Room for improvement, but very comfortable.
Our week in Lodge 4 was lovely, but we had some thoughts on simple things that could have made it excellent. Firstly, staying midwinter means lots of coats and wet shoes are likely, but there were no coathooks anywhere in the lodge, only a tiny doormat, no shoe rack or tray. There's plent of space for all these things and they're not expensive to put in, and would have made a huge difference. Secondly, the kitchenette was as described (basic), but if you provide a microwave comi oven, pyrex-type dishes for cooking in it ought to be provided too. We had to use the crockery and pray it didn't crack (it didn't). There was a persistent drawing smell in the main bathroom too, so a little tlc on the plumbing would be good. But having said all that, we had a really comfortable week, and having the convenience of restaurant, bar, gym and pool onsite, as well as Tesla chargers was exactly what we wanted, with the privacy of an exclusive and spacious lodge. Would definitely consider staying again in the winter.

It could be amazing, but…
It has the makings of a great resort but falls short on so many levels. It’s really tired with the woodland lodges in need of a refurb. Things like loose tiles in the bathroom, faded/worn carpets / kitchen cupboards misshaped and not closing properly. Kitchen facilities in the lodge also weren’t great. No oven for cooking, no knives for chopping food, pans were dirty in the cupboard too. There were no cushions on the couches in the lodge for added comfort and a rug underfoot would have been appreciated. The staff were friendly enough but just didn’t go the extra mile where needed. We requested a high chair in the lodge for our baby but they forgot and when I asked again they said they couldn’t get one until the next day. I then suggested that maybe they could borrow from one of their 3 restaurants. They then managed to organise this but no one was available to deliver to the lodge for me. I had to carry the high chair from the hotel to the lodge whilst carrying an 8 month old baby. As I said, their were friendly, helpful when prompted but just a bit thoughtless in their delivery. Great woodland area for our little boy to explore but things like fallen fences and barbed wire should be taken care of maintenance. The team in the kids activity centre were really friendly and the pool / soft play were nice and clean. This was the reason I booked this place but I don’t think I’d return again until a refurbishment takes place.

Not our first time and not our last at the Woodland lodges. Great deal for families or groups. Lodge is roomy and well maintained. In the heart of Aviemore, easy to walk the strip. Had great weather so walked everyday. Breakfast buffet welcome start to the day.

Had a fantastic stay in the Woodland Lodges. Really lovely cabins that were so fresh and had plenty of space. Clean, comfortable beds, gorgeous setting. Any of the staff we spoke to were lovely. Breakfast was fab. Will definitely be back!

Fab 5 night stay
We had a wonderful stay in the lodges, however the lodges could do with a refresh and some of the furniture is looking dated and could do with some modernisation. But overall a great 5 night stay

The lodges are large, well situated and generally have good facilities. They are a bit tired looking now though and would benefit from some upgrading. However the standard of cleanliness was high. I would stay again taking everything into account. Had a fab holiday.

Overpriced “luxury”
Stayed in lodges and these must have been amazing in their day but the state of the lodge is like a run down caravan. The resort itself although clean disappointed in all areas leaving the impression that the place is looking run down. There are areas shut down. Large areas not covered by street lighting due to them not working, leaving pathways in darkness, left feeling unsafe. The lodges are next to walking route so you have meandering people walking past. The lodge itself although impressive with the en-suite rooms has a tiny kitchen for the space in the cabin, certainly wouldn’t like to cook for a cabin at capacity. There was no instructions or info left to help, perhaps email would have been good due to Covid. There were lights out in neatly every room, inside and out and walking round you could see others had similar issues. The ceiling in the rooms and bathroom are showing signs of disrepair. Toilet handles loose, mould in showers, ripped furniture, outside steps not even. Certainly not worth the money charging and looking at the hotel, wasn’t impressed so wouldn’t look to rush to book in here.

A little tired looking but overall comfort is very good. Difficult situation because of COVID and check ins could have been staggered a little to avoid the queuing. Breakfast is only decent but the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Disappointing
We booked 3 nights in the Woodland Lodge. It was extremely expensive for 3 nights and it looked nothing like the photo on the website. I spent most of my time in a queue at the hotel reception raising issues. We were supposed to have wifi, we didn't have it for the whole visit due to a router issue which they clearly knew about before we arrived, the kettle broke, the safes didn't work in two of the rooms and although check in was at 3pm we didn't get access till 5 on the first day. These lodges are very close to the A9 so there is quite a bit of noise. The staff were pleasant and tried to help but I have to say for the amount we paid for a luxury lodge we were disappointed.

A Winter wonderbreak!
The lodge was outstanding - very luxurious, spacious, quiet and accessible. Everything was above the standards we expected - en-suites in every room, to personalised toiletries. The log fire added to the ambience on a winter's evening. A really special place!

Nice and Enjoyable Lodges, but needs Maintenance
The Lodge is spacious and very nice, but it seems the hotel is not maintaining the lodges well. My lodge had a problem with the toilet flush. when I asked to fix it, the hotel technician told me he knows about it and fixing will take a minimum 45 minutes. I was wondering did they gave me the lodge while they know that the lodge has problem. They took one hour to fix the problem which was a time wasting. Also when I arrived at night, the water was cold and could not take a shower. I called for support at night and the respond was very slow from staff. Next I had a meeting with We discovered later that the water heater was turned off!!! due to this, the operation manager was a too nice and gave us free breakfast during our whole stay.
