“The house catered for everyone, from the older generation, down to the smaller children.”

Great location close to many activities available in the area. We had a great week with all the family. Thank you.

“Superb location Great large garden space and play area for kids Lovely log fire Hot tub fantastic Hosts welcoming and friendly Pub next door very cosy and welcoming with good choice real ale.”

Large dining area but kitchen a bit small with very limited worktop space if catering for 15, although plenty equipment. Some showers could do with being updated and furniture a bit ‘tired’ though takes worry away if several young children! Overall conducive to a great holiday experience though.

“Our children and grandchildren joined us at Suidhe Lodge for two weeks in the Highlands.”

The location of the lodge was most convenient as we could walk along the River Spey, hike up hills, go to the wildlife park and visit distilleries easily and explore the Highlands. The lodge was very comfortably appointed with a nice living room and kitchen, large dining room table to enjoy family meal and en-suite bathrooms with each of the bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and the entire lodge was extremely clean and well maintained. The large yard had a play area for the kids and room to kick the football. The hot tub was sparkling and most inviting. We loved visiting the Suie Bar on the property to chat with the locals and enjoy the area musicians. Mike and Wendy were great hosts and we hope that we can visit the lodge again soon.

“Very happy with the accommodation.”

However not happy with Sykes' role. After receiving communication saying everything was paid, I learned that I had to pay £250 as a deposit to the homeowner. This I had to do direct and into a bank account I had not used. What's the point of an agency like Sykes when you have to undertake this yourself just prior to going on holiday. Yes, it may have been in the small print but it is an insecure and tedious task. When paying a lot of money I don't expect this inconvenience.Spoiled the experience somewhat. On a more minor point, I had assumed entry was at 3.00pm as the general guidance suggested. However, again in the small print it was actually 4.00pm.

“Excellent location for a family holiday”

We booked the Suidhe Lodge for a family holiday to celebrate a birthday. We had a fantastic week, the house is in a wonderful location, with a gentle walk down to Loch Insh close by. The owners are really friendly and helpful and let us use their two canoes, which they supplied with oars and life jackets, all free of charge. The grounds were perfect for the two small children in our group, with the play area and slide an unexpected bonus. We also enjoyed using the hot tub and the outside fireplace as well as the summer house. The house is beautifully furnished and very well equipped, especially the kitchen which has a dishwasher and a washing machine. We mainly self catered and found all we could possibly need in the kitchen. There is a Tesco in nearby Aviemore which is well stocked. All the bedrooms were comfortable and en suite. We also really liked the co-located Suie Bar, which was very friendly and had a good selection of ales and beers on and also has a pool table. The Bar has a folk night on once a week, which a few of our group went to and really enjoyed. Despite being so close, we didn't hear any noise from the bar when in the house or gardens. Our only reservation initially we the close proximity to the A9 but in actual fact this did not cause any problems and wasn't even audible. We went out on many trips both jointly and separately and thoroughly enjoyed walking locally and further afield out in the Cairngorms, which are breathtaking. There are also many parks and attraction nearby, which would suit a wide range of ages. We would wholeheartedly recommend Suidhe Lodge to anyone looking for a group holiday in a fantastic location with all the comforts of a wonderful house and the many extras including a bar on your doorstep.

“We had such a brilliant stay here.”

The owner was great he told us what we needed to know and if there were any problems we could just message. The house was amazing and exactly what we needed. The girls loved the hot tub

“Absolutely fabulous!”

Hired this cottage for mine and my brothers 40th birthday celebrations. We have been renting cottages for 15 years now for our birthday each year and this is by far my absolute favourite and the first time I have taken to write a review! We had 7 adults and 8 kids ranging from 6 months to 15 years. Bedrooms beautifully done out, fab kitchen to seat us all, loads of space that we didn't feel on top of each other, well placed for activities, lovely owners and a hot tub to boot!! Literally what more could we want! Will definitely be back!

“great place for family or friends or both to stay”

Owners on site were very helpful but not intrusive. Traditional large comfortable lodge house, with the added advantage of being attached to the Suidhe (pronounced suie) bar. Great hot tub too. Well placed close to local attractions, loch Insh and Aviemore.

“An ideal place for a large family gathering; spacious and very comfortable”

We stayed in this lovely Victorian house as a family of 3 generations and 13 people with ages ranging from 18 months to 74 years, not forgetting a large black Labrador dog! There was plenty of room for all of us and the enormous dining room table allowed us to share very enjoyable evening meals. There was no shortage of equipment for cooking too. The friendly, but unobtrusive, owners provided ample wood for a wonderfully warm fire every evening in the cosy lounge. The adjoining public bar was discreetly hidden away from the house but, once we found it, was a great hit with everyone and everyone was very welcoming. The hot tub was an added bonus and greatly enjoyed by those brave enough to try it in the rather wintery weather we had.

“Lovely setting, great property and friendly owners”

We stayed here for a relaxed meet up of several women in their 30's. The property is well maintained and has a lovely hot tub and garden which we made full use of. We were a bit worried prior to booking as the property backs on to a pub but actually we were not really aware of any of the people coming or going there but was also nice to have it there had we wanted to go in. There is a lovely kitchen dining area which is where we spent most of our time making lots of meals and the kitchen is very well equipped. The property is nicely decorated and the bedrooms are all very nice although some are quite a lot bigger than others. I would definitely recommend this property and stay there again. It would suit any group of people, young people or familys alike.

“perfect place to spend time with family and friends”

Just had a fantastic weekend at the Suidhe. If you are looking for the perfect place in the Cairngorms to enjoy everything that the area can offer look no further......We will be back.

“Perfect Christmas”

We stayed at Suidhe Lodge over the Christmas week 2014. Two families - 4 parents and 8 young adults ( 18 - 24 years ) and 1 dog. The accommodation was perfect, plenty of room for us all to spread out and make ourselves comfortable. Wendy (the owner) had obviously spent a lot of time decorating the lodge for Christmas - it was truly beautiful. We arrived to be welcomed by Mike (the owner) and the smell of mince pies and mulled wine wafting through the house - a perfect start !! The rest of the week just continued to get better. We frequented the bar/pub attached to the house and always felt welcome and part of the local community. Wendy and Mike live on the top floor of the house but you would not have known they were there. They went out of their way to make us feel at home and provide any extras that we needed (including a rolling pin and baking tins to make our own mince pies). The hot tub worked perfectly at all times. The surrounding countryside was beautiful with plenty of opportunities to walk the dog. All in all a wonderful Christmas was had by all - thank you Wendy and Mike.

“Great holiday home for weekend or longer”

We stayed here for a reunion of school friends. A beautiful setting and a lovely good sized house with nice sized bedrooms all with bathrooms. A lovely open plan kitchen into great sized dining room with all necessary equipment, was great for holding large candlelit dinners. lounges were really comfortable and cosy with log stove. Hot tub worked well and was a good size, the garden is really well kept and was great for playing in. I would definitely come back here again.

“Glorious hot tub, really friendly owners”

My friends and I stayed at Suidhe Lodge for a week following our final exams at uni. The house was really lovely, the rooms clean and everything was in excellent conditon. The garden is also gorgeous and spacious with (the highlight) a hot tub. The owners were so nice to us, recommending acitivities in the area and never failing to be incredibly kind even in the face of our stupidity when handling the hottub. There's a pub on site that is also really nice. We had a really great time here and I can't recommend this place strongly enough.
