"Great holiday which was thoroughly enjoyed by all."

9.0

The lodge was excellent and in a good central location in Aviemore. I would highly recommend and I will definitely be returning.

The kitchen is a little small and doesn't have all the amenities.

We loved the lodge and it was very nice. However there was no wood in the lodge and my partner had to go to reception to get more. There was also no coffee pods however they had a coffee machine.

The staff were not helpful at the front desk, no coffee pods or wood. We were also told we had breakfast included however this was not.

"Accommodation not up to standard for this price, but great location"

6.0

Spacious rooms and good location away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Easy access to town centre and the rest of area. Everything further (Cairngorms, lochs, etc) is within a short car trip away.

The lodge was dated and decor in desperate need of help, carpets thread bare on the stairs. Flooring in the kitchen felt like you might fall through (obviously a leak in the past but floorboards not replaced). Asking others staying adjacent, they said the same thing that the walls were generally discoloured, dining seats and three-seater sofas were disgustingly stained and dirty. Overall this is not the level you'd expect at this price.

Liked the setting of the lodges and underfloor heating in bathrooms. Lodge was clean. Liked the pool facilities and activity centre for the kids. Pizzas were great out of the Italian restaraunt.

Lodge was very shabby. Leak in shower, kitchen tap needs attention, frayed curtains, couch in very poor condition, coffee machine supplied but no pods included, kichen area tiny for 3 bed lodge and very old furniture. Lodge design is great and has potential to be stunning, if they were only updated! My daughter stayed in family room in hotel beside the tesco and her description of the room was 'grim' . My 6 year old Grandson's description of the room was 'it looks like a haunted house' . Italian restaurant only did takeaway, tried to get meal in restaurant beside expensive shopping area only to be told its for tour groups only.. Adventure park needs attention also. This break away was for my 60th birthday with family and I had booked it but felt quite embarrassed about our stay. Local amenities and activities outside the resort made our stay tolerable.
