The Old Ministers House was ideal for us all. The property exceeded our expectations and was exactly as described. Very clean & spacious with quality furniture & furnishings. All linen & towels, dish towels & wash up supplies are all provided as are robes for the hot tub which we all enjoyed. The fresh flowers & shortbread were a lovely touch. There was a minor maintenance issue which was attended to right away. The location is very convenient for all the activities you might want to do. Overall a very enjoyable stay for us all. We would highly recommend this property.

Well equipped for self catering. Any queries are dealt with quickly and efficiently by the team at great north lodges. The hot tube was an added bonus. The bedroom with annex has excellent king bed , but the annex has bunks not that suitable for adults( up to young teens really ). Parking ample for 5 cars, covered area for bike storage (however this doesn't have a lockable door). Well situated next door to a cafe and farm shop and within easy drive or walk to Aviemore, road and cycle paths on your doorstep and easy access to lots of walking areas. the only slight drawback is the surrounding grounds are gravelled and mature bushes , no grassy area for young children, but areas available across the road. The river is not accessible from the house so safe for children . Over all 1 of the best properties we have used in this area. ##### daniel c.

As a party of 10 adults we spent a long weekend there. The house feels like a 'home' and is warm, comfortable and well appointed. The hot tub was well used, especially by those after crossing the bridge at the rear of the house and going for a dip in the river! The location is great to take advantage of the trails leading from the car park opposite into the Rothiemurchus estate, the walking/cycling trail to or from Loch Morlich/Aviemore, or there was the bus option too for any non walkers/cyclists. We will certainly return. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 25 Feb 2025 #### House was wonderful for a group made up of 4 families... Loved the house, ideal location and plenty of space. The hot tub area outside was lovely and overlooking the river was bliss. Easy to walk into Aviemore or drive up to Cairngorm mountain. Utility and boot room perfect for skis, boots and drying clothes. Clean bathrooms, bedding and towels but the general cleanliness was not great overall - ovens, dishes and cutlery not cleaned very well and toys under the coffee table from previous residents. Not hoovered behind doors etc... I'm guessing the house is too big to be cleaned thoroughly in the 10am - 4pm window between bookings with the size of the cleaning team (?)

Communication prior to stay was excellent. On arrival it was clean and well appointed. The house and garden area was lovely with beautiful view. The suite at the rear was particularly impressive. Lovely hot tub area and the fairly lights a nice touch. Great location for exploring and adventures. Would highly recommend and would stay again. ##### Derek W. ### 4/10 Poor #### Thomas D. 23 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### A good spot but it's starting to run down. The basic setup here is fantastic. Really well situated, and at a point in the past the property was clearly set up to be ideal. Since then it looks like things have begun to run down in the way that any short term let always does eventually. Things to keep an eye out for: Every knife and utensil has a better than 50/50 chance of being blunt or broken. The vast majority of the hob won't light, so avoid planning to cook for the property's capacity. Not all appliances will be working. Expect one dishwasher rather than the two, or if you're in our position, half a dishwasher as the only working one will have its runners trashed. Be very careful handling the kitchen tap, which has not been properly fixed. Any battery powered items like scales probably won't have a battery. The hot tub will be available, but only on the second day of your stay. When we stayed, we were told immediately that the previous guests had been particularly rowdy, and that their stay had necessitated an extra house cleaner for a day, if that's the case they did a good job, and I was initially under the impression that our experience was a bit of a one off. Unfortunately, when I contacted the host about the above issues, they opted to tell me that my group \*also\* necessitated an extra house cleaner before sending me a picture of a slightly damaged stool neither me nor my guests have ever seen. Either we have been mixed with the previous group, or this is a standard tactic. Take many pictures. ##### Thomas D.

Great location, large comfortable house. Had a fee glitches with the oven as the door would not stay closed, the light at the outside eating area was not working. Had a brilliant time and hope to be back next year. ##### Colette M.

The house is very well situated and equipped, with plenty of space and very comfortable. Couple of small points, the beds could do with larger sheets as the current ones are a bit small so constantly come untucked. Also the oven door doesnt close properly so lets out a lot of heat impacting cooking times and some of the hobs on the stove wouldnt light.

Location ideal with plenty of activities on the doorstep.

Let me first say, the location of this property cannot be beaten if you want to be in the heart of everything that is going on around the Cairngorms. The house was spacious, comfortable and clean. Has the most amazing boot/drying room for anyone sharing this house on a ski trip I would imagine it would be perfect. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Will have to come back in the summer months and enjoy sitting by the river on my balcony.

