“For families prioritizing activities and ease of access to Aviemore, this resort remains appealing. The woodland lodges, while showing their age, are redeemed by on-site leisure facilities and kids' entertainment. A complimentary bag of logs for the burner adds a nice touch, compensating for the limited cooking facilities in some lodges.”
