Top Lochan Dhu Hotel Reviews

The Boat Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Boat is a delightful traditional village pub/hotel, next to the Strathspey railway station. I always stay there when I am in the Cairngorms. It can be busy and lively, but there is always space in the dining room for guests. Staff are friendly. I wish there was a lift/elevator, but understand the limitations of an old building"

Beautiful 2 bed cottage, peaceful location in Scottish Highlands; pet friendly

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was perfect for us. It was very clean and had everything we needed .It is in a great location for exploring the area and there is access to forest paths from the gate at the back garden.There is a ramp to the door and it is completely flat inside making it a perfect place for wheelchair users.Conveniently near to a grocery shop and an excellent restaurant.Thoroughly recommend Ed"

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, plenty of parking and within walking distance to Aviemore centre."

Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very family friendly. Excellent soft play, pool and outdoor playground. The dinner and restaurant were excellent as well. Special thanks to Charles and Augustine at the dining room and breakfast. Augustine went above and beyond to accommodate us. Breakfast itself could have been better. It was lacking options and the vegetarian sausages ran out a few days."

ABI St.David 6 Berth Caravan

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely caravan in a convenient location. Spotlessly clean and a great base for exploring the Highlands. The kitchen was better equipped that other similar rentals I've stayed in. Everything we needed. Basic TV and entertainment, but we weren't there to watch telly ."

Mallachie - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"We returned for a second time, after a lovely stay last year, for a family holiday. The property is really clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We had regular visits from red squirrels and a range of wild life. The secure garden was enjoyed by our grand daughter and the dogs. There are great walks right from the door, access to local cafes and a shop plus the opportunity to watch the steam train 6 times a day. We hope to return next year."

Pine Ridge Lodge - a lodge that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"This was the second time that the seven of us have stayed at Pine Ridge Lodge. We had an excellent stay. The lodge is spotless, very well kept and has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. There are plenty of things to entertain children and adults alike. We would highly recommend. Thank you! We look forward to returning again."

Earth House Scotland - Stunning Historic Fishing Lodge on the River Spey

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I stayed at Earth House for a week long vacation in Scotland. The property is even more breathtaking than in the photos and videos. Our group included 15 people from age 6 to 74 and every one of us agreed that it was one of the most amazing locations ever visited. The house maintains a rustic charm while having the most up to date bathrooms, kitchen and appliances. We woke up to the sun rising over the Highlands with sheep baa-ing from the nearby farm. Aviemore was a quick drive away and provided running and hiking trails, coffee shops, restaurants and plenty of activities for the children. Day trips to Inverness and Urquart Castle were very easy. At Salem's recommendation, we hired Pauline, owner of Polipocketseats, to cook for the family. Her food was delicious and accomodated the many different tastes and preferences of our group. We ended each day as a family with tea by the fireplace.Salem was extremely helpful during our stay and answered all questions we had about the house and touring around Scotland. We miss the house already and I highly recommend Earth House to others!"

Mallard - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was top quality and comfort. The garden was an absolute delight helped by the fact that food for the birds was in plentiful supply. There were a good number of birds most of the time, 2 red squirrels, a bank vole and 2 visits that we know of from a pine martin. We hope to return one day."
