Cozy warm yet spacious
We stayed in Alvie, number 4, and I have to say it was very cozy and warm. The facilities on the holiday park are excellent and there is something for every age group.

It was a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyable. Location, facilities, proximity to Aviemore town centre.
Chalet is a bit tired looking internally. It was clean but someone needs to look up and remove cobwebs and dust on light fittings etc. Kitchen really well stocked.

2 night stay
Stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, no 14 for 2 nights with family. Supplied with everything you need for washing dishes. Pool was good, you dont have to reserve a time and they supplied towels. Would stay there again

Love Aviemore so booked the Spey valley lodges. The lodges are starting to look quite run down, especially the outside with peeling paint. The inside is a little dated but was clean enough. One of the single beds had no bottom sheet on it and a dead spider lying between blanket.Obviously this bed was not made up fresh. Check in is 5pm and checkout was 10am
I find this utterly ridiculous. I did enjoy the onsite restaurant and bar. Staff were nice. I would come again but not at the prices they charge and checking should be earlier.

Decent family weekend away
Family chalets are decent, just a bit small if you have numbers. Swimming pool is great and the food for adults is really nice. The options for children could be better.
Staff were friendly but some bar staff a bit useless.

Had a great stay with my family in one of the cabins. A nice location just a short walk from the main area of Aviemore and a variety of good trails for walking/cycling/running. The cabin had all the facilities I needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
