Eriskay Guest House and Aviemore Glamping

Summary: Room and bathroom were grand but I've never had such an unwelcoming check-in. Had a long drive from the previous accommodation and were thankful to get to this next accommodation. When I arrived I said my name and I mistakenly said I booked a room outside (instead of a room inside in the guestroom). Our host Ken seemed so hostile asking "Who are you?! Who are you?!", even after restating my name. I was so confused and felt like I had just walked into a strangers house who was shocked, defensive and angry to see me. After realising I booked the guestroom I got a "don't come in telling me you ordered a glamping room when you booked a room in the guestroom". I booked the family room (1 double and 2 single beds) for myself and a friend. The frustration grew when Ken said I should of stated we needed 2 seperate beds for 2 people as only the double bed was prepped and we're now "creating more work" for him. We did get spare sheets and we made up one of the single beds. The room and bathroom otherwise were good and no issues, but the confusion and shock of the check-in really tainted our stay. I don't know if it was anger at something else redirected at us but it was the worst check-in experience I've ever had and will not be back.

We had a wonderful glamping stay - very comfortable. Everything you need is there including the option for an excellent breakfast. Ken and Jill were very good hosts and nothing too much trouble.

it was brilliant to stay in the wee hut. It was very charming, clean and cozy for myself and my better half. The owners were very helpful and friendly and gave us good local knowledge about good pubs and lovely walks to take. The optional breakfast was fantastic and they were able to accommodate to our dietary needs.

We had a superb stay a Eriskay, Ken and Gill made us feel extremely welcome and the breakfast was 10/10. We will definitely go back. The Eriskay is perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area.

Ken and Gill are the perfect hosts! Cook to order breakfast, amazing coffee, and pastries. We were heading to Skye after our stay and Ken gave us a route that we thoroughly enjoyed! Coos on the side of the road, waterfall hikes, and a trip around Loch Ness were included in his advice. Do not hesitate to stay at this amazing property.

Cute glamping pod, had everything one could need in a very clever use of space, nice shower, comfortable beds. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Breakfast delicious home cooked and well worth it. Set back from the main road so nice and quiet.

Loved our stay!! thank you!

Very quiet. So many special touches that make this property appealing plus comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and very informative. A lovely stay.

We have done a few other glamping trips before, so we are familiar with the uniqueness of these places. Our little pod was comfy; tho we had a bit of a dampness issue the next day upon return from our day of activity. The weather had definitely been wet, so probably not unexpected; however getting the dampness out took some extra time of keeping the door open all night and the heater turned up. The hosts did give us another duvet comfort cover to replace the original; we still had a damp smell for part of the evening. Overall, the stay was nice, the breakfast was exceptional, the hosts are very lovely and friendly.

My stay at Eriskay was a highlight of my trip! Hosts Ken and Gill are so welcoming and create a lovely atmosphere amongst the guests. Breakfast is exceptional - Gill is a fantastic cook and everything is beautifully presented. My room was on the small side but spotlessly clean and comfortable. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Eriskay - I’ll be coming back here again :)

Absolute gem of a place .... hidden in a little cul-de-sac off the main road. The owners Ken and Gill were super friendly and the breakfasts both morning were lovely! Despite not staying in one of the pods (my error) the guest room was just perfect and had everything you would need for a few nights stay. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Aviemore.

Absolutely amazing! They were wonderful hosts. I felt welcome from the second I pulled in. Breakfast was delicious. Gave ideas of things to do and were very accommodating. I hope to come back and stay again from the U.S.
