This centre had everything we needed. Our unit was spacious and cosy. We were so grateful to be able to check-in very early because of the storm. Our granddaughters had great fun in the pool which was very child friendly with lots of inflatable toys for them. It’s a great location to explore Aviemore and the Cairngorms.

Whole issue with missing bed linen and towels when we arrived, but once that was sorted out we really enjoyed our stay. We were in a 'standard' chalet, so werent expecting too much, but it was clean, had everything we needed and we absolutely loved it. Weather helps as always, but the chalet was warm and cosey when we came back from walks or golf. Great place and we will definitely be back!!!
