really lovely stay at Wolf Lodge, great location. We stayed for a week of cycling and its located next to lots of amazing cycle paths. the sauna and hot tub were great. We were three people and it would be a bit cramped for any more.

Had the most amazing time at Wolf Lodge, it was cosy! Spotless and eveything you could want. Everything you need in the kitchen, we cooked a lovely meal every night and enjoyed it infront of the fire. My labrador felt right at home too, lazy mornings with the fire on. Great location with just a short drive into Aviemore. Already been looking when we can book and come again!

The location of this lodge is excelent. The facilities other than the sauna and jacuzzi are poor considering the cost. Little details have not been thought of, no welcome pack, the axe for wood is blunt and instructions for oven which is faulty are not provided. The design of the lodge is fun but everthing feels like it needs a bit of tlc the decking seems to be rotten in places and the treads outside are loose. The tv is very small for a holiday let of this cost. The garden is great for dogs and kids and a decent size. The forest bank outside the property close to where you park is used as a dog toilet by neighbours and even some rubbish in the wooded area. This is not pleasent for a holiday cottage experience.

We know the area well and have stayed in a few different accommodations. This was a treat because of the hot tub and the sauna. For the price we paid, the lodge is tired. The settee is very soft and not the easiest to get up from (being of a certain age). The kitchen is very function-able except for seeing the controls on the cooker. It functions well for a couple, would be small for a family of 4.

We recently stayed at Wolf Lodge, seeking a peaceful retreat from the daily grind, and it mostly delivered on that promise. Here's our take:

Pros:
- Hot Tub and Sauna: The highlight of our stay was definitely the hot tub and sauna. It was the perfect way to unwind after exploring the area. The hot tub was always warm and inviting, offering a relaxing experience every time we dipped in.

- Location: Nestled in a scenic spot, the lodge's location was ideal for those looking to connect with nature. The surrounding views were breathtaking, and it was conveniently close to hiking trails and local attractions.

- Cleanliness: For the most part, the lodge was clean. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were spotless, which is crucial for a comfortable stay.

Cons:
- Furniture Condition: While the overall cleanliness was good, some of the furniture could use an update or a thorough cleaning. We noticed dust on several pieces, which somewhat detracted from the experience.

- Drawers: A minor inconvenience but worth noting, some of the drawers in the lodge were broken or sticking, which made unpacking and storage a bit challenging.

Overall Experience:
Despite these minor hiccups, our stay at wolf Lodge was enjoyable. The rustic charm, combined with the excellent relaxation facilities, made it a memorable getaway. For those who prioritize comfort over perfection, this lodge offers a nice balance. We'd return for another visit, perhaps with a gentle reminder to the management about the furniture upkeep.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family of 4. Our kids age 11 and 8 getting too big for the small bunk beds. Could do with little TLC and outside areas really should have been wiped down before arrival as we were sitting outside.
Lots of facilities for the space.

The lodge had everything we needed for our stay and all information was provided without needing to ask. The instructions for how to use the induction hob were missing (someone mentioned this in a previous review), which are important if you’ve never used one before so I had to spend a good 30 minutes on the internet trying to fathom it out! And maybe the instruction manual needs an overhaul as some of the equipment in the lodge has been updated so not everything in the manual is relevant. We enjoyed our time at Wolf Lodge, it was comfortable and clean - I would stay there again for sure!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would book again. As very minor points, some areas could have done with a bit attention ie fence and decking being painted and windows could have benefitted from a wash but on the whole, lovely lodge and our family loved staying here.



Good location and facilities for a short stay.

Good, peaceful location just out of Carrbridge which has good facilities for eating out. The lodge has everything you would need. Space somewhat limited but fine for a short stay. Suitable for a couple and up to 2 children.

Place was dirty when we arrived, inch thick of dust, dog hair and dirt under the sofa. Rug was half hoovered by Henry which didn't pick up all the dirt. The dust was thick in a lot of places.

Oven could of done with a clean, looked like just the glass got a wipe.

It's in need of some TLC, rotton decking boards, hand rails etc. outside.

The op bunk bed has a non led GU10 bulb on a spot light screwed to the side like a night light. This obviously gets extremely hot and easily touched by kids who can easily get burnt by it. There's a nail sticking out the wall on the top bunk as well easily have a kid strick their head on it.

All the decor is just screwed into the walls splitting the wood. Not much thought gone into taking care of the details.

Had no way of infighting the fire or BBQ so had to contact to get that sorted.

Where you park is under huges trees and in the more windy days branches comes down so beware!

The neighbour in the house next door does DIY at 10pm which wakes your kids up. When confronted apparently it's fine because he is from Canada and his time is all off.