It was only a short walk into the centre of Aviemore. Lots of walking and cycle tracks around the lodge. The hot tub and BBQ area was a great hit with all the family. Plenty of spaces for 4 cars to park This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sue W. 25 Mar 2024 #### Fantastic location and a beautiful place to stay. We have stayed in Aviemore many times over the last 50 years and this house was superior to all the rest. It is very comfortable , spacious and well equipped. It was not cheap but we shared the cost with 5 other couples, making it affordable. I would not hesitate to return and would recommend to our friends and family . ##### Sue W.

Walking trails roundabout. Hot tub was superb. Just a fantastic space in general. Farm shop with food and gifts next door, also ‘Tree Tops’ right next door which would be a great activity to book in advance. Only recommendation - would’ve been nice if kindling was available for the fire and logs were cut small enough to fit the stove!

The house was very spacious, clean and accommodated our family well. The location is fabulous with plenty of walking options directly from the house but was still close enough to Aviemore Centre. The garden with hot tub was also great with plenty of seating however, the seating at the riverside at the back of the house could do with being replaced as it was in pretty poor condition. Also, we used the BBQ on the Sunday for lunch however, the drip tray underneath the BBQ had not be cleaned and therefore the BBQ caught on fire which could have been a disaster if we hadn’t managed to disconnect the gas and remove from the outside hut, as had we not done that the hut would most likely have gone on fire. Also, we hadn’t managed to cook all of the food at that point which was a bit disappointing. We therefore called the maintenance person who attended within 20 minutes who apologised for the inconvenience as the BBQ should have been fit for use. However, we understand that this was an omission, I.e. ensuring that the drip tray was clean. Therefore, based on our experience I would not locate the BBQ itself within the he hut/seating area. Overall, I would certainly recommend this property as we did really enjoy our stay and think that both the house and location are fabulous. ##### Angela B.

Nice seating area outside aswell. Plenty room for parking 4 cars. Definitely would return to this property. ##### fraser This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 23 Jul 2023 #### A fabulous stay A great stay in a terrific location. The house was big enough to fit the four of our families with plenty space remaining. We didn't feel at any point cramped or living on top of one and other. Aviemore has plenty of things to do and amenities for any length of holiday but this was the ideal house in which to stay. The only area I'd ask for consideration of review would be the time to get into the property- 1700 is somewhat late on in the day. The check out time of 1000 is also pretty early. Otherwise it was perfect.

The accommodation is excellent for big family gatherings. We had 12 staying and could have had 3 more as some beds weren’t used. The only let down was the outside area. The furniture is very disappointing and the gravel at the picnic tables make it unsuitable for a wheelchair. Having said that though, there’s nothing we’ve found that ticks all our boxes like the Old Ministers House so we hope to be back next year. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Golden Jubilee Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clydebank-Hotels-Golden-Jubilee-Hotel.h664349.Hotel-Information) > > [Moffat Manor Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Manor-Country-Park.h17709438.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fenwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmarnock-Hotels-The-Fenwick-Hotel.h80930.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh - Queensferry Crossing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Queensferry-Crossing.h1152983.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromlix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenisle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Glenisle-Hotel.h2810774.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Melfort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Loch-Melfort-Hotel.h520255.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow East Kilbride by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-East-Kilbride.h520428.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Queen-Of-The-Loch-By-Marstons-Inns.h33716771.Hotel-Information) > > [Auchrannie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Auchrannie-Resort.h4140916.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Glasgow-Hotels-Gleddoch-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h1502522.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tarbet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-The-Tarbet-Hotel.h13407451.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Portpatrick-Hotel.h13430754.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Huntingtower Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Huntingtower-Perth.h859382.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Busby-Hotel.h10004759.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairngorm Lodge Youth Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Cairngorm-Lodge-Youth-Hostel.h1853990.Hotel-Information) > > [Portavadie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tighnabruaich-Hotels-Portavadie.h11974275.Hotel-Information) > > [Onich Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-Onich-Hotel.h48439952.Hotel-Information) > > [Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Kilbride-Hotels-Seamill-Hydro-Hotel-Resort.h1818213.Hotel-Information) > > [Bowfield Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone-Hotels-Bowfield-Hotel-Country-Club.h1796965.Hotel-Information)
