The hotel is in an old building but beautifully renovated. The rooms are clean, nice and refreshingly designed and decorated, the shower is large and spacious and the bed is really comfortable and big, we had a great night sleep. Close to the beautiful town of Aviemore where you can find restaurants, Cafe’s, stores and supermarkets. We stayed for one night only but could stay much longer! Very recommended!

Dalrachney Lodge is wonderful! Steve and Tracy are very personable and caring hosts. We stayed in the superior king room for one night, and it was truly lovely. The bed was comfortable, the furniture was beautiful, and the bathroom exceeded my expectations. They provided a delectable made-to-order breakfast in the morning. I highly recommend staying here, and look forward to staying with these caring hosts in the future! Steve even gave us recommendations of places to stop along our journey that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. We stopped at the bridge in Carrbridge, House of Bruar and the falls behind it, and Hettie's in Pitlochry and loved all of these recommendations!

I loved how homely this felt! It was so cosy, and warm in the pod and Ken and Gill where so caring and kind! The breakfast in the mornings where delicious, Gill is a wonderful cook! And Ken really goes above and beyond to ensure his guests are comfortable, know how everything works and make sure you have a good idea of how to get here and there in Aviemore! He gave me great advice and suggestions on where to go and what to do, and omg their animals are adorable!!! I loved every minute of my stay with Ken and Gill in the pod it was so lovely I was actually sad to leave for the next part of my journey! The coffee machine inside the pod was also such a bonus! I really loved that, and the cookies that where provided too where delicious! I really did love every single thing about this place!

This little gem in the middle of Scotland ❤️ the rooms are just as you would imagine, cosy, clean and with the small town feel. There is a restaurant and a pub with very attentive staff. The food is good at both as is also the breakfast they serve. Definitely recommened while you are in town also the visit to Blair Atholl castle and gardens.

We went to Ballater to be close to Balmoral Castle, where we went to an artisans market on the grounds. We were there in October, so opening of other parts of the castle were not available, due to royal residence use. I would return to this beautiful part of Scotland again if given the chance, to see more of the castle.

The countryside in autumn was spectacular. There are lots of local walks to suit different levels of fitness. The Spey is nearby so iconic itself and for the whisky distilleries along its banks. Interesting local shops. Fresh local produce. Nice folk. Close enough for trips to the Moray Coast and Cairngorms. Golf, fishing, garden nurseries all in easy reach.

Boat of Garten is a small village which has some good features and services, including a pub, a village store, pizza shop, art gallery and historic railway station. It is well located in relation to forest walks and other outdoor activities. For any significant shopping you needs to travel nearby Aviemore, 4.5 miles away. We preferred the peace and quiet of Boat of Garten for our stay in the area.

Nestled amongst the mountains with paths and tracks leading all over what’s not to like? Sadly, the general facilities here have gone. No shop for example. One place did have a sign out for coffee, but there could be an opportunity here for someone. Worth climbing up the Cateran Trail heading south to get stunning views looking down on the village. Also visit the stone circle, old bridge and the church. Just soak up the atmosphere!
