Guests say
Battanropie Lodge is highly praised for its stunning location, spacious and well-equipped house, and secure garden ideal for dogs. Guests appreciate the proximity to woodland walks and local attractions, as well as the warmth and ample hot water. The property's kitchen and communal spaces are particularly commended, and the thoughtful touches, such as a Christmas hamper, are well-received.
The majority of guests found the property to be clean and well-maintained, though one guest mentioned that the electric cooker was not clean. This seems to be an isolated incident, as other reviews do not raise cleanliness concerns.
The location is consistently lauded for its convenience to local attractions, woodland walks, and the river. The secure garden and proximity to walking areas make it ideal for guests with dogs.
Guests find the house warm with plenty of hot water, comfortable seating, and comfy beds. However, one guest mentioned a creaky and uncomfortable bed in the twin room, slightly affecting the score.
The property is well-equipped with a modern kitchen, utility room, and smart TV. The presence of a coffee machine, dog wash, and ample living space are noted. One negative comment about an unclean cooker slightly impacts the score.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like a Christmas hamper, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or guaranteed for all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate available on request. Welcome pack.. Enclosed lawned garden with patio and garden furniture. Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. Battanropie Lodge is an outstanding holiday property with so much space for a family or group of six. It is in a favourite spot in the Cairngorms National Park in lovely Carrbridge. The village has a couple of fantastic cafés and a couple of bars and restaurants too. Plus, there is an 18-hole golf course in the village, which is very little played. Just a short walk from the house is a brilliant woodland walk to take the dogs on, and it offers a great chance to spot rare British wildlife including the ptarmigan, red squirrel and even an osprey if you are lucky.
Battanropie Lodge is a large house set within its own enclosed grounds, perfect for the dogs to roam and explore. The rear of the garden runs down to the river and is fenced off and there is plenty of outdoor seating space on the rear patio. Inside the property there is a spacious open plan living space with loads of light coming in from dual aspect windows. The spacious kitchen area has a fabulous Aga and separate oven and hob for cooking, and the utility room attached to the kitchen has a large fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and door to the garden and there is also a separate toilet on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are three large bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and enjoys views towards the river and woodland, the second double bedroom also enjoys the same great views, while the third bedroom has twin beds and there is also a family bathroom which has a walk-in shower as well as a bath.
You can explore something different every day from Carrbridge when you venture further afield. The Cairngorm Mountains are to the south east, and the gateway from Aviemore is a classic day trip. Loch Garten and the Abernethy Forest, where BBC Winterwatch was recently filmed, are close by to the east. The north east offers the great Spey valley, with numerous world-class fly fishing opportunities, as well as countless distilleries to nip into for a wee dram or two. The north offers the bright lights of charming Inverness and the Moray Firth with huge sandy beaches not far away at Nairn and further north of Inverness at Rosemarkie on the Black Isle. To the west you have more wild country, different from the Cairngorms but showing the vast wilderness of the Scottish Highlands nonetheless. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

We were very lucky with the weather. The house is in a perfect location to get to many of the attractions such as Narin, Culloden, Aviemore,and much more.The garden was perfect for our dog Baxter and was safe and secure. We even had a deer payus visit.We have been to Battanropie twice now and will be back for a third adventure.
