We all loved our stay, despite the weather. The lodges were clean, comfortable and very spacious. Grandchildren had a brilliant time with the outdoor space, swimming & dry sledging. Would have loved more time but we will certainly be back as there is so much we haven’t done. Local people & shop staff were very helpful and friendly. ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not bad The cabin we rented was in a large resort complex. Where and how to check in was a bit confusing. The cabin was roomy, comfortable enough and quiet but lacked some basic items in the kitchen that would have made eating there easier. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### sarah 30 May 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities They put us in a two bed instead of the three bed we booked. It took three hours to fix this problem while we had to wait. We then stayed in the three bed lodge but weren’t supplied with firewood for the fire and it was the noisiest house we have ever stayed in - we couldn’t flush the toilets because of the extreme noise it made and all of the floorboards upstairs and downstairs creaked terribly so sleep was very difficult. ##### sarah Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles 29 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service Great stay as far as facilities were concerned. However staff generally let the hotel down, things that should have been in the room weren't, and fixing issues took forever ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Lodge was extremely comfortable and well equipped, in a beautiful woodland setting but not far from restaurants or amenities.

I cant wait to come back for a longer family holiday ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauline 8 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The lodge was in a great location for the centre of Aviemore. It had everything we needed and was comfortable accommodation for 6 adults. The only thing i could really fault was it could do with a little freshen up of paint. ##### Pauline Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen 20 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Room for improvement, but very comfortable. Our week in Lodge 4 was lovely, but we had some thoughts on simple things that could have made it excellent. Firstly, staying midwinter means lots of coats and wet shoes are likely, but there were no coathooks anywhere in the lodge, only a tiny doormat, no shoe rack or tray. There's plent of space for all these things and they're not expensive to put in, and would have made a huge difference. Secondly, the kitchenette was as described (basic), but if you provide a microwave comi oven, pyrex-type dishes for cooking in it ought to be provided too. We had to use the crockery and pray it didn't crack (it didn't). There was a persistent drawing smell in the main bathroom too, so a little tlc on the plumbing would be good. But having said all that, we had a really comfortable week, and having the convenience of restaurant, bar, gym and pool onsite, as well as Tesla chargers was exactly what we wanted, with the privacy of an exclusive and spacious lodge. Would definitely consider staying again in the winter. ##### Stephen Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Billie 22 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### It could be amazing, but… It has the makings of a great resort but falls short on so many levels. It’s really tired with the woodland lodges in need of a refurb. Things like loose tiles in the bathroom, faded/worn carpets / kitchen cupboards misshaped and not closing properly. Kitchen facilities in the lodge also weren’t great. No oven for cooking, no knives for chopping food, pans were dirty in the cupboard too. There were no cushions on the couches in the lodge for added comfort and a rug underfoot would have been appreciated. The staff were friendly enough but just didn’t go the extra mile where needed. We requested a high chair in the lodge for our baby but they forgot and when I asked again they said they couldn’t get one until the next day. I then suggested that maybe they could borrow from one of their 3 restaurants. They then managed to organise this but no one was available to deliver to the lodge for me. I had to carry the high chair from the hotel to the lodge whilst carrying an 8 month old baby. As I said, their were friendly, helpful when prompted but just a bit thoughtless in their delivery. Great woodland area for our little boy to explore but things like fallen fences and barbed wire should be taken care of maintenance. The team in the kids activity centre were really friendly and the pool / soft play were nice and clean. This was the reason I booked this place but I don’t think I’d return again until a refurbishment takes place. ##### Billie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### allan 17 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not our first time and not our last at the Woodland lodges.

Will definitely be back! ##### Theresa Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret-Anne 15 Mar 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### magic magic ##### Margaret-Anne Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### colin 3 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Aviemore Very comfortable although getting a little tired round the edges.

But overall a great 5 night stay ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BE35626B5038589B255614A31CC50D7BD9EB5B851645938633778.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42516489F230540AED25085CA15798AE0689D4281645938631187.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10A3097B47075631D9652E4AEA6083F9B2B202D61645938633838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lee Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Scott 31 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Lodge is a bit tired and worn e.g. kitchen units, bathroom sink etc. Could do with some refurbishment. Kids club distinctly underwhelming ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Allison 22 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The lodges are large, well situated and generally have good facilities. They are a bit tired looking now though and would benefit from some upgrading. However the standard of cleanliness was high. I would stay again taking everything into account. Had a fab holiday. ##### Allison Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond 3 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay in Aviemore 3 bedroom lodge was perfect for 4 adults and 2 dogs. Plenty of space and great that all bedrooms were en-suite. Location was great and the woodland setting was perfect ##### Raymond Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 19 Sept 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overpriced “luxury” Stayed in lodges and these must have been amazing in their day but the state of the lodge is like a run down caravan. The resort itself although clean disappointed in all areas leaving the impression that the place is looking run down. There are areas shut down. Large areas not covered by street lighting due to them not working, leaving pathways in darkness, left feeling unsafe. The lodges are next to walking route so you have meandering people walking past. The lodge itself although impressive with the en-suite rooms has a tiny kitchen for the space in the cabin, certainly wouldn’t like to cook for a cabin at capacity. There was no instructions or info left to help, perhaps email would have been good due to Covid. There were lights out in neatly every room, inside and out and walking round you could see others had similar issues. The ceiling in the rooms and bathroom are showing signs of disrepair. Toilet handles loose, mould in showers, ripped furniture, outside steps not even. Certainly not worth the money charging and looking at the hotel, wasn’t impressed so wouldn’t look to rush to book in here. ![Bathroom ceiling](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ACDAF204C5AD5C7B163CC28EF00E0A5191B42E8A1600516840303.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bathroom floor](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/527AF7B10DC2644BAC8D31B984D17A05A5FDA8DA1600516840309.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Spacious](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7B160A4F325B3B3DD2826A8EB184D67578E1A7411600516840414.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Tired kitchen](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F365D3DA82A2B756D3A756C137B82A0A18DF97E41600516840447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Sept 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Slightly dated but clean, tidy and comfortable.

Difficult situation because of COVID and check ins could have been staggered a little to avoid the queuing. Breakfast is only decent but the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. ##### colin Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Sept 2020 Clean spacious accomodation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hamza 16 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### perfect get away we stayed here for 2 nights everything was perfect nice clean and warm lodge private and secure. Got breakfast in the rooms as requested due to covid super happy ##### Hamza Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adele 14 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness #### Disappointing We booked 3 nights in the Woodland Lodge. It was extremely expensive for 3 nights and it looked nothing like the photo on the website. I spent most of my time in a queue at the hotel reception raising issues. We were supposed to have wifi, we didn't have it for the whole visit due to a router issue which they clearly knew about before we arrived, the kettle broke, the safes didn't work in two of the rooms and although check in was at 3pm we didn't get access till 5 on the first day. These lodges are very close to the A9 so there is quite a bit of noise. The staff were pleasant and tried to help but I have to say for the amount we paid for a luxury lodge we were disappointed. ##### Adele Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
