We had a great stay. Really welcoming hosts and warm cosy place to stay. Good drying room with space for lots of kit. Well equipped kitchen. There was always a fire in the dining room and lounge. The light breakfast was perfect in the mornings before a day of adventure.

From arriving to leaving, Everything was very personal and friendly. There are cozy rooms for just sitting down or meals. Everything was clean and we directly felt welcome. Furthermore, the family is happy to give you advices for hiking tours or other day Trips.
If you dont have a car, it is difficult to get to some spots. But the family and other guests offered us sometimes to take us somewhere, if they drove in the same direction, that was great. Also the busses can be very useful and the forest behind the house and some lakes you can reach by foot are very beautiful.

Rebecca's evening meal and breakfast were exceptional. Locally sourced home cooked meals away from home. Sharing meals with the family and other guests were a delightful start and end to tbe day.
A hairdryer in the room would have been useful.

The location in Boat of Garten is excellent if you want to do any walking or similar outdoor activity as there are plenty of opportunities and busier places like Aviemore are within range. The heritage steam line runs between the two so another attraction for some. The owner has a lot of experience in winter activities so worth chatting to if that is your thing. Breakfast was very good as well.

Cereal, toast etc breakfast great, liked family gathering at one big table. Lovely working garden, brilliant village shop, pub handy, excellent walks/bike rides on doorstep.
Had one dinner: very nice, a bit frugal for price. Packed lunch excellent, a bit pricey.

Hosts were absolutely lovely and very hospitable. The lodge is cosy and a community atmosphere is created in the lounge and dining areas. Very environmentally friendly systems in place too. All we could have wished for and more for our Cairngorms holiday.

We found Fraoch Lodge met our needs very well for a few days of winter climbing in the Cairngorms. The drying room was very useful as was the ability to have a cooked evening meal. Very comfortable rooms with excellent hot showers.

Excellent hosts. Andy and Rebecca are very knowledgeable about the area and provided great advice on hikes and things to do for our family. Rebecca makes delicious and sustainable meals - great to have that option for dinner. Enjoyed the community feel. Would definitely stay again!
The shower was a little small but not a problem and served up nice, hot water.
