2nd visit there, and 3rd and 4th visit already booked!
Another great stay at the property.
We were a group of 10 adults and there is plenty of space for everyone without it feeling overcrowded.
Fantastic location whether you are walking into Aviemore itself, or walking in the other direction to Loch Morlich.

Overall good
After 7 years staying at the Old Ministers house we have always thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is clean and very comfortable and in an ideal situation. This time we have had an issue but are attempting to sort this out direct with GNL.Also
I would mention that the dishwasher needs attention (as mentioned also last year!). It keeps coming off its runners on the bottom shelf and can be difficult to re attach.
Hopefully we will be back next year

Great stay
Really enjoyed our time at the Old ministers house. Hot tub was great, beds were comfortable and clean, house was within walking distance of the town so no complaints. That's our second time we have stayed at the house as a group and we would do so again.

Family break
The house is in a perfect location, walkable to Aviemore but close to Cairngorms, loch morlich and lots of other walks and trails.
The house has the perfect layout for multi generation family break but is showing signs of age and was a little dusty in places. Great enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs and a lovely outlook.

Great house in lovely location.
Wonderful place for family gathering such as ours. Lovely rooms, well appointed and comfortable. Could have done with more attention to amenities (no salt, no soap/body wash in bathrooms etc). Would highly recommend.

Excellent holiday home
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Minister’s House last week. It was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed for an extended family holiday. Amazingly spacious and well maintained with excellent views over the river. A really relaxing and tranquil setting and fantastic holiday home. We will definitely be back.

Family and friends
What a fabulous house for a get together. All bedrooms spacious, comfy beds and all en- suite.
Well equipped kitchen and the big dining room table was perfect to get everyone together.
Location was also excellent with easy access to Aviemore centre and all the activities.
Great value for money and would definitely recommend.

Long weekend stay
Fantastic house with loads of room and everything you need. Great BBQ setup and outdoor seating. The location couldn't be better. Close to Aviemore but also felt like you were not going to bother anyone with any noise. Would highly recommend.

A great house for our family to come together. Location ideal with plenty of activities on the doorstep.
House very well appointed, nice touches with tissues in bedrooms, robes for hot tub, lovely whisky and honey hand wash from Highland Soap Company (available in a shop in Aviemore)
Would recommend anyone looking for a large family house to book the Old Minister's House

Fantastic weekend stay
12 of us stayed over 3 nights and was fantastic. Communication prior to stay was excellent. On arrival it was clean and well appointed. The house and garden area was lovely with beautiful view. The suite at the rear was particularly impressive. Lovely hot tub area and the fairly lights a nice touch. Great location for exploring and adventures.
Would highly recommend and would stay again.

The Ministers Lodge
The Lodge was very comfortable and luxurious, I would definetly return. It was only a short walk into the centre of Aviemore. Lots of walking and cycle tracks around the lodge. The hot tub and BBQ area was a great hit with all the family. Plenty of spaces for 4 cars to park

Great location great accomodation
Just back from a long weekend here with family (12 adults)
The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, the location was great, quiet and relaxing but close enough to shops bars etc, rooms were spacious, little extra touch with gowns and slippers provided was great. Nice seating area outside aswell.
Plenty room for parking 4 cars.
Definitely would return to this property.

Lovely family stay
Great family stay, location fantastic for enjoying the Rothiemurchus estate. We had breakfast in the cafe next door and used the tree zone and mountain bike facilities. Also nice walk to the main town.
The property configuration worked perfectly. A few essentials such as milk, tea, coffee, salt n pepper would have been nice. The property was clean if not a little dated. The hot tub was a nice addition but did need some maintenance with the headrests and filter. Great stay and throughly enjoyed. Thank you

Fantastic location and a beautiful place to stay.
We have stayed in Aviemore many times over the last 50 years and this house was superior to all the rest. It is very comfortable , spacious and well equipped. It was not cheap but we shared the cost with 5 other couples, making it affordable.
I would not hesitate to return and would recommend to our friends and family .

Fantastic!
What a fantastic house! As a party of 10 adults we spent a long weekend there. The house feels like a 'home' and is warm, comfortable and well appointed. The hot tub was well used, especially by those after crossing the bridge at the rear of the house and going for a dip in the river! The location is great to take advantage of the trails leading from the car park opposite into the Rothiemurchus estate, the walking/cycling trail to or from Loch Morlich/Aviemore, or there was the bus option too for any non walkers/cyclists.
We will certainly return.
