We stayed in Alvie, number 4, and I have to say it was very cozy and warm. The facilities on the holiday park are excellent and there is something for every age group.
1.5
Location is great.
Facilities are good but the pool was different temperatures in different areas on different days?? It also had loads of sand in the bottom despite there being no obvious sand nearby. The changing rooms aren’t very clean and when using the spinner to dry our swimming stuff when I pulled my daughters swimsuit out there was a bug on it.
Check in: the staff were flustered and there were only 3 people needing served. We arrived on a day it was -6 and yet there was no heating on in the lodge and as you can’t check in prior to 5 pm, it took about 4 hours for the lodge to heat up! There was also mention of having to pay for electricity on the welcome letter but this didn’t apply for us.
If you want a shower, have one at the pool as there’s very little hot water. The hot water tap in our bathroom sink wouldn’t even turn on. There was no hot water at any point in the kitchen so we had to boil a kettle to do dishes.
There’s a lack of home comports that I’d expect such as no hand towels or bath mats provided which is dangerous when you are on holiday with young kids.
Aside from the mould in the lodge etc if the lodges were given an update and modernised and the staff seemed to enjoy their jobs, it would have been a pleasant trip.
Having stayed at both the resort and the hotel in aviemore, we would not return to the resort unfortunately.
2.0
It was a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyable. Location, facilities, proximity to Aviemore town centre.
Chalet is a bit tired looking internally. It was clean but someone needs to look up and remove cobwebs and dust on light fittings etc. Kitchen really well stocked.
2.0
Stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, no 14 for 2 nights with family. Supplied with everything you need for washing dishes. Pool was good, you dont have to reserve a time and they supplied towels. Would stay there again

very spacious accommodation, lovely quiet area, and only 10 minute walk to town

Outdated. Large rooms, but mouldy smell

Property was good, Silent and good pool. Communication was v bad, they weren't picking up the call anytime. I checked in around 9 pm and checked out a bit late and they charged me 29 gbp extra !! 😢
2.0
It’s a nice place to stay with family but needs some better cushions on the sofa and some basic renovations
3.0
It was a fairly nice property but in need of upgrade.
On site restaurant very nice. Lovely food and the staff were exceptionally nice.
Lovely walks in the area.
5.0
Everything great. Beautiful location. Nature in the doorstep - like deer walking past as you’re eating your Cheerios.
Map location from Expedia are a bit off.
2.0
Check in was quick and easy as was finding our chalet. Stayed in chalet 1 and the chalet itself was clean and tidy however definitely tired and in need of a refurb. Nothing was broken or anything but a lot of paint scraped and dated furniture and fittings. The grounds of the resort were lovely and lots of nice dog walks nearby. A short walk into town so good location wise. Great for families or dogs as had plenty of space and tranquility around you. Didn’t use the leisure facilities and ate in the bar one night as the dog isn’t allowed in the restaurant unfortunately so missed a lot of menu items due to this. Overall happy with our stay and would stay again purely down to the setting and location of the chalets rather than a hotel. But please update the chalets a little to modernise them somewhat. No bedside tables meant no where to put a book or glass or your phone and the bathroom was dated.
5.0
Nice property for the money we paid will defiantly be back. Staff in the restraunt were amazing with the kids
1.0
There's nothing to like about this place. Beds and sofas are filthy and full of animals hair . We spent hours cleaning the rooms. I'm very disappointed. The only thing kids may like is the swimming pool. By the way there is a bar infront of the swimming pool with full wide clear glass. But you're in luck if they let you in. We've been told it is fully booked and to try another day. Customer service is poor. They're not consistent with their information. If you travel with kids try other options this place is not family friendly place.
2.5
Apart from dated decor, the accommodation is clean and Very comfortable. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back.
3.0
I like the Spey Valley apartments cause they are spacious for a family with 2 kids. Great location getting into town and lots of food options around.
What can be better: - we payed for 4 people but the apartment was set up for 2 and we needed to ask for extra bedding and towels. The pool is only 25 degrees and it’s too cold for a play. The restaurant can be more encouraging for people to eat and spend time there.
5.0
Great location within a wonderful setting. Lodge was ideal and had everything we needed.
1.0
When we arrived we were told the leisure facilities were open however the pool was cold and jacuzzi not working, but it would be fixed soon. It was not fixed the while stay. The indoor leisure facilities was one of the main reason for choosing this resort.
The apartment had only 2 small saucepans to cook in an apartment that can sleep 8
3.0
We had a nice stay but the property is extremely dated, the one we stayed in (Spey 15) needs new mattresses and carpets, the pool to cold for children but we were able to use the sister resort for free which was great as we stayed their previously. The electricity is not included in the price!!! Expedia should communicate that. Staff were friendly and helpful it’s just a shame the Macdonalds aren’t updating it. :/
5.0
Beautiful place located inbetween mountains. Its quit and serene beauty. We booked a chalet which had fully equipped kitchen. Bedding, Linen and towels were of good quality.
Resort have badminton, pool, tennis, football pitch and a swimming pool as well.
We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it.
2.0
Family chalets are decent, just a bit small if you have numbers. Swimming pool is great and the food for adults is really nice. The options for children could be better.
Staff were friendly but some bar staff a bit useless.
4.0
We went to ski in the Cairngorms so the location was perfect only 20min away. The lodge was convenient after hours too as it was on the outskirts of Aviemore with plenty of places to enjoy a drink or dinner and supermarkets to stock up the fridge for breakfasts in our accommodation. The second bedroom was a little small for a second couple but we had plenty of communal space to relax inside. We didn't need the conservatory which i am sure in the summer months would be inviting but a bit chilly in January with snow outside. The staff we encountered were all extremely helpful and the inclusive log delivery service was a unexpected. All in all terrific value and above expectiations.
5.0
Our chalet did exactly what we needed it to do.
One suggestion for improvement would be to include full sized towels - it's rather difficult to dry yourself with a hand towel.
2.0
A very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The apartment was excellent, clean, spacious and lovely surrounding views.
1.5
We stayed for 3 nights as a family of 4 + dog in one of the apartments by the golf course. Location wise it was good as we could walk the dog by the golf course and there were shops and takeaways within 5 mins drive. Inside the room was in good condition and relatively comfortable with a few exceptions 1) not enough plates and glasses for a family of 4 2) shower pressure was bad 3) sofa bed mattress was passed it’s best and uncomfortable 4) beds weren’t clean with human hairs on mattress, pillows and sheets (hotel then provided clean bedding). They have a nice pool and a restaurant but we didn’t get to try it as staffing was low so they couldn’t open. Staff are friendly and helpful when available but we couldn’t get anyone to pickup phone after 9pm. Overall we were happy with our stay but would likely try another b&b or hotel next time we visit to see what else is out there.
1.0
I liked where the accommodation was, there is plenty to do and all near by. The accommodation itself is very over priced for a very out dated chalet. There wasn’t a heater in the bedroom where the kids stay in so room was very cold. Carpet is old and stained throughout and chair was wet when we arrived. Bin bags full of the last people’s rubbish was left outside the door and their dirty bedsheets in porch area that hadn’t been taken away before our check in time. Cooking utensils etc were old and stained and felt like u didn’t want to use them because they looked dirty. Only one bath towel was provided for 4 people I heard other people complain to reception that they had no towels for their accommodation either. There was no towels provided for swimming 3 days in a row that we went but they used the same excuse each day that there had been a power cut. When we arrived nobody was in reception I waited about 5 mins before somebody tried to help with my enquires but said he couldn’t it turned out he was the maintenance guy that would explain why when I tried to ring allday the day before arriving nobody answered the phone as there was numerous occasions throughout our stay that reception was unattended. The Jacuzzi was out of service throughout our 4 night stay. They never had any entertainment information and said I would have to go back later or the next day so that they could get some printed off. I would actually ask for a refund if I thought I’d any chance of getting one.

