About this apartment rental

The River House Garden Rooms is the ground floor of a large Edwardian house, which is located in a tranquil , secluded position next to a wooded area on the river Spey (perfect for dog walking) but only five minutes into bustling Aviemore. The mature grounds, have a couple of sundecks and a summerhouse for guests use. Electric entrance gates makes the grounds pretty secure for dogs.

This is a truly magical location in Aviemore. Perfect for a cosy getaway and ideal for your honeymoon or a much needed rest.

The large architectural design living room extension containing the dining area has floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the views to the river Spey, woods and mountains beyond . The property is just for two guests and has been created with romance in mind (for the young and young at heart, ) with log stoves in the lounge and in the bedroom where there is a king-size bed and en suite showroom. Imagine cosying up in bed with the crackling lit stove watching the snow fall outside !!! Of course the property also comes with a luxury outdoor hot tub.

The large country style kitchen has everything you will need with a breakfast bar and including American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, dual fuel range. in the utility room there is a washing machine and dryer.

The owners have left some artefacts in the house, so you get the feeling that you are visiting a friends place not just a self catering unit. And of course dogs are very welcome,
there are kennels if you wish to use them with our compliments!

Guests have exclusive use of the property but no access to the rest of the house which is unoccupied. There is a resident is a small studio close to the property. This will not affect the privacy of your stay.

Loved the look of this when browsing North Lodges site, however the pictures do not do it justice. The property is very spacious and has EVERYTHING you thought you needed and then some. The owners have thoughtfully included everything in the rental. Sky Sports and free WiFi are included. The kitchen had simply everything you could need and all utensils etc were spotless. The Lounge is huge with a great outlook. There are various nooks and crannies to sit in the garden, a Hot Tub, log burners in the lounge & bedroom along with a great supply of logs, matches firelighters kindling..............the list goes on. They really have thought of everything. A nice touch was the "History of the house" in the welcome book, this was very interesting and gives you a great insight into the owners past & present. It has quite a history. I honestly would have no qualms in recommending this for a break and we will definitely return again. Icing on the cake is The Old Bridge Inn is only 50 yards away (Hic) Sadly we forgot to sign the visitors book before we left so hopefully this will go some way to confirm our appreciation and enjoyment of your very special property. Thank you.

This was a fabulous place in a terrific location and the hot tub was an extra bonus. The hot tub was cleaned every 3 days. We will definitely be back.

I felt that I needed to share with you my mixed experience staying at what I believed to be luxury accommodation to celebrate a special birthday. We arrived on 30/06, the sun was shining and the house looked most inviting, however on entering the living area, it was more akin to a sauna than a garden room. A quick search of the welcome pack described a controller to open the velux window, however this was missing. I called the maintenance contact who offered to bring a fan, and would contact the owner. He arrived promptly with a fan and informed me that the owner had previously been made aware that the controller was missing but had not rectified this. He apologised and left. We also left to go into the village as the heat was unbearable for us, and our dogs. When we returned it became apparent that the large radiator in the living room was roasting hot, despite the valve being turned off. The maintenance man was called once again and very promptly arrived and shut the radiator off, thankfully. Once the room eventually cooled, we were able to sit and appreciate the room, however it then became quite clear that the lovely big comfortable sofa and cushions had several unsavoury stains with rips and tears partially hidden by fabric on the arms. The general theme is that this has obviously been a beautiful holiday home, but is tired and in need of several areas of repair - the outside porch door is broken and is not secure, one of the wooden chairs in the porch is wobbly and feel like it is about to break, the hot tub cover has a broken catch and a cracked plastic cover above the filters. The bathrooms were not clean. We also reported a wasps bike in the wooden cladding above the hot tub which was not tended to during our visit. The beautiful garden was over run by weeds, the decking area was in poor condition and in need of attention, as was the BBQ area. I emailed GNL to share my concerns and the reply was that they would pass my comments onto the owner. I have had no further correspondence. A significantly disappointing experience for what should have been a special birthday celebration.

Beautiful cottage in an ideal location. The house is huge for two people. We really loved all the space. We especially liked the wonderful garden and hot tub. Our dog was delighted to have such a big enclosed garden to run around in. The staircase to the closed upper floor was a bit creepy and filled with dusty looking artefacts. Also a couple of the furnishings were rather stained, i.e the living room footstool and bedroom table lamps which I did not expect with such a prestigious property

Loved this house. Loved the welcoming touches, sign, shortbread, logs. Great space when many houses of the same size seek to maximise number of visitors. Young gorgeous, great walks from garden gate, dressing room valuable if one of us got up early. Loved the hot tub. Enjoyed the garden and outdoor space.

