Twa Hoots Lodge is a log cabin in Aviemore close to The Cairngorms. This lodge is situated in a small neuk of chalet log cabins just a short walk to Aviemore and Rothiemurchus. Just along the road is The Old Bridge Inn, a local pub on the banks of the River Spey. The chalet log cabin is perfect for 4 people and is dog friendly too. Please note no wi-fi is available.

Homely, warm and cosy, clean and well equipped

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.



A lovely, long weekend in Aviemore

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.





Warm and cosy

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



Lovely stay at the Twa Hoots

A very accurately described cabin situated close the the pub, railway station and Aviemore centre, but also very private.

Nice lodge in a great location. Plenty of good dog walks nearby. Has everything you need as far as amenities. Slight mould issue in the wet areas (kitchen sink, shower).

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.

Disappointed the lodge didn’t have any WIFI. The app for the lodge said that there was free WIFI available but there wasn’t.
