The property itself and resort is very dated and needs some money spent to give it some life. When I went in I immediately had to hoover as the carpet was covered in dog hair. I have a crawling baby!! The shower trickled so I needed to use a jug to wash my hair. The hair dryer cut out after 30 seconds. The beds were comfy and the surroundings were peaceful although the cabins are meters apart. There was a lack of privacy as the dining space of our cabin looked into the dining space of next doors. Other notable issues, old electric radiators which became very hot (needed heating on although it was summer). One was positioned at the foot of my son’s bed which wasn’t safe, and above the other single bed there was a blind with metal ball cord that is not child safe. The oven door didn’t shut properly. When looking on various sites it said there was no capacity for a cot however I easily fitted a blow up toddler bed for my baby in the main bedroom so this, and high chairs should be offered to make the stay less hassle for guests. I think a lot needs to be updated to make the facilities and cabins worth the £800 we paid for 4 nights here. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and I thought it was a lovely meal but a bit expensive. The swimming pool facilities were good. Toilets in main building could be updated and cleaner. The play park could be freshened up with a coat of paint. I would say in its current state it would be a push to say it’s even 3 stars! Not worth the money.

Individual Cabins in the woods, surrounded by water and wildlife. Great experience. A car is needed as although the town is not far it is not really accessible by walking. Would definitely stay there again.

Run down wooden shack

Location and setting are good. Lodge 41 was a disgrace, bathroom had black mold patches poorly painted over rusty shower curtain rail. Lodge had what can only be described as a funky smell in it with a do not smoke car air freshener hanging from the Livingroom light to disguise this. Previous occupant must have had a large hairy dog going by the amount of dog hair everywhere. Outside the lodge was dirty with loads of cigarette ends lying around. There is a wooden walkway over the lochan that is not safe to use but is not very well blocked off. There are no fish in the Lochan as they are still waiting on a delivery.

Spring holiday

We had an enjoyable stay at the property, there were a few little issues but nothing to put us off coming back. The cold water tap in the bath didn’t work so had to use cold water from the sink to put in a bath, the rubber edging round the oven door had come off and was loose in the oven, some of the equipment /trays for the oven also weren’t the right size to be able to cook on. The property is slightly dated and could do with a little bit of TLC. Overall though and enjoyable stay

I arrived here on January the 2nd at night for a 3 night stay with my wife and 15month old baby. The uk as a whole having a very cold weather snap with weather warnings in place,- 3 to be exact with significant snow fall. On arrival I was asked for a credit card in case of any damage I might do to the cabin, seemed an odd introduction with not much information care or attention taken to welcome us to the resort. On entering the cabin there was no heating on which on inspection turned out to be electrical panel heaters that had seen better days, the building was damp as it of course had obviously lay vacant with no heating to heat the fabric and make up of the building resulting in a damp smell and unbearable damp cold rooms. This then instantly felt like a survival situation to turn on all the heating and figure out how to set the heating with a small baby in the freezing cold, not quite what I had intended for a wee family break. I might add that this is very poor and although my wife did mention to them a day later and they had assured us it was not correct and it should have been on for our arrival, the very first thing that was mentioned on arrival at reception was a credit card and how because it was an Expedia online booking we didn’t need to worry about an electrical bill payment! Call me suspicious but it evident that it’s there protocol to save money. Lastly the roads and paths no salt or clearing just black ice everywhere! Very dangerous!

So peaceful!

The peace & quiet here was amazing! Other guests were respectful & the only noise in the morning was the ducks looking for food. Our lodge was dated but comfortable. There were a few minor issues but nothing that affected our stay. So in summary the accommodation is not luxurious but the location & setting are wonderful if it’s a quiet break you are looking for.

This place was absolutely terrible, smells awful, black mold everywhere, entire chalet was dirty. Hair all over the bed sheets, and given the opportunity to even give a partial refund the property refused!! The chalet is a health hazard and I cannot fathom how such a once beautiful property has become so rundown!!

Great place for 2 nights after we were let down elsewhere but the whole place is a bit tired, I wouldn't really call it a resort, it's just a few static caravans around a duck pond but good location for visiting Aviemore and Cairngorms.

Expensive for what it is. Shabby and worn out

To start check-in not until 5pm which seems late to me. (Only saw this once booked) Told a fee to check in early. (Which was steep) Place was freezing when we entered with no heating on. Which must be a knock on effect for the place smelling damp/musky. It did heat up ok eventually. Was very shabby inside and worn out. Kitchenette was in good condition, but only highlighted more that everything else wasn’t. Sofa bed once folded out was dirty and had dog hairs on and in it. Had to be made up ourselves which we understand why, but clearly isn’t folded out and checked. Also the sofabed mattress being thin, is also clearly very much used and in need of replacing. The springs on such a thin mattress are easily felt when new, but on this one there were several that are past their best and sore to lay on. The overall cleanliness was ok considering the condition. More dog hairs in second bedroom. Bathroom was a bit grubby. What we paid was very expensive for what we stayed in. Wouldn’t return, which is a shame as it just needs a refresh.

Accommodation needs a facelift

Negatives: There was an overwhelming damp/off smell when we first entered the apartment which I later discovered came from the vacuum cleaner when I used it. The bathroom light and hot water tap didn't work and the duvet for the sofa bed had a yellow stain on it. The "free kids club" is a run down cabin in which you pay £1 per game of pool (don't expect chalk). There are no plug sockets beside the bedroom mirror/dressing table. The bar area was always empty. Positives: The area is fantastic. My kids loved feeding the ducks and walking around the grounds finding the assault course, as they called it. The kitchenette was well equipped. The pool is ok. It was peaceful and really lovely to be surrounded by nature. We used the accommodation more as a base for discovering attractions nearby. However, had the restaurant been open or if there were better amenities indoors (for when the weather was poor) then we might have spent more time at the resort.
