Wonderful Weekend

We had an amazing long weekend staying at Bracken Lodge. There is plenty of room with the kitchen, living room and enclosed garden providing a perfect setting for socialising and relaxing. My Mum the entire weekend kept saying "It just has everything you need". Only a small improvement recommendation would be to have the chairlift area next to the hot tub a bit cleaner with somewhere you're able to hang towels. Would definitely plan to return - superb house in an excellent alpine feeling location!

dog walkers paradise

Bracken House is the perfect place to stay with the forest on the door step and Aviemore within walking distance .The forest has endless trails on the door step and many more only a short drive away .This is the dog walkers paradise and lovely house to relax in at the end of the day .Local pubs and shops are very welcoming making the holiday enjoyable . To improve on everything the only thing I would do is update the refuse collection information and in the cooking range a steamer could be added for vegetables

A fantastic property for a family gathering

We are regular visitors to Aviemore and have stayed in a few holiday homes and Bracken House did not disappoint. Great location with a great space for 7 of us and our dog. The hot tub was an added benefit and would recommend to others.

Perfect house for a family getaway

Perfect house for a family getaway. Location was great with easy access to dog walking and biking trails. House was well presented, very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We enjoyed having the hot tub and that the garden was not overlooked and it was secure for the dogs. Well all loved it. Great location for exploring the surrounding area. Only minor negative was the BBQ. It was too small to cook for 8 people and very shallow to get enough coals into it to cook for a house full. We abandoned our plans and cooked inside.

Birthday break

Loved our stay. the only fault would be that the main room bed needs a bigger bed, can’t beat huge bed, maybe access to Netflix.

Hiking Break

5 of us stayed at Bracken House at the start of June for a hiking break, the house was excellent and plenty of room for the 5 of us location was quiet but still only a 15-20min walk into town, we only used the hot tub once but it was a great way to sooth the aches and pains after long hikes in the cairngorms. we were lucky enough to spot a Red Deer in the woods above the house while relaxing in the tub. The Kitchen was well kitted out and overall we were very comfortable there. I would certainly stay there again and would recommend it for large families or a group of friends. Its the 1st time I have used Great North Lodges & they were very professional and kept in touch by regular email contact so everything was stress free, there is also someone at the end of a phone too if you need them and they are easy to get in touch with which I found refreshing

Christmas in Aviemore

Great service and information from Great North Lodges. House was easy to find and in a beautiful location. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space which let kids have some space of their own. Beds were extremely comfortable and bedrooms were all of a good size. We had a problem with the heating but this was rectified within an hour or so. Hot tub was the icing on the cake, great after a day out in the cold. Welcome pack was fabulous.

Reid 2026

This is the 3rd year we’ve stayed in this house and while we love it for location and space (and of course the hot tub), it feels like the house is becoming more tired as the years wear on. Yes, there is an additional chair in the twin room upstairs, however nothing else has really changed in terms of decor over the course of the three years we’ve been staying. The addition of the bike storage in the garage is however a welcome addition. Over the course of our stay the front door lock was exceptionally temperamental and needs adjusting or replacing. One evening we couldn’t unlock the door which caused a fair panic for our children however after a lot of jiggling of the key and the handle my husband got it open.

Bracken House

Very comfortable and spacious house and a fantastic quiet cul-de-sac. House was very nice and immaculate when we arrived. A short walk into Aviemore through lovely woods. 6 of us really enjoyed our holiday and would stay in Bracken House again.

Lovely spot

The house was great, really well located for local amenities and walking / other activities in the area. The hot tub is a lot of fun and was lovely and clean. Kitchen well equipped. A couple of small areas that would benefit from maintenance e.g. loose toilet seats and some bathroom mould but nothing major. We’d return.

We thought this house was great value for money. It was spacious and well equipped. The hot tub was great. The added touch of Christmas tree and decorations was lovely and festive. We enjoyed the complementary robes We walked from the house and beyond. It is in a great location We would go again

Short holiday

We use Great North Lodges a good few times throughout the year and have always had good service. We enjoyed our stay but the house could do with a bit of a freshen up. Decor is now tired throughout.

The ideal place to stay for your relaxing Aviemore adventure

My wife and friends of ours have been visiting Aviemore for several years and came across this fabulous house to rent. We stayed here last year and again this year. It is in the ideal location, close enough to walk into the village but remote enough so there is no traffic noise and lots of wildlife on your doorstep. The hot tub is brilliant under a cozy canopy so no issues if the wind picks up, and is large enough to cater for up to 8 people . The kitchen has every conceivable utensil including a laundry room. The linen and towels are all brilliant white and the bathrobes and slippers provided by the house are a lovely touch.

Weekend stay

Had a lovely stay in this lodge with family. It is situated close to town but we never realised it was in a residential street our last lodges in Aviemore were more secluded , however it is a very quiet area. Comfortable lodge with everything you need lots of contact numbers. Central for doing everything and you can walk in town. Would recommend family to use this lodge it also has a hot tub undercover with was very handy and hard to get in the area . Not disable friendly though as no bathroom down stairs only a toilet . Not a problem for us but maybe for others . Lovely comfortable home would use again .
