We recently had a big family get together here, and what a fantastic lodge this is. Clean, spacious and excellent facilities. Even with so many of us, we had ample space. Just a few minutes from the centre of Aviemore made this the perfect base for us to travel out doing Loch walks, quad biking, Watersports and horse treks. It was great to come back and ease our tired bones in the hot tub and have a BBQ. Our little girl was also thrilled to see the trampoline in the front garden! The only thing I’d say is that the garden isn’t enclosed so if you’re bringing dogs you either need to stay outside with them or fashion a long leash which can be attached to something to let them wander. This was easily done & no problem for us. All in all, an awesome holiday & we plan to return as soon as we can.

Black Grouse Lodge ideal for large family group. Lovely garden. Well-equipped kitchen. Superb bathrooms. Only issue the pet hairs in the carpets. You could easily remedy this by asking folk to keep pets to wooden floor areas downstairs and away from sitting room. We're not pet owners or lovers! There was a lot of sneezing!

The Black Grouse was perfect for our large family gathering to celebrate a special birthday, the lodge is very spacious with ample kitchen supplies, outdoor and indoor seating/dining. The only disappointing aspect was that it advertises dog friendly however it is not an enclosed garden and the pond is very tempting for dogs on a hot day! However walks from the door are plentiful and green through woodlands within walking distance to the village. We would certainly recommend a stay here and hope to return next year.

This was our first time booking with Great North Lodges and unfortunately we have been left feeling disappointed in Black Grouse Lodge. It's a beautiful property in an excellent location with stunning views across to the Cairngorms and a private back garden. However, we did not feel the housekeeping was to the standard it should be. We found blueberries on the floor in the utility room on arrival, food left in the freezer, countless dirty dishes/glasses in the cupboards, leaking radiator in the kitchen. The living room curtains and pole fell on top of us when we tried to close the curtains at night as it was not secured and the carpet in the living room was threadbare. Outside there was a couple of sleepers broken/ missing on the bridge which left a gaping hole through to the river below. Other than a plant pot, there was nothing at all to stop people, children or dogs from potentially stepping on this which we considered to be incredibly dangerous. We found the property to be 'a bit tired' and in need of some work and attention to bring it back up to the standard advertised on GNL website.

This is a stunning and secluded home with plenty space for the entire family located in the heart of Aviemore. It has amazing views towards the Cairngorms, which keep everyone in awe as the weather changes. The housekeeping staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We called for extra bedding and someone was at the door half an hour later with additional bedding and offered to law the bed up for us. We also had an issue with the tumble drier and again we had someone out that day to look at it. The house has many extras for keeping everyone happy with hot tub and a trampoline and Xbox for the kids. This is an amazing property located on the Aviemore circular which is fab for walking and cycling. A beautiful home to base a stay from with all local amenities within walking distance and other attractions such as Landmark and Wildlife park only 10-15 minutes drive. Thoroughly recommend BGL to all.

Fantastic Lodge which was just perfect for all our family . Safe for the grandchildren, dog and my Mother in her 80’s. Has everything you could want with spectacular views of the Cairngorms as an additional bonus. Bedrooms spacious and comfortable. It truly is a special lodge . We have used Great North Lodges before and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them . Black Grouse Lodge is an absolute gem - hope to be back again in the future.

We had a fantastic week at Black Grouse. We are a party of 6 adults and 2 kids, the house has plenty of space for everyone, with a large lounge as well as seating areas around the house and a large dining table which can easily seat 12. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms had great showers. The kitchen is well equipped with a range style cooker but one oven door didn't shut properly and the fridge freezer is quite small for the number of people that the house can hold, there is another small fridge but a big fridge freezer would be a great addition. The hot tub was a favourite for everyone, although the cover clips need renewed. We were there during Storm Kathleen and the cover blew off and the tub got a lot of debris in it. The maintenance came the next day and changed the water so top marks to them. The house is about a 15 minute walk to Aviemore and is situated beside the Aviemore Circular so you can walk that route if you want to avoid the road. Loads to do in the area we done quad bikes, tubing, wildlife park and visited Loch Morlich. We really enjoyed our stay and already booked for next year before we left.

This property is a great property but it is a bit tired and requires some work done to the fabric of the building. We had problems with the hot water and its pressure.

Spent a lovely 3 nights at BGL in December 2023 with 5 friends. Great house with lovely view from rear of property of Cairngorms. House has everything you need. Had an issue with TV in lounge and a bedroom radiator but maintenance attended to it within 1 hour of calling them. Hot tub was fabulous and great to relax and chat with friends. Recommend take extra logs for fire if using every night. Enjoyed our stay so much we have booked again for this year

The lodge exceeded expectations. We were celebrating numerous events that we as a family had experienced this year. There was eight of us and a dog. Lots of space for us all without getting in each others way. Rooms spacious, very well equipped Lodge, met all our needs and more. Grandson especially happy with fussball and x box! We all enjoyed the hot tub, first time for me. Overall an amazing stay. Thanks for wine and shortbread

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Black Grouse Lodge. Have booked again for nest year already. Plenty of space for all our family, which is now much larger than when we first booked through GNL in 2012! Everything functioned, apart from one of the (many) ovens, so it was not a problem. Two fridges very helpful. BBQ a hit. The X Box and Football table great touches. Hot tub a great treat - however, we were so busy doing Highland Wildlife Park, Landmark, etc, etc, that we didn't get as much use out of it as we would have liked. Small suggestion - perhaps a new Vacuum cleaner for next year? Thoroughly recommend for large family groups with teenagers - ours welcomed the opportunities to hang out in different parts of the house. Well done, GNL - another winner for the McDowall family.

Great lodge but the floorboards upstairs are super creeky to a point that everyone wakes up if you’re using the bathroom in the middle of the night. Robes and slippers are a lovely touch
