9 Adults and 5 children loved the tranquility of the location, the peaceful adjoining lake, the wonderment of nature with ducks that engrossed children. Definite plus .

Individual Cabins in the woods, surrounded by water and wildlife. Great experience. A car is needed as although the town is not far it is not really accessible by walking. Would definitely stay there again.

Spring holiday
We had an enjoyable stay at the property, there were a few little issues but nothing to put us off coming back. The cold water tap in the bath didn’t work so had to use cold water from the sink to put in a bath, the rubber edging round the oven door had come off and was loose in the oven, some of the equipment /trays for the oven also weren’t the right size to be able to cook on. The property is slightly dated and could do with a little bit of TLC. Overall though and enjoyable stay
A great place to stay, cosy cabin, lovely surroundings, swimming pool, nice bar and friendly staff. I would definitely stay again.

Great place for 2 nights after we were let down elsewhere but the whole place is a bit tired, I wouldn't really call it a resort, it's just a few static caravans around a duck pond but good location for visiting Aviemore and Cairngorms.

Great Stay
Great location . Chalet a bit tired and perhaps a more thorough clean of the wooden walls ( very dusty ) lacking a couple of essential kitchen utensils but not a huge issue and reception informed on checkout .
All staff we came across were lovely . Will certainly return as great location for the dog

Great wee place!
We had a lovely stay at lochanhully and can't fault much at all. The only thing I'd say would be that the mattresses could do with updating & it was a shame that the bar/restaurant wasn't open.

We found the staff to be incredibly helpful and friendly. The accommodation was comfortable and the setting was beautiful. If you came here expecting Center Parcs I imagine you would be disappointed but this was perfect for me and my family. All three of my kids said they would like to come back.

Lovely cabin in great location
Location is great.
Little things only - A bit litter around the cabin outside area, a few bits of cutlery dirty, cabin needs a bit of an upgrade, a few bulbs not working, grit or salt on walkway, some facilities not available.
Still an overall great experience.

This place was absolutely terrible, smells awful, black mold everywhere, entire chalet was dirty. Hair all over the bed sheets, and given the opportunity to even give a partial refund the property refused!! The chalet is a health hazard and I cannot fathom how such a once beautiful property has become so rundown!!

It was a nice place
The only annoying thing was there was only a single bed and a double bed made up. We had to make up the sofa bed and the single pull out. They knew there were two children. Apart from that it was fine and had everything we needed. We were busy throughout the day so we left the sofa bed up.

It's a great location, in amongst the woods. Chalets are nice, but quite run-down and not especially clean. Staff are good, but pool was not working (not communicated at booking), some things were not working in chalets, and it was quite dirty in places (flies, mould in bathroom, hairs on bedding, etc). For the price, it was ok though.

Excellent setting, cabins in need of some updating
The setting was lovely. And the cabins were not too close to each other. Our cabin was ok, but a bit shabby. Sofa was not comfortable and broken. The second single bed was not set up and as we wanted to use it we were expected to put it up ourselves and make the bed.
Absolutely LOVED our family weekend away here. The resort staff were beyond helpful and friendly, particularly in the bar/restaurant where they gave a grumpy and poorly toddler extra icecream and a free testing of haggis upon his request! The cabins were simply gorgeous, clean, comfortable and cosy. Our little boy was in his element in his "special little house"'. We werent able to use much of the outdoor stuff due to heavy snowfall, but the serenity of the place made for lovely walks in the wood and around the water. Fantastic location for nearby attractions too, food was great in the restaurant, pool perfect for a family dip. We hope to return in the summer, and definitely next winter! Thankyou so much.
