We had a great stay at Croftside House. The location in Aviemore was great, just a short walk from the amenities within the town. The house was very comfortable, with everything you could expect and need. The provision of a hot meal in the slow cooker was fantastic after a long drive. Particularly enjoyed the hot tub and games room.
