Very good

Nice quiet location. Very much enjoyed ducks around the property and tranquil setting. Pool was available and that was a bonus.
Advised to bring toilet rolls and towels which were in the property.
Lodges are dated. Hot tap in lodge 16 was more of a dribble.
WiFi was reasonable and free.

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.

Such good value we loved it. It was even better than we expected. People running the place are lovely too.
My son loved the swimming pool, good location, plenty walk routes to enjoy. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend.
Clean and quiet.
Firstly, this was for sure overpriced place. surprisingly check in was 5 pm! where as for check out, there people started waiting outside our wood cabin at 9.50 am! area is very remote so there wasn't any mobile network. Furthermore, wifi didn't work throughout our stay of 3 nights. I kept calling them again and again with in person visit to front office and asking for someone to come and fix wifi. even after giving assurances nothing was done and wifi never worked. even wifi was totally out in surrounding cabins as well. furniture seems to be too old and needs an upgrade. house rule seems like army rules. they block the money on your card to charge you for any small damage for such an old furniture/fixtures. it wasn't worth for the money we paid, especially such a remote location and inconsiderate staff. WASTE OF MONEY..

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.

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 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.

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.

So peaceful!
The peace & quiet here was amazing! Other guests were respectful & the only noise in the morning was the ducks looking for food. Our lodge was dated but comfortable. There were a few minor issues but nothing that affected our stay. So in summary the accommodation is not luxurious but the location & setting are wonderful if it’s a quiet break you are looking for.
