Solid Highland Stay

The accommodation has spaciousness, and a very clean condition upon arrival. The garden outside allowed kids for fun activities. The beds are comfy. I liked the kitchen, it includes all necessary equipments for meal preparation. We saw much surrounding beauty nearby.
The cabin shows some wear and could benefit from painting.

Quiet Highland Getaway

beautiful groundsfriendly staffcomfortable apartmenttired lodge
The grounds were beautiful I enjoyed the lochan. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was close to many activities in the region. The apartment was well-equipped and comfortable. I found everything I needed was there.
The lodge looked a bit tired and in need of some maintenance I noticed particularly on the decking. Some of the steps leading to the lodge were also in poor condition. The carpets had stains on them. I noticed that the bathroom could use some updating.

The resort's location offers a quiet setting immersed in the beauty of the Scottish Highlands. It is a short drive from Aviemore offering a balance of seclusion and access to town amenities. A glass dining room offers views of the surrounding woods.
