Lovely cozy room in a cheerfully decorated and quiet building; I loved the freshly baked cookies on arrival and the comfy armchair. Check-in was effortless with instructions sent well in advance; bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely and hot.

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.

The hotel room was modern and extremely clean, beautiful decoration and fully equipped with anything you might need for a comfortable stay. We first arrived for one night and ended up staying 3 instead. At the ground floor there is an excellent restaurant and a great pub that are open all week long. The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The location allows for plenty of fee parking options, and it was near all the best spots around. Definitely recommended!

This property is amazing! Absolutely beautiful location with the most amazing hosts. A very tastefully decorated property keeping with its heritage and lovely bathroom products supplied. The food is all 100% plant based which I was a little hesitant about however everything we ate was just delicious.

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!
