Salmon Run Lodge - a lodge that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

We stayed at the salmon run over Christmas 2025 which is why I have marked down value for money due to higher rates over festive period. The location was perfect, many great walks and easy access to town, winter wonderland, beautiful frosty mornings and hot tub was fantastic. Sauna temperature was not very warm so we didn't unfortunately make use of it during our stay. Inside the accommodation, when we did not have the fire on was cold, perhaps the fire affected the thermostats on the heaters which meant the bedrooms were below 16 degrees overnight. Mattresses and bedding need to be replaced, metal springs could be felt on all the beds and tog rating on the current duvets were not sufficient during winter months. Kitchen frying pans need replaced, anti stick disintegrating into foods being cooked.

Well equipped home with great layout and plenty of space but upon arrival it was clear it wasnt the cleanest GNL I've stayed in and there's been a few so that was disappointing. Crumbs in cupboard, clumps of fluff and outside debris in en suite, coffee granules in coffee pot, L shaped couch needs cushions removed and hoovered and also pulled out and hoovered underneath. Bedrooms were perfect apart from Master suite mattress needs an upgrade. As does the tv which kept losing signal. Welcome pack was beautiful, the coffee and jam especially, are delicious. Hot tub, of course, epic however we had to make a chilly dash to grab our dogs that had got out of the garden I likely would recommend this property to others, however not sure we would stay again knowing other holiday let's have been immaculate. Also, location is lovely. Many thanks. Atholl

A spacious and comfortable property, we enjoyed our time at Salmon Run Lodge. It’s in an excellent but peaceful location for exploring the surrounding area. Carrbridge itself is lovely with some great walks and attractions. A few minor niggles. The property wasn’t spotless. Dust, hair and sweet wrappers under furniture, dishes left in the dishwasher from the last guests and a freezer which leaked over the floor. The ‘guidebook’ is out date referencing things that are no longer available. Generally it could do with a tidy up, water stained floors, scuffed paint in most rooms, a lot of weeds growing up through the decking and gravel outside. Most importantly, the beds were clean and the hot tub and sauna were great at the end of the day, so generally we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great 3 night stay, very comfortable and clean, sauna and hot tub were so good. It is in a great location too with lovely walks around. Would happily recommend!

Lodge comfortable inside, clean and warm, but outside needs attention, overgrown weeds, garden furniture seen better days stopped us from enjoying the outside.

The app we were sent was really good and helpful. The lodge was easy to find and had a good area for parking. Inside it was very spacious. We had everything we wanted and more. The hot tub was great, we didn’t use the sauna. We were really impressed with the lodge and would definitely recommend to others.

Overall cleanliness fairly poor. Issue with shower in main toilet, taps loose and difficult to operate as a result. Several lights inoperable. Small sofa inviting area needs replaced, very uncomfortable. Hot tub, supply of logs, size of kitchen and location all positive however.

Great holiday home. 1 point marked down on comfort only due to the lodge not having a couple of basic things - colander and no basics such as salt/sugar/oil. 2 points marked down as lodge wasn't the cleanest.

We enjoyed staying in Salmon run lodge as its great location and available sauna + hot tub were ideal. However the place is rather run down in places, there’s broken decking between the hot tub and sauna, the shower heads leaked which sprayed water all over the bathroom, the BBQ area was not maintained at all which made it unusable. Having stayed at a few of the other available properties that Great North Lodges have they are a good bit better than this one.

Hot tub looking a bit old. Tied marks on walls of tub. Lights not working next to hot tub. Sauna not reaching temperature. Door on wood burner needs fixing not shutting properly. But did have a great time . Good location. Nice to have fire wood supply. Would stop again. Just needs a little maintenance. Thank you.
