The Cabin was ever so sweet, all decorated for Santa coming, very comfortable, clean and cosy. We did enjoy our stay.

We did have a problem on Xmas eve when the remote control for fire would not work, my daughters went out and purchased a battery and all was good ... then on boxing day evening we tired to turn fire down and the remote would not work again! we could not understand why this happened as we had only just replaced battery... not knowing what to do we tired to call housekeeping and maintenance ... we could not get an answer... we tired batteries that were in the drawer , eventually found one that did work, so many did not work ... we put fire off and we were frightened to put it back on incase this happened again. Maybe someone should address this as when we could not get the fire to turn down or off, we really did not know what to do .
That being the only issue with our stay , yes i would be happy returning many thanks





A great festive stay

Location is fantastic, quiet and walking distance to the Main Street to bars, restaurants etc. . Cabin was clean and had a very cosy feel about it especially at night time. Maybe a little dated but it certainly didn’t put us off. Very comfortable and we had a great stay there.



Nice location….thats about it really.

We thought the place was looking a bit tired in places and needed an update, You can feel the springs in the main sofa when sat.
There is no oven only a microwave so be aware of that, although there is an air fryer. Kitchen otherwise was well stocked.
The property could have been cleaner on arrival, toilet in particular which I had to clean. Tiny old corner shower, if you are over 6ft its a squeeze.
Whilst it states there is no WiFi at booking, there clearly is as Netflix etc is available. Perhaps this code could be offered to guests?
Location is excellent though near the Old Bridge Pub.

For the money we paid, I would have expected a better place to stay.

Lovely place to stay.
Someone even left their amazon account on the TV so we watched Clarkson's farm when it was raining

Wir haben die Hütte zu dritt für ein paar Tage gemietet und waren rundum glücklich, Heizung funktioniert, warmes Wasser reichte für alle zum Duschen, Pub und Stadt und alle Wanderwege gut zu Fuß erreichbar, absolute Empfehlung!

We were delighted with Twa Hoots Lodge. We chose it for its handy location which allowed us to walk from the door - up the river, through the town, to local pubs and cafes, and explore the surrounding countryside - as well as being a short drive from lots of excellent hill walking. We also enjoyed a hill trip with the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd. The lodge was homely, warm and cosy, clean and very well equipped. A very comfortable bed and a good shower were also welcome after a day on the hill. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we contacted her with a few enquiries about our stay.

Twa Hoots was a comfortable lodge in an ideal location, just a short walk to a lovely pub and a short drive to Aviemore. It was also a short drive to the Cairngorms, Loch Morlich and various other scenic walks. The lodge was well equipped with everything needed for a stay.

It was great having the Sky TV, DVDs and the fire made coming back after long walks very cosy and comfortable. It was excellent the lodge was dog friendly and spare bowls etc. provided.

Our only minor issue was the lodge is a little dated and the living room furniture could be doing with upgrading. It can also be a little noisy being so close to the train line. However these things didn't spoil our stay and if we were coming back to the area, we'd definitely stay again as it was great value for money.

Great location and easy access to Speyside Way and the Aviemore orbital.

After an 8 hour drive the welcome pack for Christmas and the decorations were a pleasant surprise, thank you. We drank the wine before Christmas Day and we’re not ashamed.

Twa Hoots was warm and cosy and the gas fire soon warmed us through after being out all day.

We managed fine with 4G, Wif-Fi would have been nice to have.

The shower was super hot, it’s beginning to look a little tired.

We had a great week in Twa Hoots despite the challenges of snow and rainstorms. If you don’t like the weather in Aviemore, just wait an hour



A great location.

This property is in great need of a total refurbishment both internally and externally. The shower was functional, but despite my slim build there was VERY limited room for movement and there is no extractor fan in place.The lighting throughout the property requires upgrading. The property is, however, in close proximity to the town and a decent pub/restaurant is easily within walking distance.

The lodge is in an outstanding location to explore Aviemore and the Cairngorms. Quiet and comfortable. However, The lodge Is a little outdated and dusty in parts . We had an issue over heating as the fire did not work and neither did the radiator provided , this was rectified as soon as I raised this. The TV did not work , no signal to obtain the free view channels and when reading the guest book comments this has had a recurring mention , if this is advertised , then It should be fully working . That said, we enjoyed our stay and worth a visit .

This cabin is in a great location. It’s very basic accommodation though comfortable enough and clean inside. Fine for a basic break.

Outside, most chairs and surfaces were very dirty and lots of weeds in the gravel. Inside was very dark - needed a torch to use the oven. The main ceiling light wasn’t working. Neither was the gas fire which had a ‘danger do not use’ label There was a small oil filled radiator that we only found behind a chair the day we left. Bedrooms and shower room had working heaters and warm.



Comfortable, clean and well equipped.

I found Twa Hoots very clean , comfortable and extremely well equipped. It was in a lovely location and very quiet. My only complaint, a bit on the dark side inside the property, could be doing with brighter bulbs

Twa Hoots is a great spot for a short stay in Aviemore. Ideally located to Aviemore town and other activity centres within easy walking distances. It is compact accommodation and will fit a family of 4 fine.

It is clean and in good order, although the steps to the deck could do with being replaced as they feel as if they are about to rot out.
