Top Loch Insh Hotel Reviews

Feshiebridge Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"We have stayed with Great North Lodges previously and always find the properties as described and in good locations. Usually we have been impressed with the standard of accommodation but were disappointed on this occasion. Two of the bathrooms in the house were not clean and had fallen into disrepair. The bathroom in the twin room was unsafe and the shower door fell off the runner. Additionally the kitchen ovens were dirty. The hot tub is showing its age. GNL response to an email however was quick and we had a property management agent come out and clean that afternoon. The property had clearly not suddenly deteriorated and the maintenance needed has been poor. The owner is clearly more concerned with income and not interested in maintaining quality. Hope this review changes that for future bookings. The location has always been on my hit list and booking way ahead was needed. I would recommend still but watch out for further reviews to see if maintenance has been done."

Sleeps 10 in 1 superking, 1 king and 3 full size bunk beds (6 single beds)

8/10 Good

"A super house - it’s our second year staying at the Neuk. A few negative points: .. the house needs a good deep clean ..some items missing- a pan for the large brush, oven gloves, a small kitchen knife ( only very large knives which are difficult for cutting fruit etc), ..this time there was no dish washing liquid, and no dishwasher tablets - not even 1 to start us off. Perhaps if the latter is not to be supplied that should be made clear before arriving, as it’s difficult to clean dishes after first meal on the evening of arrival at 4pm! These are all small points which could be easily addressed. I hope so as we plan to be back again next summer. Thank you."

Sleeps 18 in 5 king, 1 king with bunk, 1 twin and 1 bunk room

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay here. House was spacious and had everything needed to cook for a large group. We played lots of games in the evenings having taken them with us. Only downside was as was wet for most of trip very difficult to dry anything. Ie after watersports trip."

Otter Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good choice for a family holiday..6 adults and 2 kids and it didnt seem too small due to layout of the property. Excellent bedrooms and bathrooms..very modern and clean. Kitchen area looks onto lounge and dining area ..gives good separation while keeping all included. Only fault was a dishwasher door that closes sharply so beware.!!...hopefully now fixed."

Insch House - Retreat Group

8/10 Good

"Wir haben eine sehr schöne Ferienwoche in der Unterkunft verbracht. Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral in den Cairngorm Mountains. Viele Wanderungen, Aktivitäten sind in der Nähe erreichbar. Direkt in Aviemore gibt es viele Supermärkte, in denen alles erhältlich ist, was man so braucht.Negativ zu erwähnen ist der Zustand der Küche. Diese ist sehr mager ausgestattet, die Töpfe waren defekt und die Ofenbleche stark verdreckt."

Suidhe Garden Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The spacious dining and kitchen area is a real highlight, creating a lovely social space for family and friends. The location is excellent, with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. We would happily recommend it."
