We just spent an excellent weeklong self-guided walking holiday with Rebecca and Andy of Scot Mountain Holidays, headquartered at Fraoch Lodge. A perfect combination of relaxation and challenge. …

Our room was small but comfortable. Breakfast at the large table was nice to be able to chat with other holidaymakers. There is really a lot to explore and experience in the area. A parking space is available.

We’ve just had a lovely stay at the Fraoch Lodge. The place has a very comfy look about it and the food was delicious. We also went on a hike with Andy, one of the owner who knows everything about the scottish landscapes, vegetation and how to avoid crowded places! Amazing experience, we highly recommend it!

We had a lovely stay at Fraoch Lodge. The rooms were great and everything was very clean, well maintained and well decorated. The lodge was easily accessible to Aviemore by bus, and Boat of Garten is a nice area with woods and lochs. Andy and Rebecca were very helpful and welcoming, and we appreciated the accommodation for our dietary needs- thank you for such a good stay! We also loved your garden and its beautiful flowers 🪻💐🌼

Shared shower on the floor. The amount of breakfast is a bit limited. You have to ask several times to get enough food. It feels if they want to save money on food.

I've been wanting to leave a review for months. I stayed here in January 2024 during a mountaineering course and had a fantastic experience. The house is charming, the food was exceptional, and the hosts were extremely friendly. Andy is incredibly knowledgeable about the Scottish mountains and can discuss a wide range of topics. Be sure to ask him about more remote locations—he's traveled extensively and has fascinating stories, including adventures in places like Pakistan.

Very disappointed with the proprietor. She had a 5pm check-in time, which arguably is unreasonably late. After a long drive we tried for a 4pm check-in only to be told rudely to come back at 5pm. …
