The Lookout was an ideal house for our family break. It accommodated 6 adults, one child, one baby and 2 dogs easily. The layout meant that everyone had plenty of space to do whatever they wanted without always feeling like they were in someone else's way. The hot tub was well used, despite the heatwave conditions and there are some lovely and interesting walks very close to the property. There's loads to do in Aviemore and the surrounding area and we'll be back.
