A wonderful lodge to stay in, the property is situated on a quiet park which is well spaced out. The property has parking for at least 3 cars and a large outside decking area with hot tub. Inside is very comfortable, and spotlessly clean, it has a fully fitted kitchen a spaces living area and 2 large bedrooms. It is the ideal location for exploring with Aviemore and Cairngorms 20-30 mins away, Fort William and Ben Nevis 1 hour and Inverness 1hr 30mins, Dalwhinnie Distillery is also nearby which has a tour and whisky tasting sessions. I wouldn't hesitate to book a return visit.

We were a family of four with two teenage boys.. Wildcat Lodge was perfect for our post lockdown holiday. The whole property including the hot tub were immaculately clean. Whilst lots of places locally were still closed due to Covid-19 it did not impact on our holiday and we made full use of the great outdoors. The teenagers were very happy with the WiFi!! The lodge is in a fabulous spot and we would be more than happy to recommend.

The lodge was very clean , we had a lovely time in the hot tub great location for seeing the sights

Mr Cain, July 2019

This was one of our best holidays, in no small part due to the lovely accommodation.. We arrived to a bottle of Prosecco and got straight in the hot tub after our long journey. It’s one of those places where the people who own it really care, and have thought of absolutely every little detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything you need to make proper dinners if you so desire! It’s decorated beautifully too - I particularly liked the modern country Scottish type feel, I really liked the style of the kitchen and the light pink tartan/deer motif bedroom! The views from the decking were lovely and sitting out there on the little bench with a coffee before the kids woke up each day was fabulous! We have teenagers and they loved it too - there was Netflix and WiFi

We had an absolute amazing week in this gorgeous lodge with gorgeous views, couldn't have asked for any more.. The owners went out their way to extend a very warm welcoming & provided everything we needed & more. The suggestions for thing's to do & places to go were very thoughtful too. We were sad to leave the Wildcat Lodge & will definitely recommend it to our friends.

Mrs Powell

We've had an amazing holiday at this beautiful lodge.. I cannot fault anything about the accommodation-everything has been thought of by the lovely owners who have gone over and above to ensure that guests have a lovely holiday here. There is so much to see and do in the area too. One of the best family holidays we've ever been on and we have lots of lovely memories. We will be back one day in the not too distant future.

Mr Warrell

Excellent lodge in a cracking location.. Having previously spoken with the owner regards key collection we were soon in the lodge. The site is very clean, tranquil & peaceful. The lodge is very well equipped & the added extras supplied by the owners were really appreciated. The lodge is an excellent base to explore The Cairngorms, there are excellent links to go further North or across to Fort William. We particularly enjoyed the hottub after our walking days. We really did enjoy our stay & would recommend this as a great base for a holiday in The Highlands.

We stayed at the Wildcat lodge the first week of June as a family of 5. The lodge has absolutely everything you need for your stay and more. The owners Lynn and Eck have thought of everything and are so lovely and welcoming! They popped in with an extra dining chair knowing there was 5 of us and were on hand if we needed them for anything, coudn't have asked for nicer hosts! The hot tub was lovely and the bikes provided were put to good use. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, mountains on one side and a lovely river on the other, just gorgeous. There is plenty to do around the area to keep a family entertained. We had a lovely time and hopefully will return, thank you Lynn and Eck :)

We had a fantastic time at the wildcat lodge in Newtonmore Eck and Lynn are so nice and couldnt do enough for you would definitley recommend this lodge dogs loved it so will visit again thankyou Eck and Lynn

Mr Cooksey, May 2017

The location of this log cabin in excellent for anyone wanting a quiet holiday, it is situated in an excellent location for people who want to see a bit of Scotland , and an ideal base for hill walkers as you can cover both the Cairngorm and Nevis range which are both within one hours drive away.. The log cabin is very clan and well maintained, it also has wifi which is very useful when looking for information on places to visit although there is plenty of information within the lodge, there is also the added bonus of the hot tub where you can relax or for the more energetic there are mountain bike in the shed and lots of tracks to use. one of the best parts of the holiday was watching the young deer walking freely around the park and the red squirrels running around.

Cabin was perfect and immaculately clean, very warm and cosy. On arrival we were met by Eck and Lynn, they had prosecco waiting and sweets for kids. They even went to the bother of buying a small bike to add to their collection knowing we had a three year old. Lots of little extras included, robes for hot tub, tea, coffee, sugar, very well equipped, unlike many other cabins we have stayed in. Lots to do in the area, in an amazing setting. We would certainly recommend to family and friends, and will certainly return in the future.
