We can't thank Ken, Gill and of course all their beautiful animals enough for making our stay and my birthday so peaceful and wonderful. We have stayed in many properties, B&Bs and hotels and never have we had such a welcoming experience. The pod was immaculately clean and they kindly baked a homemade birthday cake for me and sang happy birthday! There were delicious breakfasts in their cosy dining area, they gave awesome recommendations for things to do around Aviemore and they were kind enough to help out with dinner so last minute. We truly have had a great experience and have already spoken about making it a yearly trip. Whether you like peace and quiet, or if you like a wee blether and a play with some animals, it's perfect as Ken and Gill are happy to do either. 10/10 from a very happy couple. Run don't walk, get booking!

I bought this wee break for my daughter and her boyfriend for a Christmas gift, they absolutely loved it and said they can't wait to return. 😁 They both said they were made to feel very welcome and the folk were so friendly, warm and helpful. They loved the pods, so very comfortable and food was excellent.
