Individual Cabins in the woods, surrounded by water and wildlife. Great experience. A car is needed as although the town is not far it is not really accessible by walking. Would definitely stay there again.

Spring holiday

We had an enjoyable stay at the property, there were a few little issues but nothing to put us off coming back. The cold water tap in the bath didn’t work so had to use cold water from the sink to put in a bath, the rubber edging round the oven door had come off and was loose in the oven, some of the equipment /trays for the oven also weren’t the right size to be able to cook on. The property is slightly dated and could do with a little bit of TLC. Overall though and enjoyable stay

The property itself and resort is very dated and needs some money spent to give it some life. When I went in I immediately had to hoover as the carpet was covered in dog hair. I have a crawling baby!! The shower trickled so I needed to use a jug to wash my hair. The hair dryer cut out after 30 seconds. The beds were comfy and the surroundings were peaceful although the cabins are meters apart. There was a lack of privacy as the dining space of our cabin looked into the dining space of next doors. Other notable issues, old electric radiators which became very hot (needed heating on although it was summer). One was positioned at the foot of my son’s bed which wasn’t safe, and above the other single bed there was a blind with metal ball cord that is not child safe. The oven door didn’t shut properly. When looking on various sites it said there was no capacity for a cot however I easily fitted a blow up toddler bed for my baby in the main bedroom so this, and high chairs should be offered to make the stay less hassle for guests. I think a lot needs to be updated to make the facilities and cabins worth the £800 we paid for 4 nights here. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and I thought it was a lovely meal but a bit expensive. The swimming pool facilities were good. Toilets in main building could be updated and cleaner. The play park could be freshened up with a coat of paint. I would say in its current state it would be a push to say it’s even 3 stars! Not worth the money.

Great place for 2 nights after we were let down elsewhere but the whole place is a bit tired, I wouldn't really call it a resort, it's just a few static caravans around a duck pond but good location for visiting Aviemore and Cairngorms.

Great Stay

Great location . Chalet a bit tired and perhaps a more thorough clean of the wooden walls ( very dusty ) lacking a couple of essential kitchen utensils but not a huge issue and reception informed on checkout . All staff we came across were lovely . Will certainly return as great location for the dog

Great wee place!

We had a lovely stay at lochanhully and can't fault much at all. The only thing I'd say would be that the mattresses could do with updating & it was a shame that the bar/restaurant wasn't open.

Lovely cabin in great location

Location is great. Little things only - A bit litter around the cabin outside area, a few bits of cutlery dirty, cabin needs a bit of an upgrade, a few bulbs not working, grit or salt on walkway, some facilities not available. Still an overall great experience.

This place was absolutely terrible, smells awful, black mold everywhere, entire chalet was dirty. Hair all over the bed sheets, and given the opportunity to even give a partial refund the property refused!! The chalet is a health hazard and I cannot fathom how such a once beautiful property has become so rundown!!

It was a nice place

The only annoying thing was there was only a single bed and a double bed made up. We had to make up the sofa bed and the single pull out. They knew there were two children. Apart from that it was fine and had everything we needed. We were busy throughout the day so we left the sofa bed up.

It's a great location, in amongst the woods. Chalets are nice, but quite run-down and not especially clean. Staff are good, but pool was not working (not communicated at booking), some things were not working in chalets, and it was quite dirty in places (flies, mould in bathroom, hairs on bedding, etc). For the price, it was ok though.

Excellent setting, cabins in need of some updating

The setting was lovely. And the cabins were not too close to each other. Our cabin was ok, but a bit shabby. Sofa was not comfortable and broken. The second single bed was not set up and as we wanted to use it we were expected to put it up ourselves and make the bed.
