Really beautiful place. Hot tub was put to very good use and the dogs loved running round the garden. Fence at the bottom was very welcome to stop them running into the river all the time. Bedrooms are a great size and beds comfy. The view is stunning and even though its in a fairly residential area its feels secluded when your there. Wet door for when you come in muddy from your walks was very useful specially with 2 dogs! Got very quirky lighting which was fun when you go to bed! Only down side was we couldn't get the heating right, we where either too cold or too hot!

This is a great lodge for a short break or much longer. It's homely, welcoming and we'll supplied so you don't need to bring tonnes of things for the kitchen "just in case". The log burning fire and hot tub are a massive bonus.I was really pleased to find out I could run from the door and was very quickly in the forest and off the road. It goes without saying that it is in a great location for the outdoor life and Aviemore.
