The house is huge for two people. We really loved all the space. We especially liked the wonderful garden and hot tub. Our dog was delighted to have such a big enclosed garden to run around in. The staircase to the closed upper floor was a bit creepy and filled with dusty looking artefacts. Also a couple of the furnishings were rather stained, i.e the living room footstool and bedroom table lamps which I did not expect with such a prestigious property ##### Julie P.

One of they few places we have stayed that is bigger than it looks in the photos. Lots of room for us and two dogs who especially appreciated the large enclosed garden. Well furnished and spacious rooms with a fully equipped kitchen, Hot tub was a welcome relaxation after days on the hills and house located centrally for all the amenities in Aviemore.

We stayed here for our 30th wedding anniversary and it was perfect! The house is much bigger than you would imagine for 2 people, especially the lounge, bedroom and dressing room which was fantastic. The location is the best for walking into Aviemore just 5 mins or walking from the door into the Rothiemurchus estate. We lovely the hot tub to relax in after a big walk. Can't wait to return to Riverside house garden rooms!! ##### Claire W.

It is a beautiful house with a beautiful garden and an amazing hot tub. It is quite large for two people and has everything you could possibly want. The fresh flowers, bubbly and shortbread are a very welcome touch too. The location is ideal, being just across the train tracks from the centre of Aviemore. ##### Sam H.

Loved watching the birds in the morning over breakfast and dinner, such a variety visited the feeders. Great location to explore the Cairngorms and come back and relax in the hot tub. The luxury and comfort we were looking for on this trip. The only slight criticism is the bed was a tad firm for my liking. We really hope to return, such an interesting and gorgeous place to stay.

It was so comfortable and warm and cozy. Everything we needed was provided and it was just a 2 minute walk into Aviemore which is a really nice town with everything you could need. It’s also a really good place to use as a base to visit all the other places. ##### Bryony M.

It is incredibly homely and has a very welcoming feel and gorgeous layout and features. The location is just perfect. We did not want to leave and could have stayed there forever. Our dogs loved the freedom of the secure large garden and patio areas and loved watching the birds and wildlife through the living room windows for hours. The only issue we had was no hot water for showers and the central heating was coming on in the middle of the night making it too hot to sleep. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back next year This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan D. 22 Jun 2024 #### River gardens retreat Beautiful property in a perfect location. So many different birds to watch in the garden, we were even treated to a visit from a red squirrel. The house has everything you could need and is a larger property than photos suggest. Some lovely touches too on arrival such as log fires prepared for use, a bottle of prosecco and shortbread to enjoy. Although we didn't use the hot tub it was an added bonus to a perfect home ##### Jan D.

The only negatives were how tired the accommodation looks, could do with a lick of paint and the leaky radiators could do with being fixed. Of course it adds to the charm of what is obviously a historical property. The open staircase to the rest of the house was quite eery at first! We did find the private garden to be absolutely excellent, and the newer lounge area extension was fabulous. Kitchen was also very well appointed.

Lovely garden for sitting in the sun ☀ . Very quirky design mix of mordern and old. Shame that upstairs wasn't been used. ##### Jayne P.

Amazing location- to be so close to the town but yet in the peacefulness of the garden. Spacious rooms. We love cosy nights in the lovely lounge with the log burner, watching the birds in the garden. Fabulously equipped kitchen and utility. Secluded hot tub to relax in every day after our adventures. Returning felt like coming back to our own holiday home. We love all the ‘stuff’ in and around the rooms that make it feel really lived in. Planning next years return trip! ##### Victoria B.

The location is great - quiet but a really easy walk into Aviemore or short drive along to Glenmore. The sitting room is stunning with lots of light, a log burner and a tremendous huge, comfortable sofa. The garden is lovely with lots of sitting spaces, access to the river out the back gate and the hot tub which is well maintained. Sadly, for us, the back half of the house was just too dark. There was a lack of natural light and the interior lighting is poor. We didn't spend a lot of time in the back of the house but the shower room, dressing room and bedroom could do with a little tlc. The kitchen is nice but I couldn't reach any of the hanging pans etc without a step stool and I'm not particularly short (5'5"). ##### Kirsten B.

The facilities are excellent as is the view from the lounge . The big glass windows and log fire are perfect. Our only slight issue is the description of the studio that’s within the grounds. It’s literally right outside the front door and feels slightly strange knowing someone is living there. It just makes you slightly conscious that you’re not totally alone. Given it’s advertised for romance and honeymoons, it’s just something to be mindful of and maybe a little clearer on the website. Apart from that it was perfect and we would definitely book again This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay 24 Feb 2024 #### See below A lovely setting. Main lounge was beautiful (if difficult to keep warm). House didn’t feel very clean (lots of dog hairs everywhere). A few quirky issues such as the electronic gates not working properly and the tv remotes not working (despite us replacing batteries), lack of kitchen crockery and plates etc This did not detract from a very enjoyable week but but overall place felt a bit tired and in need of some TLC. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 18 May 2024 #### Lovely lodge, perfect spot! Just returned from this lovely lodge. The place was very clean and comfortable and in a perfect location. Minutes from the street and a great pub a minutes walk away. Plenty of local walks for us and the dog with many great locations close by. Everything is provided in the lodge, great shower and constant hot water. Living area was lovely with a great view of the garden. Couldn’t really complain about anything to be honest. Possibly a bit of modernisation could be done as bits look a bit tired. Maybe a bigger tv in the main living area and a Bluetooth speaker? But we are already looking to book again next year, so there are no real complaints! Aviemore and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, everyone is incredibly friendly and highly recommended. This lodge is in the perfect spot to take advantage of it, off street parking, behind electric gates and a dog secure garden. Company were great to deal with and very helpful and efficient! We will be back, but hopefully for longer!

Excellent location only minutes walk into the centre but still very quiet and peaceful. For just two people we found it very spacious which was appreciated since we stayed for a week. The living area was fantastic with lovely views out to the garden and the wood burner was very cosy on rainy days. Gardens were lovely, plenty of space for our dog to enjoy and the hot tub was great to return to after a day out. Kitchen was well equipped and the american style fridge freezer with ice and constant cold water was nice luxury which we enjoyed. Only points for improvement we found was that the couch wasn't the comfiest for my husband and I but this is possibly due to us being very tall (too low at the back) Also, one end of the couch was broken. The shelves of the wardrobe were a bit dusty so we had to clean them before putting clothes there. Finally the bed was very firm which was quite uncomfortable for my husband but we're aware this is personal preference. Despite the minor points for improvement, we would be happy to return and would definitely recommend to others. ##### Susie R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay 29 Oct 2024 #### Claire & Ryan Beautiful place, hot tub was perfect - however upon arrive had to message the owner as ‘secure garden’ isn’t very secure. Description says there is a studio CLOSE to the property with a permanent resistant. Little does it tell you that ‘close’ means right next door and that said resistant in the studio is in and out of drive way gate for work. Out at 4pm and back in at midnight! Also not ideal when you have a baby too. Gates take up to 3 minutes to close and if your dog is reactive or unfriendly like ours it’s not very ideal. We have a 66kg Great Dane who we had to inform the resident and the owner that he doesn’t like males. Do not recommend a stay here if your dogs are nervous around males or have history of running out of open gates! We had to constantly make sure the gates were shut and the man was not in the garden before letting our dogs out. Our stay was ok but won’t be back. This ruined our honeymoon. ## 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)
