Amazing home in a fantastic location!
We’ve stayed in many properties with GNL and have never had any issues, and their communication has always been great. Pine Ridge Lodge is an amazing home and my family and I loved it here. Location is fantastic, house very roomy and comfortable and the garden is perfect for our wee dog. Already booked again for next year!

Pine Ridge Lodge
First time stay at Pine Ridge Lodge and we were not disappointed. Everything you could need to make for a comfortable home from home. Clean and beautiful views. We loved the hot tub and used it every afternoon. The table tennis was an unexpected delight and provided many hours of laughter
Lovely walk both by road and forrest to the local restaurants. Local shop and post office has all you need to keep you going
We highly recommend staying here

A Perfect Place
Our requirements were four bedrooms, three bathrooms/en-suite and a secure garden for the pug. What we got far exceeded our hopes. Great location with a huge exciting garden both for pug and little children. Beds were great and rooms were clean and very comfortable. I don’t really want to go through all the features as the site has it all listed and describes it a lot better than I can. So, highly recommended. Did I mention the steam train, the owl, table tennis, wine chiller, view from the balcony, the superb hot tub…..just book it. Go on, go on, go on.

The lodge is looking tired and in some areas requiring repairs
The balcony upstairs looks dangerous and in need of repairs, the blinds are worn and the draw strings are dangerous with child safety links missing and blind cords tied instead. No Barby fuel provided for the price you would expect at least the offer of a gas barby with fuel.

Perfect holiday home.
We had a fantastic break away at Pine Ridge Lodge, the house is very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. We were pretty lucky with the weather and were able to make use of the barbecue and garden. The location is perfect with beautiful views and ideal for walking being right on the Speyside Way. We all wished we could have stayed longer and will definitely be making a return visit.

Escape in the woods
We have been here a few times and always love coming back. The new tub is a bonus and fitted us all in no problem. The house is full of character and charm but has everything you need to make a great holiday.

An Old Friend
Having returned again to Pine Ridge Lodge, it is like coming back to an old friend.
The location of the lodge is perfect and while some elements may be considered a little dated it is very comfortable and clean and perfect for any size party from 2 up to full occupancy, especially with the secure gardens which are perfect for a furry 4-legged member of the family.
A great base to either just sit back and relax or to venture out and enjoy what the region has to offer. Having stayed at a number of different lodges this is the one I keep returning to.

A lovely stay
A very happy week at pine ridge lodge. The house was well equipped and the hot tub was wonderful! Could do with carpeting upstairs, as the wooden floors were a bit cold and noisy, but otherwise very happy.

Wonderful week!
A great place to stay for our family get together, loved everything about the house and large gardens. Stunning location and views. Comfortable, clean, well equipped accommodation, everything we needed, perfect!
Walks directly from the door, good pub and restaurant within walking distance. Hot tub fab after a good days walking.
Great North Lodges very kind and considerate when we had to rearrange due to major illness. Would highly recommend this company and property.

Break at Pineridge Lodge
As we drove up to the Lodge a Fawn decided to join us in the garden - what a great start to our holiday .
Weather was so hot we spent a great deal of time enjoying all of the outside seatings and hot tub.
Loved how spacious the Lodge was , light streaming through windows gave amazing views of The Cairngorms.
Able to walk to Anderson’s restaurant was a bonus.
Will definitely return.

Impressive and spacious property
We booked Pine Ridge Lodge as a family holiday during autumn and had a superb week considering we had travelled north through storm Ciaran to get to the lodge. There were so many things to do from walks and cycling to just enjoying the peaceful surroundings and wildlife close to the lodge. We especially enjoyed the hot tub at the end of a busy day. We really did not want to leave and could happily have stayed for at least another week!

Fabulous Lodge in a Beautiful Location
We love staying in greater Aviemore area and specifically the Boat of Garten, and this is our favourite place to stay so far! Stunning lodge with loads of space inside and out! Large gardens, lots of birds (very worthwhile feeding them) and other wildlife, even a red squirrel made an appearance. The lodge provides great views of the Cairngorm mountain range, which we were lucky to be snow capped for most of our stay. There are fabulous walks for the dogs from the door and would highly recommend the village pub and restaurant. The lodge is well equipped, spacious and the living space is superb. Bedrooms all very comfortable with plenty of bathrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would highly recommend Pine Ridge Lodge and will return in the not to distant future.

Awesome weekend with friends
Once again Great North Lodges was AMAZING! We use them regularly and they never let us down, every property is fantastic, great location, clean, comfortable and creates a lovely atmosphere for the perfect weekend away.
Hot tub, table tennis table and garden were great for a sunny weekend and the social areas great for sitting, chilling and chatting!
We will be back again, and again oh and probably again :)

Dog walkers dream
Watch the sunrise from the balcony, out for a 7 mile walk, car not needed. Late lunch at the Nethy bridge coffee shop. Home to the hot tub to ease the muscles. Dinner and watch the sunset. Collapse into a warm comfy bed! What’s not to like. Totally enjoyed the facilities of the house. In a beautiful situation surrounded by amazing walks. Property maybe slightly tired, but so was I at the end of the day!

Idliic, superb garden well apportioned lodge.
Superb and we’re just about to book again from next year.
Superb value, ample outdoor spaces and really interesting , 100% secure, garden for our 2 large energetic dogs.
This enabled us to relax and enjoy the various sun traps around the huge garden. Worth being up early and enjoying the course of wild life from the balcony. Rear gate allows direct access to the wooded trails and the various walks from the lodge are first class.
Due to the layout the bedrooms are very private and individual The charming interior is well furnished, and consistent with a lodge of its age. Some minor changes if it was ours would be more outdoor dining crockery and the charming open shed at the bottom of the garden could do with a clean.
Overall- a gem of a find and one we can see ourselves rebooked each year.
As always GNL were instrumental in matching our needs to the property and their customer service is second to none.
Thanks for a lovely holiday

Beautiful house in Boat o Garten
A lovely well equipped house with some glorious views. House was clean and comfortable and (apart from a milk jug..) had everything we needed for our break. We loved the hot tub and the tranquil garden had various spots to sit out and watch woodpeckers and red squirrels which visited. The house is quietly situated with direct access to the forest which is great for morning walkies, but just a quick trip from the Cairngorms without the hustle and bustle of Aviemore. Thoroughly recommend.

Perfect location and ideal house
Everything about Pine Ridge Lodge was spot on. Exactly as described, very clean and welcoming.
Perfect surroundings close to Aviemore, but still very quiet. Lots of extras (games, DVDs, etc, etc) available - which was a really nice touch.

The best family holiday
As this was our 3rd time staying at pine ridge Lodge we were not disappointed. The standard has not dropped. We were very relaxed as if it was our home . We saw all our usual places as the lodge is so close to all the amenities that we use .. we also saw the resident cuckoo. A dear and a osprey. Fantastic.
