Great stay

Really enjoyed our time at the Old ministers house. Hot tub was great, beds were comfortable and clean, house was within walking distance of the town so no complaints. That's our second time we have stayed at the house as a group and we would do so again.

Family break

The house is in a perfect location, walkable to Aviemore but close to Cairngorms, loch morlich and lots of other walks and trails. The house has the perfect layout for multi generation family break but is showing signs of age and was a little dusty in places. Great enclosed garden, perfect for the dogs and a lovely outlook.

Great house in lovely location.

Wonderful place for family gathering such as ours. Lovely rooms, well appointed and comfortable. Could have done with more attention to amenities (no salt, no soap/body wash in bathrooms etc). Would highly recommend.

Excellent holiday home

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Minister’s House last week. It was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed for an extended family holiday. Amazingly spacious and well maintained with excellent views over the river. A really relaxing and tranquil setting and fantastic holiday home. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic weekend stay

12 of us stayed over 3 nights and was fantastic. Communication prior to stay was excellent. On arrival it was clean and well appointed. The house and garden area was lovely with beautiful view. The suite at the rear was particularly impressive. Lovely hot tub area and the fairly lights a nice touch. Great location for exploring and adventures. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Lovely family stay

Great family stay, location fantastic for enjoying the Rothiemurchus estate. We had breakfast in the cafe next door and used the tree zone and mountain bike facilities. Also nice walk to the main town. The property configuration worked perfectly. A few essentials such as milk, tea, coffee, salt n pepper would have been nice. The property was clean if not a little dated. The hot tub was a nice addition but did need some maintenance with the headrests and filter. Great stay and throughly enjoyed. Thank you

Great location great accomodation

Just back from a long weekend here with family (12 adults) The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, the location was great, quiet and relaxing but close enough to shops bars etc, rooms were spacious, little extra touch with gowns and slippers provided was great. Nice seating area outside aswell. Plenty room for parking 4 cars. Definitely would return to this property.

Fantastic location and a beautiful place to stay.

We have stayed in Aviemore many times over the last 50 years and this house was superior to all the rest. It is very comfortable , spacious and well equipped. It was not cheap but we shared the cost with 5 other couples, making it affordable. I would not hesitate to return and would recommend to our friends and family .

The Ministers Lodge

The Lodge was very comfortable and luxurious, I would definetly return. It was only a short walk into the centre of Aviemore. Lots of walking and cycle tracks around the lodge. The hot tub and BBQ area was a great hit with all the family. Plenty of spaces for 4 cars to park

Family get together

Hi 2nd stay at the old ministers house. Great location, large comfortable house. Had a fee glitches with the oven as the door would not stay closed, the light at the outside eating area was not working. Had a brilliant time and hope to be back next year.

Gorgeous house

Fantastic location. Very nice 20 min walk to aviemore. Walking trails roundabout. Hot tub was superb. Just a fantastic space in general. Farm shop with food and gifts next door, also ‘Tree Tops’ right next door which would be a great activity to book in advance. Only recommendation - would’ve been nice if kindling was available for the fire and logs were cut small enough to fit the stove!

Fantastic!

What a fantastic house! As a party of 10 adults we spent a long weekend there. The house feels like a 'home' and is warm, comfortable and well appointed. The hot tub was well used, especially by those after crossing the bridge at the rear of the house and going for a dip in the river! The location is great to take advantage of the trails leading from the car park opposite into the Rothiemurchus estate, the walking/cycling trail to or from Loch Morlich/Aviemore, or there was the bus option too for any non walkers/cyclists. We will certainly return.

Amazing stay @ Old Minsters House

We could not have hoped for a better place to stay than The Old Minister’s House. Let me first say, the location of this property cannot be beaten if you want to be in the heart of everything that is going on around the Cairngorms. The house was spacious, comfortable and clean. Has the most amazing boot/drying room for anyone sharing this house on a ski trip I would imagine it would be perfect. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Will have to come back in the summer months and enjoy sitting by the river on my balcony.

feedback

We had an excellent stay. The house is very well situated and equipped, with plenty of space and very comfortable. Couple of small points, the beds could do with larger sheets as the current ones are a bit small so constantly come untucked. Also the oven door doesnt close properly so lets out a lot of heat impacting cooking times and some of the hobs on the stove wouldnt light.

A fabulous stay

A great stay in a terrific location. The house was big enough to fit the four of our families with plenty space remaining. We didn't feel at any point cramped or living on top of one and other. Aviemore has plenty of things to do and amenities for any length of holiday but this was the ideal house in which to stay. The only area I'd ask for consideration of review would be the time to get into the property- 1700 is somewhat late on in the day. The check out time of 1000 is also pretty early. Otherwise it was perfect.
