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

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.

Cozy warm yet spacious

We stayed in Alvie, number 4, and I have to say it was very cozy and warm. The facilities on the holiday park are excellent and there is something for every age group.

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!).

Verified traveller

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.

2 night stay

Stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, no 14 for 2 nights with family. Supplied with everything you need for washing dishes. Pool was good, you dont have to reserve a time and they supplied towels. Would stay there again

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights with our 3 children (4 and 7 years and 1 baby 6 months). We rented a small cottage The cleanliness could be better, but is okay

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
