Set in the picturesque Cairngorms, the unit was spacious and well equipped and is located in a beautifully kept resort with easy walk to shops, and the Aviemore Railway station - part of The Strathsprey Steam Rail route. The area offers many great walks. After being on the road for a few weeks we really appreciated the guest laundry. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful when we had an issue with one of the machines. Communication and access to the property were smooth and easy.

A hidden gem just 2 minute gentle stroll from a lovely village. Lovely welcome and a super friendly feel. Really thoughtfully renovated leaving the old world charm intact but with modern convenience. We were treated to the piper on the bridgas we headed out for dinnin the village. We had a gorgeous breakfast looking out over the lawn and the deer walking through the garden was the icing on the cake.

We had the most lovely stay at Silverglades! We booked "Deluxe two bedroom - no pets" and ended up with the cutest little cottage in the perfect location. It backed onto the farmers fields and we woke up to the sheep's and cows grazing each morning, as well as an uninterrupted view of the mountains. The cottage was equipped with all that we needed for our 5 nights. Can't wait to make it back someday.

The property was beautiful, in a perfect spot to base yourself if hiking into the hills nearby! Room was clean and comfortable, perfect for our two night stay. Pub connected to the hotel was so cosy, great food and great atmosphere. Me and my partner are both vegan, and the staff were very accommodating and made sure we hade breakfast options! Was a lovely stay, will definitely be returning.

Excellent site. The pod was perfect with a fridge, kettle and microwave. Site was immaculate. The toilet block and shower rooms were very well kept. There are loads of activities on and off site for families or individuals do do. We were sorry that we were only staying one night. This site is so good that a longer stay is warranted to see and do everything.

I had imagined Aviemore to be an old town like Pitlochry and Dunkeld, but in fact all the buildings in the Main Street seem to be fairly new, apart from the railway station. It has lots of shops selling outdoor clothing, and is not very attractive architecturally.

We went to Ballater to be close to Balmoral Castle, where we went to an artisans market on the grounds. We were there in October, so opening of other parts of the castle were not available, due to royal residence use. I would return to this beautiful part of Scotland again if given the chance, to see more of the castle.

The countryside in autumn was spectacular. There are lots of local walks to suit different levels of fitness. The Spey is nearby so iconic itself and for the whisky distilleries along its banks. Interesting local shops. Fresh local produce. Nice folk. Close enough for trips to the Moray Coast and Cairngorms. Golf, fishing, garden nurseries all in easy reach.

Kingussie is ideal for people who want beautiful walks or a bit of climbing or cycling. There’s a fantastic bike shop called Bothy Bikes where you can hire e- bikes to explore the area. The scenery in this area is outstandingly beautiful. There is the potential to see local wildlife if you are quiet.

Boat of Garten is a small village which has some good features and services, including a pub, a village store, pizza shop, art gallery and historic railway station. It is well located in relation to forest walks and other outdoor activities. For any significant shopping you needs to travel nearby Aviemore, 4.5 miles away. We preferred the peace and quiet of Boat of Garten for our stay in the area.

Nestled amongst the mountains with paths and tracks leading all over what’s not to like? Sadly, the general facilities here have gone. No shop for example. One place did have a sign out for coffee, but there could be an opportunity here for someone. Worth climbing up the Cateran Trail heading south to get stunning views looking down on the village. Also visit the stone circle, old bridge and the church. Just soak up the atmosphere!
