Our unit was spacious and cosy. We were so grateful to be able to check-in very early because of the storm. Our granddaughters had great fun in the pool which was very child friendly with lots of inflatable toys for them. It’s a great location to explore Aviemore and the Cairngorms. ##### Patricia Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JULIE 17 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### 2 night stay Stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, no 14 for 2 nights with family.

Would stay there again ##### JULIE Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 13 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Everything great. Beautiful location. Nature in the doorstep - like deer walking past as you’re eating your Cheerios. Map location from Expedia are a bit off. ##### Paul Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Room comfort, communication It was a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyable. Location, facilities, proximity to Aviemore town centre. Chalet is a bit tired looking internally. It was clean but someone needs to look up and remove cobwebs and dust on light fittings etc. Kitchen really well stocked. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Badal 31 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful place located inbetween mountains.

Easy check in and checkout the gym could do with an update, the Jacuzzi was being worked on but hey you dont really go to this resort for the stay more the area in my opinion. ##### nadim Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robbie 22 Jan 2024 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### Decent family weekend away Family chalets are decent, just a bit small if you have numbers. Swimming pool is great and the food for adults is really nice. The options for children could be better. Staff were friendly but some bar staff a bit useless. ![Cosy winter lodge](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B22D69BEDB63D14167009BA43E37A7FCD6B91E0E1705916509138.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robbie Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hot tub lodge with stunning view](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taynuilt-Hotels-Hot-Tub-Lodge-With-Stunning-Lodge.h59769535.Hotel-Information) > > [Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-Strathburn-Hotel-Inverurie-By-Compass-Hospitality.h12578746.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Oban Regent Hotel - Refurbished](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Muthu-Oban-Regent-Hotel-Refurbished.h1419323.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Hotel Peebles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peebles-Hotels-The-Park-Hotel-Peebles.h13177753.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The Millcroft Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Millcroft-Hotel.h35254076.Hotel-Information) > > [The Esplanade Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-OYO-The-Esplanade-Hotel.h6467698.Hotel-Information) > > [The Georgian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coatbridge-Hotels-The-Georgian-Hotel.h29468483.Hotel-Information) > > [Tigh Mor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Tigh-Mor.h23064993.Hotel-Information) > > [Rusacks St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Rusacks-St-Andrews.h21486.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Inverness.h20408.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-The-Station-Hotel.h4564713.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Lomond Waterfront Luxury Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Waterfront-Luxury-Lodges.h27365911.Hotel-Information) > > [Highgrove House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmarnock-Hotels-Highgrove-House-Hotel.h29841477.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Aberdeen West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Aberdeen-West.h1583000.Hotel-Information) > > [UHI Inverness – Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Cityheart-Inverness-Campus-Accommodation.h18692953.Hotel-Information) > > [Crieff Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crieff-Hotels-Crieff-Hydro.h574583.Hotel-Information) > > [Myrtle Bank Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Myrtle-Bank-Hotel.h20233396.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Dumfries Cargenholm House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-Mercure-Dumfries-Cargenholm-House.h78392936.Hotel-Information) > > [Raven’s Cliff, Motherwell by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Ravens-Cliff.h23151361.Hotel-Information) > > [Metro Inns Falkirk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falkirk-Hotels-OYO-Metro-Inns-Falkirk.h22202528.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Squirrel, Stevenston by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stevenston-Hotels-Red-Squirrel.h31884764.Hotel-Information) > > [Bentley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel.h32118669.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochgreen House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-Lochgreen-House-Hotel.h12755818.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lauriston Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardrossan-Hotels-The-Lauriston-Hotel.h1835011.Hotel-Information) > > [Buccleuch Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Buccleuch-Arms-Hotel-Restaurant.h5436640.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fox And Willow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-The-Fox-And-Willow.h4563123.Hotel-Information) ---
