The hotel is in an old building but beautifully renovated. The rooms are clean, nice and refreshingly designed and decorated, the shower is large and spacious and the bed is really comfortable and big, we had a great night sleep. Close to the beautiful town of Aviemore where you can find restaurants, Cafe’s, stores and supermarkets. We stayed for one night only but could stay much longer! Very recommended!

First of all the house itself looks like it's straight out of a fairytale, from the outside and inside. It is magnificently decorated, just stunning. Nick, the host, was just as legendary as the house and made us feel like honored guests in a royal household while somehow also being charming and giving us personal attention. The restaurant was a delight, looking into the beautiful woods through glass walls and the food was delicious and plentiful.

The town is small, peaceful and quiet but a tourist attraction (mainly holiday goers) so it had all the services and facilities we needed. It’s also in the middle of the highlands, with many, many activities, attractions and beautiful nature all around. It’s also a few hours drive from other Highland locations, such as Loch Ness, Fort William, Inverness, Glencoe, Isle of Skye (which we didn’t visit because it’s 3 hours away and I had little kids). We stayed for a week in Aviemore but we could have stayed more since everyday was filled with activity and interesting things to do.

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.

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.

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!
