This centre had everything we needed. Our unit was spacious and cosy. We were so grateful to be able to check-in very early because of the storm. Our granddaughters had great fun in the pool which was very child friendly with lots of inflatable toys for them. It’s a great location to explore Aviemore and the Cairngorms.

It was a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyable. Location, facilities, proximity to Aviemore town centre. Chalet is a bit tired looking internally. It was clean but someone needs to look up and remove cobwebs and dust on light fittings etc. Kitchen really well stocked.

Love Aviemore so booked the Spey valley lodges. The lodges are starting to look quite run down, especially the outside with peeling paint. The inside is a little dated but was clean enough. One of the single beds had no bottom sheet on it and a dead spider lying between blanket.Obviously this bed was not made up fresh. Check in is 5pm and checkout was 10am I find this utterly ridiculous. I did enjoy the onsite restaurant and bar. Staff were nice. I would come again but not at the prices they charge and checking should be earlier.

Had a great stay with my family in one of the cabins. A nice location just a short walk from the main area of Aviemore and a variety of good trails for walking/cycling/running. The cabin had all the facilities I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Decent family weekend away

Family chalets are decent, just a bit small if you have numbers. Swimming pool is great and the food for adults is really nice. The options for children could be better. Staff were friendly but some bar staff a bit useless.
Cosy winter lodge
