Pine Marten Lodge is a great place to stay. Recommended for a family holiday. The lodge itself is fully equipped and immaculately kept. Hot Tub and log fire add to the relaxation. Lots to do in the surrounding areas as well as watch the squirrels and birds from the balcony.

We had such a wonderful stay at Pine Marten lodge over New Year. The lodge is so cosy and very spacious with a lovely log burner and very comfortable beds. The host was very helpful and great at communicating promptly. We loved exploring the local area and there are so many walks and places to visit nearby. We particularly enjoyed visiting Loch Uaine, Loch Vaa and Loch Garten. We also hiked up Ben Macdui, Cairn Gorm and Bynack More. There are also lots of restaurants within a short distance and we particularly enjoyed visiting the Pennybun and Rowantree restaurant both dog friendly. It snowed while we were here and the hot tub was the perfect way to warm up after a day adventuring. The lodge overlooks beautiful grounds and we really enjoyed watching the red squirrels and birds. We cant wait to visit again!

A lovely lodge with all the comfort for a pleasant stay. Plenty of lovely local walks on the door step. Daily visit from the red squirrel and a peaceful location, and on a rainy day the log burner made all the difference.

Hi, we had a really lovely week, lodge was really lovely. Comfy beds, well equipped & in a great location. Really enjoyed the hot tub & watching the squirrels would definitely recommend others to stay here. Just a few niggles we had, there was no hot water in the shower, it set off warm & then would go cold. Tried to contact the person who emailed us the details but they were on annual leave & then tried another email & phone number & no one got back to us. The other thing there was 5 of us & only comfy seats for 4 people, so 1 of us had to sit on a kitchen chair to watch a film & the final thing was we would have liked the deck outside to be swept up tidy. It was full of twigs & pine needles. This didn't spoil our stay but just things to improve on as it isn't cheap to stay here for a week & the small things matter.

We enjoyed our stay at Pinemartin Lodge, it was close to tourist area but was also quiet and relaxing, the best of both worlds.

Fantastic property and location finished to a very high standard an authentic log cabin in the woods experience. So much so our three year old granddaughter thinks its the three bears cabin! And now wants a hot tub at home!!!! lol A unique experience the only thing missing for us was snow! But we would highly recommend it, wonderful walks straight from cabin through the woods deers and red squirrels our dog loved it.

We had a power cut due to the high winds. It would have been nice to have had a few candles and extra logs for light and warmth and if you had got in touch via text to see if we were ok as the internet was off and we had no phone signal to get updates The hot tub was filthy with black lardtype scum around the sides we therefore didn't use it The hot tub guy came the day before we left we told him he cleaned it the next day had a look and thought we would get in but No black scum still there very disgusting like someone else's bath water we paid a lot of money for this facility to be available The kitchen was very fully equipped with lots of utensils and pans for cooking so that was good

We had a fantastic relaxing time staying at Pine Marten Lodge. Owner was very helpful and only a phone call away if you had any questions etc. Loved every minute and didnt want to leave. So cosy and I absolutely loved all the fairy lights and Christmas decorations which made it that extra special. We found the property to be pretty spotless and it had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Great hot tub to relax in after beautiful quiet walks in the forest with our two dogs who also had a great time as we were lucky enough for the snow to arrive for our last 4 days. The living area is smaller than it looks in the pictures although we had expected that as someone else had already mentioned it but was fine for myself, my husband and our two large Ridgebacks. Shops are only a 5 minute drive away and also around a 20 mins drive into Aviemore if you want more of a selection. Thank you for a lovely stay and we cant wait to return one day.

Absolutely beautiful lodge, beautifully furnished, a real home from home. Would not hesitate to stay again!

Everything was perfect. I would however say the check out time of 1000 is not ideal for guests having to clean up the flat for a 3pm check in ! Ideally 11am would be more favourable as it allows breakfast then clean up.

We stayed at this lovely log cabin last summer, as a family of 6 we found the log cabin very spacious. Beds were very comfortable, very well equipped in the kitchen. The lodge was absolutely immaculate would highly recommend to anyone. My girls loved seeing red squirrels visiting every day, we all enjoyed a dip in the hot tub most days which was amazing after being out exploring Aviemore.We enjoyed a couple of BBQs when the weather was nice again well equipped .It was that good we have re booked again this Autumn! Pictures do not give this log cabin justice its so beautiful inside and out.Communication from owners were amazing you can tell they take great pride in their property, Thank you to the owner and Sykes for a lovely stay. Cant wait to come back.

Both paths from the parking area to the lodge are steep and not great for anyone with mobility issues. A handrail on the steeper one would be helpful. The lodge is much smaller than it looks in the pictures, but it is nicely furnished and decorated. It is incredibly well equipped with every utensil you could possibly need. Although aesthetically pleasing, the sliding doors are heavy, noisy and difficult to open and close. The lodge is very cosy and on a couple of rainy days, we enjoyed relaxing, watching tv and the wildlife in the garden. Hubby got some great pics of the squirrels! It is also well located, with Aviemore, Grantown etc within easy reach, and Inverness less than an hour away. We enjoyed our week catching up with family in this lovely lodge.

Wow!! What an absolutely beautiful place to have a holiday .The owner has thought of everything to ensure a first class stay.First night we were there we couldnt decide on whether or not to have a barbecue, lounge in the hot tub or watch Netflix by the roaring fire, so we did all three!!Pine Marten lodge is beautifully presented and immaculately clean. An ideal place to explore the surrounding area. We went clay pigeon shooting, spent a day at the wildlife park and took afternoon tea in Ballater before heading to Balmoral castle.This was made all the more special by returning to the lodge each evening to spend the remainder of the evening in peace and serenity.Ideal place to take your four legged friends too, our spaniel enjoyed playing hide and seek with the squirrels in the garden, however they were safe enough as she lacks the ability to climb trees!Cannot recommend this place highly enough and hope to be able to come back soon