Had another amazing week is this lovely cottage. So well equipped , cosy and the location is fabulous. The host was brilliant and left some lovely treats and loads of logs to keep us warm and toasty . The hot tub was brilliant . Will definitely return for a 3rd visit . Thank you

The pictures do not do this place justice and it is even more stunning in person. It is incredibly homely and has a very welcoming feel and gorgeous layout and features. The location is just perfect. We did not want to leave and could have stayed there forever. Our dogs loved the freedom of the secure large garden and patio areas and loved watching the birds and wildlife through the living room windows for hours. The only issue we had was no hot water for showers and the central heating was coming on in the middle of the night making it too hot to sleep. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back next year

Beautiful place, hot tub was perfect - however upon arrive had to message the owner as ‘secure garden’ isn’t very secure. Description says there is a studio CLOSE to the property with a permanent resistant. Little does it tell you that ‘close’ means right next door and that said resistant in the studio is in and out of drive way gate for work. Out at 4pm and back in at midnight! Also not ideal when you have a baby too. Gates take up to 3 minutes to close and if your dog is reactive or unfriendly like ours it’s not very ideal. We have a 66kg Great Dane who we had to inform the resident and the owner that he doesn’t like males. Do not recommend a stay here if your dogs are nervous around males or have history of running out of open gates! We had to constantly make sure the gates were shut and the man was not in the garden before letting our dogs out. Our stay was ok but won’t be back. This ruined our honeymoon.

First time staying at River House Garden Rooms and we would definitely recommend it. Excellent location only minutes walk into the centre but still very quiet and peaceful. For just two people we found it very spacious which was appreciated since we stayed for a week. The living area was fantastic with lovely views out to the garden and the wood burner was very cosy on rainy days. Gardens were lovely, plenty of space for our dog to enjoy and the hot tub was great to return to after a day out. Kitchen was well equipped and the american style fridge freezer with ice and constant cold water was nice luxury which we enjoyed. Only points for improvement we found was that the couch wasn't the comfiest for my husband and I but this is possibly due to us being very tall (too low at the back) Also, one end of the couch was broken. The shelves of the wardrobe were a bit dusty so we had to clean them before putting clothes there. Finally the bed was very firm which was quite uncomfortable for my husband but we're aware this is personal preference. Despite the minor points for improvement, we would be happy to return and would definitely recommend to others.

We stayed here for our 30th wedding anniversary and it was perfect! The house is much bigger than you would imagine for 2 people, especially the lounge, bedroom and dressing room which was fantastic. The location is the best for walking into Aviemore just 5 mins or walking from the door into the Rothiemurchus estate. We lovely the hot tub to relax in after a big walk. Can't wait to return to Riverside house garden rooms!!

We had a lovely stay at River House Garden Rooms. The location is great - quiet but a really easy walk into Aviemore or short drive along to Glenmore. The sitting room is stunning with lots of light, a log burner and a tremendous huge, comfortable sofa. The garden is lovely with lots of sitting spaces, access to the river out the back gate and the hot tub which is well maintained. Sadly, for us, the back half of the house was just too dark. There was a lack of natural light and the interior lighting is poor. We didn't spend a lot of time in the back of the house but the shower room, dressing room and bedroom could do with a little tlc. The kitchen is nice but I couldn't reach any of the hanging pans etc without a step stool and I'm not particularly short (5'5").

One of they few places we have stayed that is bigger than it looks in the photos. Lots of room for us and two dogs who especially appreciated the large enclosed garden. Well furnished and spacious rooms with a fully equipped kitchen, Hot tub was a welcome relaxation after days on the hills and house located centrally for all the amenities in Aviemore.

This was our second time staying at River House Garden Rooms. It is a beautiful house with a beautiful garden and an amazing hot tub. It is quite large for two people and has everything you could possibly want. The fresh flowers, bubbly and shortbread are a very welcome touch too. The location is ideal, being just across the train tracks from the centre of Aviemore.

8.0 / 10.0

On the whole this was a fantastic stay in a great location within Aviemore. The only negatives were how tired the accommodation looks, could do with a lick of paint and the leaky radiators could do with being fixed. Of course it adds to the charm of what is obviously a historical property. The open staircase to the rest of the house was quite eery at first! We did find the private garden to be absolutely excellent, and the newer lounge area extension was fabulous. Kitchen was also very well appointed.

10.0 / 10.0

Absolutely perfect. Loved watching the birds in the morning over breakfast and dinner, such a variety visited the feeders. Great location to explore the Cairngorms and come back and relax in the hot tub. The luxury and comfort we were looking for on this trip. The only slight criticism is the bed was a tad firm for my liking. We really hope to return, such an interesting and gorgeous place to stay.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property in a perfect location. So many different birds to watch in the garden, we were even treated to a visit from a red squirrel. The house has everything you could need and is a larger property than photos suggest. Some lovely touches too on arrival such as log fires prepared for use, a bottle of prosecco and shortbread to enjoy. Although we didn't use the hot tub it was an added bonus to a perfect home

Just returned from this lovely lodge. The place was very clean and comfortable and in a perfect location. Minutes from the street and a great pub a minutes walk away. Plenty of local walks for us and the dog with many great locations close by. Everything is provided in the lodge, great shower and constant hot water. Living area was lovely with a great view of the garden. Couldn’t really complain about anything to be honest. Possibly a bit of modernisation could be done as bits look a bit tired. Maybe a bigger tv in the main living area and a Bluetooth speaker? But we are already looking to book again next year, so there are no real complaints! Aviemore and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, everyone is incredibly friendly and highly recommended. This lodge is in the perfect spot to take advantage of it, off street parking, behind electric gates and a dog secure garden. Company were great to deal with and very helpful and efficient! We will be back, but hopefully for longer!

