Guests say
Golden Eagle Lodge receives high praise for its stunning location, cleanliness, and beautifully presented interiors. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, ample space, and the cosy wood burner. The surrounding woods and river access offer a tranquil setting and outdoor enjoyment. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and comfort in the heart of the Cairngorms.
Reviews consistently mention the lodge being very clean and beautifully presented, with only a single mention of a pet odour from the vacuum cleaner, which does not significantly detract from the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The lodge's location is frequently highlighted as perfect, stunning, and ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities. Its proximity to the river, woods, and local attractions like Loch Insh and Aviemore is highly valued by guests.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with generous-sized bedrooms and cosy living areas. However, there are a few remarks about uncomfortable beds and furniture, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The lodge is well-equipped with first-class facilities, though some guests mention issues with the washing machine, kitchen appliances, and minor repairs needed. These comments indicate that while facilities are generally good, there is a need for attention to maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The lodge was extremely comfortable and welcoming. Being in a remote woodland setting, we also got to experience spotting wildlife, including a Pine Marten, Hare and Badger which was a bonus! Our only criticism would be that we didn't bring any pets but it was clear from dog hair on the sofa that pets had previously stayed in the lodge and the sofa wasn't hoovered properly. Although not a big issue for us it could be for other guests, especially if they have allergies.

! Great location, super relaxing, really well maintained, stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean. One small disappointment was that the âking sizedâ rooms only contained double beds and the mattresses were a little worn. It wouldnât stop us returning though!
