About this cottage rental

Bracken House is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac at the North end of Aviemore. This modern house has a large hot tub for the whole family or a group of friends. Bracken House is named after the bracken covered hill behind the house, which is at the foot of the Craigellachie Nature Reserve. You may be lucky enough to spot some visitors to the garden and we have some lovely pictures from previous guests of Red Squirrels.

Enjoy a private and covered hot tub area in the back garden, with uninterrupted views and a BBQ for some evening dining. A secure shed also offers a place for bikes and skis, so plan to do some exploring while you are here.

The accommodation is very spacious, offering two double rooms and two twins. Great for large family or even two families. Kids are looked after and a selection of DVDs and a PS3 for guests use - just bring your own favourite games. The large kitchen and dining room are definitely the heart of this home and there is space for everyone to dine or just relax with a glass of wine with views to the garden.

    The house was great, really well located for local amenities and walking / other activities in the area. The hot tub is a lot of fun and was lovely and clean. Kitchen well equipped. A couple of small areas that would benefit from maintenance e.g. loose toilet seats and some bathroom mould but nothing major. We’d return.

    House is in excellent location, quiet area but within easy reach of Aviemore centre and all local attractions . Good overall amenities, large kitchen with additional seating area , comfy beds and and great to have TV's in all bedrooms. Also great to have hot tub under cover as it can then be used in all weather. Overall spacious well equipped house offering good accommodation for family groups. Rear garden has lovely views onto woodlands and very private. Only downside was that the garden seating consisted of just one wooden picnic style bench. Not comfortable to sit on and would not easily accommodate more than 4 people so if house is at capacity and everyone wanted to enjoy outdoor dining or just relax in the garden this would be an issue. Would suggest some additional garden chairs would be welcome.

    The customer service from Great North Lodges was wonderful. We found this lodge on their website and it matched all our requirements. They are happy to allow pets as well (we had 3). From the lodge it is a drive back into the town centre for shopping at Tesco, Aldi or Home Bargains, but you can still walk that distance if you don't need to carry anything back. There's a lovely walk through the woods alongside the A9. It is closer to the Dalfaber estate where there is a co-op, pizzeria and chip shop, and these are within easy walking distance. The bedrooms are all of a good size and all had TVs, and there were enough bathrooms to accommodate us all. The showers are all walk-in size and there's also a bath in the main bathroom. A big lounge with full media TV and video games leads out to a covered hot tub (very nice when it's a bit drizzly). The kitchen is big and well stocked. The garden is lovely and looks out onto the woods at the rear of the property so plenty of wildlife to see. The only gripes were: one mattress was too hard (personal taste though), the TV in the kitchen was not a smart TV so limited to what you could watch (only a problem when some of the group wanted to watch something different), and the garden shed is in the sunniest bit of the garden in the mornings (I like my coffee in the sunshine). All in all, I would recommend this property for a family trip.

    Nice quiet location, well equipped with everything you need. Plenty PS /DVD’S games to keep the kids/adults happy. Added luxury was the Hot Tub which we all enjoyed after our adventures

    Booked with GNL before and service is great. Houses are all of a relative standard and provide everything you need for a great stay. I’m probably being a wee bit harsh on this one but felt it was a bit tired overall, decor etc needs attention but as I say that’s just an opinion. The kitchen was a bit worn and the plates and bowls have seen way too many visits to the dishwasher. The location was nice if a bit out of the centre but, we chose that so if that’s what you are looking for then it’s recommendable. One thing that continues to disappoint is the late check in, early departure. In my opinion 4.00 pm is a waste of a day by the time you travel and unpack.