We had a great time at this location, loads of space for two people, great location. Only fault's were the cleanliness of the villa, needs a good day of dusting and a general tidy up of the villa, looking a bit tired in a lot of areas, otherwise was a fabulous place to stay, and great value for money would recommend this villa to anyone

6.0 / 10.0

A lovely setting. Main lounge was beautiful (if difficult to keep warm). House didn’t feel very clean (lots of dog hairs everywhere). A few quirky issues such as the electronic gates not working properly and the tv remotes not working (despite us replacing batteries), lack of kitchen crockery and plates etc This did not detract from a very enjoyable week but but overall place felt a bit tired and in need of some TLC.

10.0 / 10.0

Just had a great week at the cottage. The facilities are excellent as is the view from the lounge . The big glass windows and log fire are perfect. Our only slight issue is the description of the studio that’s within the grounds. It’s literally right outside the front door and feels slightly strange knowing someone is living there. It just makes you slightly conscious that you’re not totally alone. Given it’s advertised for romance and honeymoons, it’s just something to be mindful of and maybe a little clearer on the website. Apart from that it was perfect and we would definitely book again

10.0 / 10.0

We really enjoyed our week at River Garden cottage. It was so comfortable and warm and cozy. Everything we needed was provided and it was just a 2 minute walk into Aviemore which is a really nice town with everything you could need. It’s also a really good place to use as a base to visit all the other places.

Fantastic cottage in a wonderful location . Beautiful walks from the doorstep . Just down the road from a wonderful pub with roaring fire with very friendly staff. The cottage was well equipped and rooms well proportioned . Loved the woodburner in bedroom and the hottub was so relaxing after walking all day . The snow made our stay even more magical . Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, loved the beautifully decorated tree and decorations that welcomed us and our very generous hamper. This property is very unusual, guests rooms occupy the bottom part of the house with far reaching views across the gardens down to the river. Great location very close to the town centre but also located in a very quiet area. The Kitchen had an excellent range and big fridge but lacked some of the things that us as keen cooks missed. Particularly a good set of sharp knives and good size dinner plates this side let the otherwise well equipped kitchen down. The halls and bedroom and dressing room are very dark and the access by stairs to the upper floors although blocked off was weird and a bit spooky. So sad that the rest of the house is unoccupied. The hot tub was a delight and serviced regularly during our visit. Bed was very comfortable but dark carpets show up every speck throughout the property which is not ideal. Our two Dachshunds loved the garden which was very well secured for them, electric gates good idea but a bit temperamental. To sum up we had a lovely stay on balance in this lovely part of the world.

This is the second time we have stayed at the garden rooms, because we loved it so much! Amazing location- to be so close to the town but yet in the peacefulness of the garden. Spacious rooms. We love cosy nights in the lovely lounge with the log burner, watching the birds in the garden. Fabulously equipped kitchen and utility. Secluded hot tub to relax in every day after our adventures. Returning felt like coming back to our own holiday home. We love all the ‘stuff’ in and around the rooms that make it feel really lived in. Planning next years return trip!

All facilities you need for a relaxing break, Top of the range cooker and fridge but crockery let's it down as it's spent to long in the dishwasher and needs replacing. Lovely garden for sitting in the sun ☀ . Very quirky design mix of mordern and old. Shame that upstairs wasn't been used.

We stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. It has everything you could possibly ask for. The living room is large and bright and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. The dressing room off the bedroom is fantastic. I have never stayed anywhere that had so much space for hanging your clothes. The bedroom is large and the bed which is super king size and very comfortable. If you visit in the winter, you could light the log burner. There is actually one in both the bedroom and the living room and there is a plentiful stack of logs provided too. The outside space is absolutely fantastic. It is a nice sized, enclosed garden with a variety of places to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility. Then there is the hot tub….we had quite an active holiday, every day we were hiking, running or cycling, so at the end of the day it was just perfect to be able to relax in the hot tub. Absolute bliss…so would we recommend River House a garden Rooms? Absolutely!

We had a superb time at the River House Garden Rooms. The location was excellent and the lodge was fantastic. Sitting out in the hot tub in the mornings was very relaxing.

8.0 / 10.0

On the plus the location is excellent for Aviemore and the surrounding area with plenty to do in easy reach. The lodge is quite big for two people and the bedroom is dark which was a real plus for me, the garden is large and well kept with plenty of seating and parking and the river is a short walk from the bottom gate. Hot tub is an added bonus but... see below On the negative, cleaning wasn't the greatest thick dust in the bathroom and in the bedroom on the walls. The lounge which is large and with very nice windows is just to hot to sit in a bit like a conservatory in summer with nothing to cool it, some form of air cooler/conditioner would be a bonus here. Lastly with the hot tub just off putting to notice on the morning of departure it isn't drained between guests just topped up and chemicals added!

8.0 / 10.0

This property is in a great location with everything in walking distance. Would definitely return to this property.
