Sleeps 10 in 3 double rooms, 1 twin room and 1 pull out bed

Loved our stay here, fabulous property, only issue was several old cobwebs and dust in areas that were obviously being overlooked when cleaning and the vacuum cleaner wasn’t leaving the carpets clean. The lounge carpet wasn’t clean when we arrived and after several attempts to clean it ourselves there was still dog hair from previous occupants left on the carpet. Deep clean and new vacuum capable of picking up dog hair recommend.

Clean and tidy and ideally located within the town. Great experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Grouse Lodge the house had everything to cater for all ages a trampoline, hot tub, a good variety of board games. The house was beautifully situated, the views with a morning coffee from the balcony were simply breathtaking! It was a short walk into Aviemore and a short drive to gorgeous walks. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean and well organised. We will definitely return!

The property was in a good location and very spacious, easily accommodating a large group. Views were excellent and there was a big garden although it wasn't fully enclosed as states in the description. The kitchen was reasonable stocked with equipment and had 2 fridges and a small freezer. We had a few issues with the hot water and shower temperatures were variable between rooms. The main disappointment was the standard of housekeeping. While it appeared generally clean there were a few issues such as dirty BBQ grill, food left in the freezer, dirty washbasin plug hole and lack of protective cover over a stained mattress in one room (hopefully an oversight on this occasion). Assuming the housekeeping improved I would happily recommend the property to others

Second year I have stayed in BGL with friends and already booked for next year We go to relax, catch up and enjoy the spacious house and hot tub. Great that 3 of the 4 bedrooms are en suites which saves any queues!!. House lovely and warm, especially when log fire lit Smart TV to watch Xmas movies via Netflix etc. Would have been nice to have some Xmas decorations up. Maybe next year Car required if you want to get around or replenish your groceries at Tesco. Overall perfect stay ❤️

Great week, third time coming back to the same property says it all. Location is fantastic with lots to do far all ages. However some refreshing to the property wouldn’t go amiss to keep it to the standard expectations for the price.

The lodge is spacious and comfortable in all areas and more than enough room for six adults an three children. However we found that relaxing at the large kitchen table in comfort made moving into the huge lounge redundant. The gardens are well kept and the hot tub is an added attraction to those wishing to relax there. Small complaints: One of the range ovens is unusable for cooking as the door does not close - only mentioned just prior to arrival - and, during our stay, the whole range tripped on a number of occasions requiring a change in our eating plans. Directions given prior to arrival could be better as all three cars had difficulty in finding the lodge All in all - we had a wonderful stay and hope to come back again

We stayed for 7 nights with our two daughters, their husbands and babies aged 17 and 10months. The house was perfect for our group. The large carpeted sitting room, with comfortable sofas was ideal for babies at the crawling and starting to walk stage. Stunning views and the excellent hot tub made it a lovely place to relax and the close proximity to the Aviemore Orbital path made it great for walks. Beds were very comfortable and apart from the one oven door being out of order the kitchen was ideal. On one cool evening we enjoyed the use of the living room fire and plenty of wood supplied. The bathrooms were beautifully fitted but potential room for improvement would be, maintaining the grass and garden area more, better lighting in the living room and replacing the living room carpet which was worn in places. That said it is somewhere we would return to. The weather was wonderful which helped to make this a really enjoyable experience.

We recently had a big family get together here, and what a fantastic lodge this is. Clean, spacious and excellent facilities. Even with so many of us, we had ample space. Just a few minutes from the centre of Aviemore made this the perfect base for us to travel out doing Loch walks, quad biking, Watersports and horse treks. It was great to come back and ease our tired bones in the hot tub and have a BBQ. Our little girl was also thrilled to see the trampoline in the front garden! The only thing I’d say is that the garden isn’t enclosed so if you’re bringing dogs you either need to stay outside with them or fashion a long leash which can be attached to something to let them wander. This was easily done & no problem for us. All in all, an awesome holiday & we plan to return as soon as we can.

Black Grouse Lodge ideal for large family group. Lovely garden. Well-equipped kitchen. Superb bathrooms. Only issue the pet hairs in the carpets. You could easily remedy this by asking folk to keep pets to wooden floor areas downstairs and away from sitting room. We're not pet owners or lovers! There was a lot of sneezing!

The Black Grouse was perfect for our large family gathering to celebrate a special birthday, the lodge is very spacious with ample kitchen supplies, outdoor and indoor seating/dining. The only disappointing aspect was that it advertises dog friendly however it is not an enclosed garden and the pond is very tempting for dogs on a hot day! However walks from the door are plentiful and green through woodlands within walking distance to the village. We would certainly recommend a stay here and hope to return next year.

This was our first time booking with Great North Lodges and unfortunately we have been left feeling disappointed in Black Grouse Lodge. It's a beautiful property in an excellent location with stunning views across to the Cairngorms and a private back garden. However, we did not feel the housekeeping was to the standard it should be. We found blueberries on the floor in the utility room on arrival, food left in the freezer, countless dirty dishes/glasses in the cupboards, leaking radiator in the kitchen. The living room curtains and pole fell on top of us when we tried to close the curtains at night as it was not secured and the carpet in the living room was threadbare. Outside there was a couple of sleepers broken/ missing on the bridge which left a gaping hole through to the river below. Other than a plant pot, there was nothing at all to stop people, children or dogs from potentially stepping on this which we considered to be incredibly dangerous. We found the property to be 'a bit tired' and in need of some work and attention to bring it back up to the standard advertised on GNL website.

This is a stunning and secluded home with plenty space for the entire family located in the heart of Aviemore. It has amazing views towards the Cairngorms, which keep everyone in awe as the weather changes. The housekeeping staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We called for extra bedding and someone was at the door half an hour later with additional bedding and offered to law the bed up for us. We also had an issue with the tumble drier and again we had someone out that day to look at it. The house has many extras for keeping everyone happy with hot tub and a trampoline and Xbox for the kids. This is an amazing property located on the Aviemore circular which is fab for walking and cycling. A beautiful home to base a stay from with all local amenities within walking distance and other attractions such as Landmark and Wildlife park only 10-15 minutes drive. Thoroughly recommend BGL to all.

This is a beautiful lodge that is very well appointed with gorgeous views. Only a short walk into town and has plenty of parking. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic Lodge which was just perfect for all our family . Safe for the grandchildren, dog and my Mother in her 80’s. Has everything you could want with spectacular views of the Cairngorms as an additional bonus. Bedrooms spacious and comfortable. It truly is a special lodge . We have used Great North Lodges before and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them . Black Grouse Lodge is an absolute gem - hope to be back again in the future.
