    We had a fantastic stay at Fraoch Lodge. The hosts were extremely helpful in providing tips for hiking in the Cairngorms and even left out supplies for a packed breakfast when we wanted an early start. The lodge itself was comfortable, warm, and very clean. The location in Boat of Garten was perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings. it was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend it.

    Lovely stay exploring the Cairngorm area. Andy's local knowledge was invaluable. Breakfast delivered in a cool box with fresh bread. Helpful advice on local activities. Kitchen facilities available. Comfortable beds and good showers. Enjoyed the lounge area. Fresh fruit and homemade jam for breakfast. Drying room for wet clothes. Friendly hosts and warm atmosphere. Highlight was the delicious porridge.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    Our stay at Fraoch Lodge was fantastic. The owners, Rebecca and Andy, were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They provided us with tips for wildlife spotting and recommended the best hiking trails. The homemade breakfast with delicious bread and marmalade was a real treat. The lodge had a warm and homely atmosphere, and it was impeccably clean. The location in Boat of Garten was perfect, with beautiful walks through the pine forest and the peaceful Loch Garten nearby. I would highly recommend this accommodation for a wonderful stay in the Cairngorms.

    the room we had was clean and comfortable with excellent shared facilities, and the breakfast provided was delightful and scrumptious. We were able to enjoy some friendly conversations with the owners and the family atmosphere certainly added to the experience.

    We found the prices slightly expensive compared to other similar hotels in the area.

    Great value and friendly staff. the communal breakfast table was a nice touch and made for a friendly atmosphere. the packed breakfast of homemade bread and marmalade was delicious. the location was perfect, with pristine pine forests for gentle walks and peaceful Loch Garten just a short drive away.

    The check-in time of 5pm was a bit inconvenient, especially since the rooms were ready. It would have been nice to have the option of checking in earlier.

    We enjoyed our stay very much! The hotel was very clean and had great facilities such as a drying room and a kitchen to cook our own food. The location down the mountains was perfect as it was close to lots of different activities in the area without being in the overly touristy areas. The breakfast provided was delicious and sustainable, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, providing us with great advice on hikes and things to do for our family.

    No complaints.

    The property had a great atmosphere and was beautifully decorated for Christmas. the hosts were friendly and welcoming, always ensuring that guests were comfortable. the location was ideal with stunning scenery and plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy.

    The room we stayed in was disappointing. the mattress was old and lumpy, causing a terrible night's sleep.

    Friendly hosts and cozy atmosphere. Delicious breakfast and comfortable room with a nice view. The location was perfect for exploring the outdoors and convenient for walking to nearby restaurants and shops. Plus, the owners provided great recommendations for things to do in the area.

    Limited wifi connectivity and some noise in the early mornings. Room did not have a working lock, which made us feel a bit uneasy about leaving our belongings alone. However, overall a great experience and we would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful and enjoyable nature getaway.

    What a gem! The location was perfect, nestled in the peaceful countryside. The cozy living room with a crackling fire was the best spot to unwind after a long day of exploring. The hosts were incredibly helpful, providing tailored hiking recommendations and making us feel right at home. Plus, the self-catering kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to whip up meals. And the best part? The price was unbeatable for such a fantastic facility.

    There were a few aspects that didn't meet our expectations. The rooms lacked tasteful furnishings and felt cramped with limited storage space.
