Overall cruachan was really good, the cabin was lovely and well looked after. The location was excellent for what I was doing in the local area, it is pretty central to everything, the only issue I really had and it isn't a fault if the cabin is that the nearest shop is Aviemore and stuff two diabetics in the family I had to make sure I had everything I needed, there is no quick nipping to the shops.
