The open-plan living space boasts contemporary delight, where you can enjoy cosying up on the sofas with your family and friends after a day of rambling in the Cairngorms National Park.

In winter months there are wood burning stoves offering welcoming warmth.
Golden Eagle Lodge has three bedrooms, one ground-floor king-size, and a first-floor king-size and twin that each have their own balconies. If requested in advance the lodge can sleep up to 8 guests using the double sofa bed in the living area. A contemporary and accessible ground-floor shower room and a family bathroom on the first floor serve as fabulous places to freshen up. With excellent outdoor space and being situated within a National Park, Golden Eagle Lodge is a perfect retreat away from a busy world. EPC Rating: Band B

Great for peace and quiet but close enough to some fantastic walks and activities.

The lodge was extremely comfortable and welcoming. Being in a remote woodland setting, we also got to experience spotting wildlife, including a Pine Marten, Hare and Badger which was a bonus! Our only criticism would be that we didn't bring any pets but it was clear from dog hair on the sofa that pets had previously stayed in the lodge and the sofa wasn't hoovered properly. Although not a big issue for us it could be for other guests, especially if they have allergies.