The lodges are great. However we had trouble contacting the resort to let them know we would be late

Enjoyed the stay, all the staff very friendly and helpful.

Very nice accommodation, shame about the half-term price!
4.0
Whole issue with missing bed linen and towels when we arrived, but once that was sorted out we really enjoyed our stay. We were in a 'standard' chalet, so werent expecting too much, but it was clean, had everything we needed and we absolutely loved it. Weather helps as always, but the chalet was warm and cosey when we came back from walks or golf. Great place and we will definitely be back!!!
1.5
Great location and although the chalet was dated it was clean, comfortable and well equipped. On paper the Resort has a range of sport/leisure facilities but in practice they are run down and not really available. The pool closed several times during our stay - chlorine, water temperature issues - and the sports hall looked abandoned. Very sad as it could be fantastic, but staff seemed complacent/not bothered about promoting facilities. Would stay for the location but the place needs a good shake up.
4.0
This propertybwas in a quiet location and was very comfy obly downside was the pool was closed 2 out of 3 days and thlack of commincation to advise you could use the pool at the hotel waa none. Was not told about the pool closing at 7pm for adult only so when i had a disappointed little boy i they had to question why another child was still in the pool and was told quite clearly they had asked thenm to leave but also added what do you want me to do "fish them out' x2...this waa very rude!!! The folder in the chalet tells you the swimming is open until 8pm then adult swimming from 8-9pm...all very confusing.
2.5
We all absolutely loved it!! I was a little concerned after reading the reviews on here but it exceeded our expectations. Beautiful walks, easy to get too, our room was huge, towels and bedding smelling lovely. Swimming pool, gym, sauna and steam room were perfect. I'll 100% be back
5.0
Great experience.
Easy check in and checkout
the gym could do with an update, the Jacuzzi was being worked on but hey you dont really go to this resort for the stay more the area in my opinion.
5.0
Lodge was very nice but a little tired looking. Could be doing with an uplift. Comes with everything you need and very cosy.
4.0
Property was great for value and exactly what we needed as a base for enjoying avimore. There was a couple things needing updating however staff were helpful.
Only thinf is they need you to book a day im advance for awimming and theres no movement with timings which is unfortunate when you have a young family and kids work to their own timetable. It would have been good to have some wiggle room.
Good stay overall
2.5
Very nice cabin and nice and quiet, also good facilities. Kids really enjoyed their time here.
1.0
Great location but very dated property. Was fine for us as a group of friends on an adventure weekend but I wouldn’t have liked to take small children or a family.
2.0
The place is good but the cabins do need a bit of TLC, particularly so on the outside. I’d give it a 7/10.
2.5
The place overall was good for the money but the lodge was a bit outdated and could have been cleaner in the bathroom etc, found dead flies in various parts of the accommodation. The kitchen cupboard vinyl was pealing right off and the smell when we entered was rather fusty.
We found the beds apart from the sofa bed to be really comfortable and the sheets clean.
2.0
Our trip was fine, it is a good location. As noted in other reviews the accommodation and the resort is a bit tired and dated and in need of a refresh.
Our apartment was clean and spacious, and the need for a refresh would have not been such an issue if some basic provisions had been in place in the kitchen, such as
A food starter pack of coffee/tea/milk/sugar and perhaps even some bread.
A bread knife and chopping board.
A tea towel.
Without these basic provisions we dwelled more on the need for a refresh more than we would have.
