    We had said in a message that it was part of our honeymoon from our wedding the weekend before, and the staff had gone out their way to put up some beautiful decorations for us... the bothie was beautiful and so cosy, we also loved the experience of cooking on the wood fire stove... 10/10 for the shower and water pressure that was amazing. Also, the games left were a very nice touch. We also had a good few walks and went to see all there was to offer, the little town of Ballater was very holsome and would recommended stopping for a meal in the local indian restaurant, all in all we would recommend the bothies any day and will definitely book again in the future.

    We love it all, Wouldn’t change a thing.

    We had a brilliant stay at the Cairngorm Bothies from start to finish. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved waking up to birdsong in such a peaceful, scenic setting. The location is perfect for a chilled romantic getaway — surrounded by beautiful woodland, fresh Highland air, and the soothing sounds of nature. The bothy itself was spotless, well-equipped, and finished to a high standard, with great quality linen, cosy touches, and everything we could possibly need for a relaxing break. Shauna was amazing — so caring, friendly, and genuinely helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Her warm welcome and local tips made our stay even more special. We left feeling completely refreshed and recharged.

    Not enough appropriate recycling bins in the bothy means that further sorting is required when depositing at the entrance.

    We really enjoyed the quiet and being connected to nature.

    An electric shower as a pose to the mixer, the one time in Scotland we actually reached 30 degrees and the last thing we wanted to do was light the fire for the hot water, but for the one off occasion it was fine, will be fantastic when the snow comes and the fire is roaring anyway.

    Absolutely loved the peace and quiet of the place.

    We loved the layout of the bothy and exploring the woods. We done plenty of lovely walks and would come back in near night to watch the rain with a hot drink by the door. My 6 year old absolutely loved his time there and we will 100% be back some time.

    Could have done with a bit more crockery and cutlery. We were short of a glass and a fork as family of four. The oven was also missing a proper tray. Other than that the place was perfect and quirky.

    It was comfortable and cute and the location was outstanding.

    Only down aide the showers are not hot without the log burner being on and the weather was definitely hot enough so didnt want the fire on as well but a cold shower is just as great definitely a way to wake you up in the morning.

    The bothies are so cozy, in an Amazing location its very peaceful and quiet. Have everything you need and the co-op is only 15 mins away by car. Will definitely stay here again can't rate this place any higher its the perfect little get away for a weekend.

    Amazing location within the forest staying in a beautiful log cabin. We've always stayed in hotels so this was our first time staying in a facility like this and my, what a fantastic experience! the peace and quiet, lighting the fire, great location to explore nearby villages and breathtaking scenery of the Cairngorms. The interior of the cabin was high quality, spotlessly clean with everything you need. Quality bedding and furniture throughout. Fantastic shower. Will definitely be back!
