Pretty disappointing, dinner was nice \u0026 Zoe was awesome! \u0026 few other staff were great.

Pros: The chalet was brilliant \u0026 the location is amazing! Zoe was awesome in sorting snowboard hire

Cons: The restaurant wasn't open for pretty much the whole time we stayed even though it opened for school trip only. The breakfast, wasn't a proper breakfast, only a bap \u0026 pay extra for extra items! The last time I stayed in beginning of March 4 years ago the restaurant was open every day. I was told before I booked that we could fish the loch \u0026 river that loch insh can arrange everything but that lady on reception didn't have a clue!!

Great place for adventure.

Pros: Location in woods near loch. Big log fire with ample logs so lovely and warm. Activities on site including ski hire collectable night before, ideal for an early start.

Cons: EV chargers not working.

Pros: A lot of space. Amazing views. Very rural location. Hot tub was amazing, would have been great to have some sort of manual for it. Easy check in. Would definitely go back. Very minor issues. Very warm inside. Lots of appliances, everything you’d need as there’s not a lot of food options near by but it’s a rural area so you’d expect that. Really quiet and peaceful. Good value for money. Parking right outside chalet. Showers have good pressure which is amazing. 10 or so minute drive into aviemore. We visited La taverna, coffee pot, route 7 cafe and the happy haggis chippy.

Cons: A lot of cobwebs everywhere, would have been nice for them to have been cleared. Wasn’t a proper lock on the back door, just a sliding lock. Towels were extremely small. Floor in toilet was burning hot.

Stunning location and super cosy pretty log cabins

Pros: Parking next to chalet. Stunning location views. Great layout all bedrooms connected to central kitchen/living room (good with kids). Kids loved the bunk! Short pretty walk to restaurant \u0026 ski hire shop. Full restaurant \u0026 bar plus 2 X play park areas for kids. Chalet has a torch. Tea towels/washing up liquid and sponges and Henry hoover in the chalet. Lots of crockery and cups. Beds made: linen towels provided. Staff easy to get hold of when I called. Very cosy cute wooden chalet.

Cons: No bath. No laundry facilities in the chalet but are available for an additional cost. No sharp chopping knife or scissors so bring with. No plastic cups or plates for young children. Bring with.

Pros: The apartment had everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfy, kitchen facilities were great and the site was magical with plenty of activities and the boathouse is a great place to unwind. The location was ideal for exploring the cairngorms. The perfect get away.

Cons: The apartment needed lamps in the main living areas. It's not really a didnt like and definitely wouldn't stop me from staying again.

Comfy and warm stay but facilities are tired and need a refurbishment.

Pros: Spacious and served its purpose for a family holiday with our 3 adult daughters + niece Warm (heating worked well for December and sub zero temps) Good enough kitchen and appliances although oven didn't work well (see below) Spacious enough living area with ample seating (for 6 adults) Loft area worked well as additional sleeping area. Ample.parking right outside the cabin (we had 2 cars) great area for walks and access to the Loch Nice pub on site (we didn't use the restaurant so cannot comment) Helpful staff although the extra firewood promised didn't get delivered 20min easy drive to Aviemore

Cons: Oven was underpowered and didn't seal so smoked out the cabin. Fortunately we had a slow cooker we brought with otherwise Christmas lunch wouldn't have happened. only 1 bathroom (shower only) for 6 adults and old and needs refurbished/ modernised. Cabin worked well but its tired and could do with a refit Beds creaked dreadfully even when simply turning over or changing position. But above didn't detract from a happy and fun time away with our family (some from overseas).

An absolute gem to stay in if you like the outdoors and activities. Will definitely be back.

Pros: This was a fabulous stay in a family run location that couldn't be more tranquil right down by the lock. There were masses of activities on tap from skiing to skating to water sports or a beautiful walk round the loch. We did several of the skiing sessions and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. They were great for my teenage kids. The Boathouse restaurant had a good selection of food and hot drinks on tap. The room was comfortable with a small kitchen and a roaring fire!! The staff on reception were very flexible and accommodating. We had the best Hogmanay there in years.

Cons: The room had a small single bed but everything was clean and tidy.
