  Sadly the instructions for the heating were a little misleading - basically we worked out that if the water was heating up (ie after a shower), you had no heating!

  Internet signal/WiFi was patchy and as it was shared across the lodges, it wouldn't even work with my laptop. The cooker rings sometimes worked - couldn't understand why. Would have been nice to leave a couple of dishwasher tablets to start you off - for the price of this villa I would have expected a few extras. Toilet upstairs stopped working one morning.....but got it working again myself. However it's a lovely setting and excellent as a base for the west of the Cairngorms, good wildlife - lots of birds and I think we has a Pine Marten visiting. Red squirrels are nearby, one ran across the garden! Would be good to see the visitor book contain leaflets about the area - nothing there about the area, and I left a book on the Cairngorms to hopefully start off a library! Note that for Otter Lodge you cannot park your car outside the lodge itself, it's a very short walk along a level path to get to the lodge.

  This was our second trip to the lodges and we definitely plan to come back.

  They are beautifully done and in a perfect (for us) setting. This time around, some friends hired one of the apartments too, which worked really well. Comfy beds, an extra arm chair in the lounge compared to what we had last year, which really helped, the nicest log burner over and a fab feeling of being in the middle of nowhere, whilst actually being close to great local amenities. Only a couple of minor criticisms - the oven needed a clean, there need to be more towels (we ended up buying hand towels for both bathrooms) and bigger pots/ pans needed. How can a lodge designed for up to 8 people have pots and pans that are only big enough for three people? We brought baking trays and one big pot from home, but of course that didn’t work on an induction hob. Apart from that, completely gorgeous! Thank you so much for having us - we loved it.

  We had a lovely stay.

  The location is lovely, very secluded but yet only a short drive to Aviemore. The accommodation is well equipped and clean and spacious. There is a bike wash off facility and also bike lock up facilities at the lodge which was a great additional feature. Cots and high chairs were available for use too which was handy not having to take our own. It’s also very quiet and peaceful location. The only downside is the WiFi is shared with the other lodges (I dont remember this being stated on the listing) so you can’t stream on the tv - we like to YouTube areas we are interested in visiting before we go, so may not be an issue to others. Also otter lodge is furthest away from the car park, so a small inconvenience dragging your stuff from the car to the lodge. We would definitely stay here again.

  A modern hideaway tucked deep in the forest.

  Admittedly we couldn’t find the lodges at first as the sign isn’t lit up at night but once we knew how to find it, driving around locally was very easy. The property is spacious, modern and clean. The open plan living downstairs is ideal for families. WiFi was patchy but this was clearly stated in the welcome pack. The apps (Netflix for example) weren't working on the TV, again not a dealbreaker but with little children it helps if you use these. 17min drive to Aviemore, 30min drive to Cairngorm mountain.

  We stayed at Otter Lodge for two nights and we really loved the everything about it.

  The lodge had everything we needed and was very clean. The only problem we had was the wifi. The first day it stopped working from around 8pm and then only came back on the next day about 12pm. Mobile signal is not the best especially to get 4G but this didn't stop us from enjoying the time we spent there. In the morning going for a walk in the woods was just lovely. Definitely recommend the Lodge to anyone especially those who want to escape the city life and enjoy some peaceful sounds of nature. :)
