Lovely pod; everything good quality, new and clean. Was great to have our own toilet and shower, plus kitchen with kettle, toaster, microwave oven, fridge and freezer shelf. Towels were provided and beds made up. There is also a locked cupboard accessed from outside to store other items in. Nice and quiet camp with play area for kids. Well maintained site. Owner is very friendly and helpful and is always around keeping everything well maintained. From the site it’s easy to reach the main village of Aviemore which has shops, eateries and a Tesco. Also not far from Rothiemurchus which has numerous different outdoor activities. A bit further on there are great views from the Cairngorm mountains where you can ski in the winter and during summer there is tubing, plus funicular that goes further up the mountain. Would recommend.

A lovely wee quiet campsite between Carrbridge and Aviemore, which was an ideal base for visiting family in Inverness over the Easter weekend. The glamping pod was more spacious than expected and very nice inside. Only criticism is that the bunk bed was very high and only had a small side barrier so we didn’t feel comfortable letting our 6 year old sleep on the top bunk by herself. Really close to Aviemore which has all you need for groceries etc. would definitely stay again.
