Only fault's were the cleanliness of the villa, needs a good day of dusting and a general tidy up of the villa, looking a bit tired in a lot of areas, otherwise was a fabulous place to stay, and great value for money would recommend this villa to anyone This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 4 Aug 2024 #### Booked again for next year already... 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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful walks from the doorstep . Just down the road from a wonderful pub with roaring fire with very friendly staff. The cottage was well equipped and rooms well proportioned . Loved the woodburner in bedroom and the hottub was so relaxing after walking all day . The snow made our stay even more magical . Thank you ##### Jacqueline W.

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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 2 Dec 2024 #### River Garden room The pictures do not do this place justice and it is even more stunning in person. 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 #### Victoria B. 22 Oct 2023 #### Home from home This is the second time we have stayed at the garden rooms, because we loved it so much! 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. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 10 Feb 2024 #### Great place Just had a great week at the cottage. 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. ### 8/10 Good #### Kirsten B. 11 Sept 2024 #### Great location - lovely sitting room and garden We had a lovely stay at River House Garden Rooms. 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. 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.

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.

This property is very unusual, guests rooms occupy the bottom part of the house with far reaching views across the gardens down to the river. Great location very close to the town centre but also located in a very quiet area. The Kitchen had an excellent range and big fridge but lacked some of the things that us as keen cooks missed. Particularly a good set of sharp knives and good size dinner plates this side let the otherwise well equipped kitchen down. The halls and bedroom and dressing room are very dark and the access by stairs to the upper floors although blocked off was weird and a bit spooky. So sad that the rest of the house is unoccupied. The hot tub was a delight and serviced regularly during our visit. Bed was very comfortable but dark carpets show up every speck throughout the property which is not ideal. Our two Dachshunds loved the garden which was very well secured for them, electric gates good idea but a bit temperamental. To sum up we had a lovely stay on balance in this lovely part of the world.

Perfect location and enclosed garden ideal for two dogs. A place to relax with everything you need close by. ## 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) ---