The hottub is on a slight slope. The lid for it is not meant for it and is not on a the manufacturers hinges system to easily open and close. So you have to wrestle it on and off (might not be easy for some folks) onto these poles randomly butchered onto the side of it.

Positives, Carrbridge is a great location. It's only a 10-15 min walk into the village, forest walks and landmark.

We had a fantastic stay at the Wolf Lodge (seven nights). The lodge was very clean, well presented and very cosy. Facilities / amenities, living area and beds were all clean and tidy. The lodge can be described as a “little small”. It’s more for a couple on a getaway break, or a small family of four (two adults, two young children). But the size wasn’t much of an issue for us (three adults) as we were only at the lodge in the evenings after going out for hikes during the days. The sauna and hot tub were fantastic to use after a day of exploring and adventuring. It’s location is well placed in a quiet peaceful area with local shops being only a five minute walk away. Their comprehensive app containing lodge and local area information was a very useful guide for us to use.

All in all, a great experience at a great price. We were very happy with our stay and will be looking to stay again in the future.

We stayed for 3 nights in May and had an enjoyable stay. The location is good and the interior was clean although dated. Some furniture was falling apart including a drawer front which fell off and some handles. The exterior could be cleaner, including the decking area, outdoor tables and chairs and the hot tub. There was no hairdryer provided as specified, but the manager brought one quickly.

The lodge was well equipped but small. I felt it was quite expensive for a dated, small property.

We loved our week here. Very tranquil surroundings. Garden lovely for sitting out in and hot tub was a luxurious touch which we used at least once a day. Fantastic location for Landmark and other local attractions. Would definitely stay again. Great to have a washing machine as well as dishwasher. Our 6 year old really enjoyed the lodge and the stair going up to the bedroom.

We loved the location In amongst the trees, had to put the sauna on to heat the bathroom and kitchen up, kitchen fridge was very smelly due to being turn off and shut and caused the kitchen to smell for the first 3 days, instructions for appliances are very basic or not explained the best, would come back in the summer in the better weather, hot tub and sauna was great and al beds were comfy and the kids loved it, 6/10

We spent a lovely week in Wolf Lodge which is well positioned to go exploring in the mountains. The lodge was small but had everything we needed for two adults to have a comfortable stay and everything was in working order. Unfortunately, all along the driveway were full dog poo bags left by the neighbour, which is not a great first impression. But the lodge itself was clean and tidy and we took full advantage of the hot tub.

The wolf lodge is a lovely idea but it’s a little tired. Several light bulbs were not working and the door to the downstairs bedroom did not close properly. Lots of the dishes needed cleaned before first use. The mattresses were too firm and the pillows were too thick (this is obviously a personal preference). The sauna timer kept getting stuck in the on position. Lastly there was a very large amount of dog poo on the bank opposite the car parking area which is obviously not the fault of the Wolf lodge or GNL but it is quite unpleasant and we had to make sure my son didn’t go near the bank. We had a lovely stay but we were a little bit underwhelmed given our expectations of GNL and we wouldn’t return to this property but would definitely book with GNL again!

Would recommend that you leave an idiots guide for the induction hob, couldn’t find instructions in manual file or online; we managed to get the oven to work though. Everything was great and a good base for walking and cycling plus day tripping

Cons:
On the small side which meant feeling cramped
The mattresses are not comfy which meant a couple of sleepless nights

I would still recommend property due to the pros

Housekeeping check matresses regularly and we will replace them now. We do market it clearly as a compact lodge on our website.

What a wonderful stay at Wolf Lodge. We were looking for a relaxing getaway and boy did it deliver.
Great size enclosed garden with hot tub for the perfect end to a busy day walking the beautiful scenery of Carrbridge, Aviemore and beyond.
The lodge itself is (dare I say it) a little tired looking in places, but that did not differ in any way from just how truly lovely it was and we would 100% book again.
What a hidden gem!

Wolf Lodge is ideally situated for exploring the Cairngorm National Park, within easy travelling distance of Aviemore. The lodge benefits from a log burner, hot tub and sauna. We have stayed at the lodge on two previous occasions and although there have been changes over the years, it is looking a little tired.
Generally the lodge is clean but it could do with a much deeper clean. Quite a few cobwebs about and a lot of dog hair.
The plastic glasses for the hot tub had seen better days and general cooking equipment is limited. The TV is quite small for the size of the room but it does have Sky. One key improvement would be somewhere to put hiking boots, wet coats etc.
On previous occasions we had been as a couple or with two children, it was a bit cosy for 4 adults.
The lodge is quite expensive compared to similar ones we have stayed in. The biggest shock on booking is the £500 breakage bond that is to pay up front and this can then take up to 14 days to be paid back after your stay.
None of this spoiled our holiday in this lovely part of Scotland.
