Bracken House - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

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.

Fantastic property , very quiet location . Plenty of space for a relaxing holiday .

Lodge was as advertised. Asked for help to put on heating and electrician arrived within 30 mins. Fab

Property was spacious and beds were very comfortable. A few issues need resolving which I have already passed onto you.

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.

House is in excellent location, quiet area but within easy reach of Aviemore centre and all local attractions . Good overall amenities, large kitchen with additional seating area , comfy beds and and great to have TV's in all bedrooms. Also great to have hot tub under cover as it can then be used in all weather. Overall spacious well equipped house offering good accommodation for family groups. Rear garden has lovely views onto woodlands and very private. Only downside was that the garden seating consisted of just one wooden picnic style bench. Not comfortable to sit on and would not easily accommodate more than 4 people so if house is at capacity and everyone wanted to enjoy outdoor dining or just relax in the garden this would be an issue. Would suggest some additional garden chairs would be welcome.

The customer service from Great North Lodges was wonderful. We found this lodge on their website and it matched all our requirements. They are happy to allow pets as well (we had 3). From the lodge it is a drive back into the town centre for shopping at Tesco, Aldi or Home Bargains, but you can still walk that distance if you don't need to carry anything back. There's a lovely walk through the woods alongside the A9. It is closer to the Dalfaber estate where there is a co-op, pizzeria and chip shop, and these are within easy walking distance. The bedrooms are all of a good size and all had TVs, and there were enough bathrooms to accommodate us all. The showers are all walk-in size and there's also a bath in the main bathroom. A big lounge with full media TV and video games leads out to a covered hot tub (very nice when it's a bit drizzly). The kitchen is big and well stocked. The garden is lovely and looks out onto the woods at the rear of the property so plenty of wildlife to see. The only gripes were: one mattress was too hard (personal taste though), the TV in the kitchen was not a smart TV so limited to what you could watch (only a problem when some of the group wanted to watch something different), and the garden shed is in the sunniest bit of the garden in the mornings (I like my coffee in the sunshine). All in all, I would recommend this property for a family trip.

Nice quiet location, well equipped with everything you need. Plenty PS /DVD’S games to keep the kids/adults happy. Added luxury was the Hot Tub which we all enjoyed after our adventures

Booked with GNL before and service is great. Houses are all of a relative standard and provide everything you need for a great stay. I’m probably being a wee bit harsh on this one but felt it was a bit tired overall, decor etc needs attention but as I say that’s just an opinion. The kitchen was a bit worn and the plates and bowls have seen way too many visits to the dishwasher. The location was nice if a bit out of the centre but, we chose that so if that’s what you are looking for then it’s recommendable. One thing that continues to disappoint is the late check in, early departure. In my opinion 4.00 pm is a waste of a day by the time you travel and unpack.

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.

Fantastic holiday accommodation, loved kitchen with dining table and sofa. Spent daytime in there. Night time in big living room. Bedroom were big and beds were really comfy. Hot tub was amazing used morning and evenings. Audra our housekeeper was lovely when I phoned her about a problem I had. This is my 5th great north Lodge looking forward to coming a 6th time.

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.

We loved our stay at Bracken. The house it's self was nice and clean. The location was great, quiet estate. Lots of paths near by to walk the dogs. Hot tub was a lovely added bonus.

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 .

We have been coming here for 6 years now, always enjoyed our stay unfortunately this time was a bit disappointing, the hot tub lid was broken causing floaters in water. Grass was uncut and long. Toilet seat in main insult was broken, lights on upstairs landing didn’t work. Ceiling in kitchen showing signs water damage cracked plaster. Fridge compartments missing. Have taken pictures on arrival of these areas for proof. No the house is supposed to be cleaned and inspected before next guest so why was the lodge in this state for ud
