No problems with Wi-Fi, heating or hot water. One downfall was there used to be many paths in the surrounding forest but unfortunately the trees have fallen over them. Close to Aviemore and in general a good location for visiting local attractions. Definitely would book again (if not too expensive!)

The accommodation is outstanding and superb value for money. We hiked, paddled boarded, enjoyed the Loch Morlich beach, made dens, walked up a waterfall ⦠and ate some amazing food (including toasting marshmallows on the open outdoor fire)! We canât wait to come back!
