I love this place! We have stayed here 4 or 5 times now. The location is amazing and I love breakfasting with the ducks. We had a couple of issues when we arrived and the owners sorted them straight away. Excellent customer service!

Nicely located chalet with Aviemore town just a short walk away, the views of the mountains and river behind the chalet are lovely! , sadly however we found the main double bed the mattress was uncomfortable not much sleep was had, the sofas were also uncomfortable, Overall the chalet was good a new mattress and some new sofas would make all the difference..

Our first time in this Lodge and hope to return. Excellent position on banks of The Spey, very quiet location and short walk/drive to Aviemore centre-with a Tesco/Aldi etc! Good communication from owner.
