Bracken House - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms
Bracken House is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac at the North end of Aviemore. This modern house has a large hot tub for the whole family or a group of friends. Bracken House is named after the bracken covered hill behind the house, which is at the foot of the Craigellachie Nature Reserve. You may be lucky enough to spot some visitors to the garden and we have some lovely pictures from previous guests of Red Squirrels.
Enjoy a private and covered hot tub area in the back garden, with uninterrupted views and a BBQ for some evening dining. A secure shed also offers a place for bikes and skis, so plan to do some exploring while you are here.
The accommodation is very spacious, offering two double rooms and two twins. Great for large family or even two families. Kids are looked after and a selection of DVDs and a PS3 for guests use - just bring your own favourite games. The large kitchen and dining room are definitely the heart of this home and there is space for everyone to dine or just relax with a glass of wine with views to the garden.

The ideal place to stay for your relaxing Aviemore adventure
My wife and friends of ours have been visiting Aviemore for several years and came across this fabulous house to rent.
We stayed here last year and again this year. It is in the ideal location, close enough to walk into the village but remote enough so there is no traffic noise and lots of wildlife on your doorstep.
The hot tub is brilliant under a cozy canopy so no issues if the wind picks up, and is large enough to cater for up to 8 people .
The kitchen has every conceivable utensil including a laundry room. The linen and towels are all brilliant white and the bathrobes and slippers provided by the house are a lovely touch.

A fantastic property for a family gathering
We are regular visitors to Aviemore and have stayed in a few holiday homes and Bracken House did not disappoint. Great location with a great space for 7 of us and our dog. The hot tub was an added benefit and would recommend to others.

Weekend stay
Had a lovely stay in this lodge with family. It is situated close to town but we never realised it was in a residential street our last lodges in Aviemore were more secluded , however it is a very quiet area. Comfortable lodge with everything you need lots of contact numbers. Central for doing everything and you can walk in town.
Would recommend family to use this lodge it also has a hot tub undercover with was very handy and hard to get in the area . Not disable friendly though as no bathroom down stairs only a toilet . Not a problem for us but maybe for others .
Lovely comfortable home would use again .

Needs work
We have been coming here for 6 years now, always enjoyed our stay unfortunately this time was a bit disappointing, the hot tub lid was broken causing floaters in water. Grass was uncut and long. Toilet seat in main insult was broken, lights on upstairs landing didn’t work. Ceiling in kitchen showing signs water damage cracked plaster. Fridge compartments missing. Have taken pictures on arrival of these areas for proof. No the house is supposed to be cleaned and inspected before next guest so why was the lodge in this state for ud

Short holiday
We use Great North Lodges a good few times throughout the year and have always had good service. We enjoyed our stay but the house could do with a bit of a freshen up. Decor is now tired throughout.

Bracken House Feb 24
Overall a great property in a great location with the added bonus of a Jacuzzi. Felt that property could have been cleaner. It would also be nice if heating was on for our arrival. Would definately stay again and recommend property to others.

Great base for exploring Aviemore
Great base for the family. Audra who maintains the property was on hand if there was a problem and was very helpful.
We would stay there again.
My constructive criticism would be on cleanliness, the blinds were very dusty and the windows needed cleaning. We also found an half eaten packet of biscuits, old tv remote and a hair comb underneath one of the settees. Also on arrival we found that the dishwasher was full of the last guests dishes so we had to empty that.

Lovely stay
Lovely house and very spacious. hot tub was a nice treat. Rooms are spacious and most of the beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Ideal location, 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk to the centre. Nice little touch or beer and biscuits for arrival

Birthday break
Loved our stay. the only fault would be that the main room bed needs a bigger bed, can’t beat huge bed, maybe access to Netflix.

A spacious comfortable house great location plus a hot tub
We thought this house was great value for money. It was spacious and well equipped. The hot tub was great. The added touch of Christmas tree and decorations was lovely and festive. We enjoyed the complementary robes
We walked from the house and beyond. It is in a great location
We would go again

Bracken House
Very comfortable and spacious house and a fantastic quiet cul-de-sac. House was very nice and immaculate when we arrived. A short walk into Aviemore through lovely woods. 6 of us really enjoyed our holiday and would stay in Bracken House again.
