10/10 Exceptional

The apartment was spacious for the two of us, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had a good range of appliances and the lounge had comfortable seating.
Derek, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

I have stayed previously but found the apartment quite run down. Broken kitchen plinth, broken conservatory chair, chipped & stained paintwork, stained carpets. Definitely needs a repaint and new, easily cleaned flooring

Great couple short stay

Another good stay at this resort, this time in a one bedroom Alvie unit. Everything great apart from the bed being double not king. Enjoyed the golf on the doorstep but didn’t use many other facilities this visit.

The property is brilliant the only issue was finding the place. There are a lot of hotels with similar names I suggest what three words is put on the address of the booking in point😀

Needs some work to get it back to standard

Cleanliness was poor - we booked a dog friendly lodge (at a extra cost) but still don't expect to have mould on the curtains, lots of other dog hair as an extra carpet and on soft furnishings. Needs a bit of TLC all round and a lick of paint. Used the pool and sauna which was good, but the jacuzzi was out of use. Staff that we spoke to were welcoming and helpful but we didn't address cleanliness until we left. They offered a small refund of half of our dog fee.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent resort to stay with kids and dog. The accommodation is a great size, beds are comfy and the resort is clean. The resort itself is dated but the location and the size of the apartments make it worrhwhile. Kids loved the badminton and tennis. Pool is great for kids too We will definitely be back again
Bryan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Good family stay

It’s a nice place to stay with family but needs some better cushions on the sofa and some basic renovations
Vishal, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the villa, 3 negatives, the villa could do with some vacuuming, dog hair everywhere, there’s not enough cooking pot and pans( a small frying pan and small pot) and check in at 5pm(too late!).

We were so impressed with the quality of the accommodations and how friendly and helpful the staff was. Our chalet was spacious and beautiful, and impeccably clean - I absolutely recommend!
Karen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Tired and tatty, but nothing bad

A poor start when they failed to answer any of my emails, but my call was answered. The lodges, especially on the outside, were tired and a bit tatty, but everything was clean and functional. Beds were good and pillows were great. Very well equipped for self-catering and everything we needed for a family of four. The only irritation was that they allow pets and there was evidence of animal hair on decorative bed throws and cusions, but not enough to bother us. Parking was right beside lodge and it was a short walk of 200 - 300 metres to the clubhouse pool. The 'resort' was quiet and always felt safe. A good location for visiting Landmark and other attractions in Avimore. The additional space and extra bedroom meant we were very much more comfrtable than staying in a hotel. There are sever shops and food outles a short walk away, however, the other bars and restaurants are a 25-30 minute walk or 5 minute drive. We'd definitely stay again.
