When my husband and I booked for our 2nd visit to the resort this year we could only get booked in to the Academy hotel, however when we arrived we were welcomed by Gordon and he surprised us with an upgrade to a woodland lodge...WOW! It was absolutely magical. The surrounding area was so peaceful and tranquil. When we entered... More

Stayed for a long weekend end of october. Directions on where to go on arrival were quite unclear. On arrival after booking two double rooms for 3 nights we were told we had one room for one night, This was quickly rectified however and we were directed to a separate building for our room. Ok when the weather is fine... More

We stayed in a Highland Lodge for 3 nights on a DBB basis. The lodges are furnished to a high standard and, while not cheap, give you the freedom of a holiday home without having to worry about mealtimes. The DBB option gives a choice of two restaurants - an Italian (Giovanni's) and a traditional Scottish (Aspects). Menu choice was... More

We stayed for 3 nights over Oct half term taking their all inclusive deal, that includes a freebie each which would have been easier to choose from if it had been in written form rather than a chanted list. Communication is not their strong point, - at check in we could barely understand the receptionists strong east European accent and... More

We recently spent 3 weeks touring Ireland and Scotland. As a result we stayed in a variety of accommodation types; some have been expensive and some were very cheap. We haven’t been disappointed with any of them. You could argue that the bed wasn’t just so in a few, that the bathroom didn’t have the most room, etc but to... More

We were very disappointed with our trip to this resort, it sounded fantastic cinema, pool, spa, shopping, lots of restaurants... What a let down the nicest thing about this hotel was our executive room which to be fair was lovely... The reception is a corner of a bar and offered terrible first impression, we were told on check in the... More

We stayed here on the 1st weekend of the school holidays Sun-Tue. You receive an A4 guide to whats on in the resort when you arrive. We noticed that it says the spey valley leisure arena was open from 8am until 9pm, so we planned our day around this. We decided to go to the soft play area at the... More
