Guests say
Battanropie Lodge is highly praised for its stunning location, ideal for exploring the Cairngorms with woodland walks accessible from the doorstep. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, secure garden, and spacious, comfortable rooms. The property is warm and inviting, with special touches like a Christmas hamper adding to the experience. While most feedback is positive, a minor note on bed comfort and cleanliness of an appliance was mentioned.
Guests generally found the house spotless and well-maintained, though one review mentioned a dirty electric cooker. This seems to be an isolated incident, not reflective of the overall high standards.
The lodge's location is consistently lauded for its proximity to attractions, lovely walks, and the secure garden for pets. Its setting by the river and woodland walks across the road is particularly appreciated.
The lodge is described as warm with plenty of hot water and comfortable communal spaces. However, one review mentioned a creaky and uncomfortable bed in the twin room, slightly impacting the score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms, and a utility room for dogs. The mention of a dirty cooker suggests a need for attention to appliance maintenance.
The provision of a Christmas hamper and decorations indicates thoughtfulness. While such gestures are warmly received, it's important to note that these are special touches and may not be a standard offering for every stay.

Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate available on request. Welcome pack.. Enclosed lawned garden with patio and garden furniture. Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. Battanropie Lodge is an outstanding holiday property with so much space for a family or group of six. It is in a favourite spot in the Cairngorms National Park in lovely Carrbridge. The village has a couple of fantastic cafés and a couple of bars and restaurants too. Plus, there is an 18-hole golf course in the village, which is very little played. Just a short walk from the house is a brilliant woodland walk to take the dogs on, and it offers a great chance to spot rare British wildlife including the ptarmigan, red squirrel and even an osprey if you are lucky.
Battanropie Lodge is a large house set within its own enclosed grounds, perfect for the dogs to roam and explore. The rear of the garden runs down to the river and is fenced off and there is plenty of outdoor seating space on the rear patio. Inside the property there is a spacious open plan living space with loads of light coming in from dual aspect windows. The spacious kitchen area has a fabulous Aga and separate oven and hob for cooking, and the utility room attached to the kitchen has a large fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and door to the garden and there is also a separate toilet on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are three large bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and enjoys views towards the river and woodland, the second double bedroom also enjoys the same great views, while the third bedroom has twin beds and there is also a family bathroom which has a walk-in shower as well as a bath.
You can explore something different every day from Carrbridge when you venture further afield. The Cairngorm Mountains are to the south east, and the gateway from Aviemore is a classic day trip. Loch Garten and the Abernethy Forest, where BBC Winterwatch was recently filmed, are close by to the east. The north east offers the great Spey valley, with numerous world-class fly fishing opportunities, as well as countless distilleries to nip into for a wee dram or two. The north offers the bright lights of charming Inverness and the Moray Firth with huge sandy beaches not far away at Nairn and further north of Inverness at Rosemarkie on the Black Isle. To the west you have more wild country, different from the Cairngorms but showing the vast wilderness of the Scottish Highlands nonetheless. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

Excellent stay in Carrbridge. Lovely walks from the doorstep. The cottage was clean, confortable and extremelywell equipped.. The large garden was enclosed and private, which was ideal for the dogs. Very sad to leave and hope to be back in the future.
