Aspen Lodge - Guest Comments

We want to make sure our guests leave Aspen Lodge feeling happy and content. Here is a sample of the feedback we've received.

Excellent week walking and mountain biking around Speyside. Bird watching particularly good - Black Grouse lek & Capercaillie highlights. House warm & well equipped. Thanks for another good week.

Second visit just as good! We had snow and saw Nethy Bridge as a beautiful winter wonderland. Cottage very comfortable and cosy. Looked forward to returning to it after long walks (the walk back from the Revack Estate was enjoyed by all).

A wonderful stay at a cosy cottage. Beautiful scenery. A little disappointed we couldn't see the snow!

A week of skiing and cycling. Good to come back to a nice warm home from home. Good cottage in good location.

Great house, great location. Fantastic walks with the dog and great scenery. Weather - all four seasons in one day! What a fantastic place to live. Look forward to coming back.

Thank you v much - fab house & all the little extras (Christmas tree, festive fizz, milk, cake & bread) much appreciated - lovely touch! Great walks on your doorstep and a lovely warm house to return to - perfect!!

Back again! Still love the house, love Nethy Bridge and love Speyside!! Glorious weather, 2 red squirrels in the garden yesterday & crested tit in the forest. Thanks for having such a great house - see you again soon!

Great holiday. Weather has been very good. Cottage lovely. Warm & very comfortable. The kids loved it - especially the lego!

We really enjoyed the great walks and cycling trips from the house. The 'library' is great. We had extremely nice weather. Fab!

Wonderful holiday home. Very comfortable & convenient location. Lots of rain but great to be back in this area again. Recommend a visit to the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd and Loch Garten when it's calm and the reflections are showing.

One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in - did not want to go home! So many great walks on the doorstep.

We have had a wonderful week - the house is lovely and the weather has been very kind. Just what we had been hoping for!

Again, great wee house. Our son loves all the hidden cupboards. Only had 2 dry days all week but made the most of it. Look out for the red squirrels out the back - really bonny! Thanks.

Had a fantastic week and for a change the weather was great! Cottage a fantastic base for exploring the area. Very well suited to children. Garden great for our two boys. Plenty of room for the family that joined us for 3 days. We'll be back!

Our second visit and most definitely not our last. We will be back next year. The cottage is as wonderful as before and cannot be faulted in any way. Weather a bit hit and miss but a great week was had by all. Many thanks to Steve and Fiona.

Fantastic cottage - great holiday - good weather. A great house for exploring the area - lots to do!

Fantastic house. Fabulous weather. Will be back!

Fantastic week in Nethy Bridge. Aspen Lodge is a home from home, so comfortable and everything you could need and more AND the weather was great. Hope to come back to Aspen Lodge next year too!!

Loved the house - very comfortable & homely & extremely well equipped - best SC accommodation we have ever stayed in. Ideal for the dogs with safe garden & great walks. Will definitely be back - hopefully for 2 weeks!

Great location - our son calls it the 'Handy House'! House was really nice. I loved the back cupboard and our wee boy loved all the hiding places. Bike hire at Boat of Garten was really good - very friendly staff. Weather was typically Scottish but it didn't spoil our holiday!

Good accommodation! Nice walks. We had a good week despite the weather. Recommend Mount View for dinner - great! Old Bakery in Carrbridge; Deli in Aberlour; Mustard's butcher & coming home to Aspen Lodge!

A fantastic accommodation and well recommended. A good week has been had by all. The accommodation was well equipped. Thank you.

A really lovely house with everything we needed. Our 1 and 4 year old were very happy here. Thank you.

Fantastic cottage & brilliant weather. A good rest has been enjoyed by all. Walks along river & Speyside Way enjoyable and smoked salmon from smokehouse delicious!

An enjoyable stay in Nethy Bridge. Loved the house and its position. Lots of wildlife highlights.

Fantastic cottage. Will definitely be back. Very relaxing and well equipped. Thank you.

A lovely, relaxing weekend - the kids loved it and had lots of fun in the igloo. Very much enjoyed our visit to the cafe at Glenmore Visitor Centre - great cakes!

Had a great few days. Lovely home. Will be back again. Logan loved the igloo the last family built! Thank you.

Igloo! Igloo!

Fabulous short stay in a lovely house. We got 12" of snow and built an Igloo! Superb!

Amazing house very well equipped for young families. Wonderful setting. Thanks.

A very cosy home to come back to after a great day's skiing. We'll be back. Thanks.

A lovely week's stay. Came here to attend a wedding. Loads of things to do. Skiing - walking - tree zone - bikes. Two very happy teenagers who didn't complain. Thanks!

A very cosy and pleasant stay. With great day of skiing and another of relaxing! House was very accommodating. Thanks!!

A fab holiday in comfy surroundings topped by a proposal of marriage!! Lovely!

We have had a wonderful family Christmas due in no small part to the lovely house. Great snowy walks in forests and around the edge of frozen Loch Garten.

Lovely house, very comfy and welcoming. We had a brilliant break and will most definitely be back. A real home from home. Thank you so much.

We came for the snowboarding ... simply brilliant house ... we'll be back!

Awesome weekend! Have been snowed in this gorgeous house. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation!

Lovely house! Very child friendly & so many lovely things for us to use. Great spot for adventures by foot and on bikes. Didn't use van at all while we were here! See you again soon!

Lovely house and very well equipped. Thank you, Steve and Fiona. Great to meet you both & look forward to seeing you in the future.

Very convenient and well equipped cottage. Warm and comfortable despite some very mixed weather. Recommend Andersons restaurant in Boat of Garten, great food at v reasonable prices.

A lovely relaxing week in a very comfortable cottage. We've had a great week despite the weather turning cold and wet. Hope to be back again.

Great week ... great weather ... great location! Would echo earlier comments re fish n chip van - Fab!!

What a fantastic hideaway for a few days. You can really forget everything at home. The house is better equipped than my own home!

A truly wonderful cottage to spend a week in Scotland. All amenities you could need. Recommend chip van on Monday and Mountain View Hotel.

Terrific cottage, very child friendly and great garden. We have had fabulous weather all week. Highlights have been the Osprey Centre, Steam Railway, Heather Centre and Fort George. Our eldest son has renamed the village Nessie Bridge!

Wonderful stay - good weather, house and garden wonderful. Thank you! 

We should have packed more sunshine but had a great time otherwise! My children have decided they want to live here. We love Scotland!

Had a great week. Enjoyed walks around Nethy Bridge very much. Good location. House excellent.

Exceptional cottage with exceptional facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend local walks and bike rides - superb!

Fabulous cottage, very well equipped and a real homely feeling. Wonderful location for all local attractions although you could quite easily spend an entire week relaxing and enjoying Nethy Bridge. Cycling and wildlife spotting wonderful. Fish and Chip van on Monday evenings a real treat. Highly recommended! Don't miss Osprey centre also.

 

Probably one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in and the welcoming touches were greatly appreciated. Without a shadow of doubt we will be back. Many thanks.

Wonderfully cosy and comfortable - lots of attention to detail. Only one problem - not a long enough stay! Hopefully back again next year!!

Had a good holiday with sun most days. Cottage very comfortable and very child friendly. Some lovely walks from Nethy. Saw tawny owl chicks and red squirrels. Ospreys at Loch Garten worth a look and saw a woodpecker there too. Cakes at Inshriach Garden Centre very good (and also a great place to see red squirrels close up!).

Relaxing week in a very well equipped house. Excellent base for walking and cycling with the Speyside Way outside the front door!

A very comfortable sanctuary to rest after a day sampling the many delights on offer in the area. The Highland Folk Museum is a must see.
