clay pigeon shooting, the birds of prey experience and afternoon tea on steam train. For watersports Loch Morlich is the place to be, nothing is too much trouble and the Loch is stunning.5 star accommodation in 5 star locationHighly recommend and we will definitely be back again
