Fantastic Holiday in Aviemore
Just got back from a week with the family. Beautiful house and in a perfect location. At the back of the house is woodland and you can walk through the woods in to the centre of Aviemore. The house is a solid build and was ample for our family and two dogs. Lots to explore nearby and the town provides all the amenities you could need. The single beds could do with an upgrade as they are incredibly squeaky and a welcome pack would have been nice. However they are small negatives. We would love to visit it again.

Bennachie Bliss
Arrived at 6.00pm, found key no problem, the house was lovely and warm when we entered, there where no smells which is good for a pet friendly house, absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend and to top it off brought in the new year , plenty of snow to end a great week

Great base in Aviemore
This was our first holiday with GNL and it did not disappoint. Bennachie is in a great location to explore Aviemore and the surrounding areas. A short 20 min walk takes you into the centre of Aviemore and all its shops, pubs and restaurants. The house itself is in a quiet location. It is roomy and has everything you could need. Our party was 4 adults and 1 dog and the house was spacious enough for us all. The only downside I felt was that the sofas and beds were on the low side but that is a personal thing. It has a fully enclosed garden with raised decking and outside furniture. We had a few days of beautiful weather so we were outside a lot. GNL were great and we will certainly be booking another holiday with them in the future.

3 night stay.
We stayed at GNL Bennachie property in Aviemore for three nights & had a great mini break, Bennachie is a four bedroom property & had ample room for our party of 6 adults, 2 kids & 2 labradors. The fully enclosed garden gave us privacy & freedom for the dogs to be outside without any worries of them getting out. Thanks for a great stay.

Very comfortable week
Bennachie has everything you need. Very much home from home. We had a couple of issues but GNL’s replied very quickly and we were reassured by a quick visit and that the owners would be notified and if we had anymore issues, to get in contact with them immediately. Will definitely rebook in the future.

Spotless, Spacious, Superb!
Fulfilled a long held dream to stay in Scotland for Hogmanay! This holiday should have happened in 2020 but finally we made it! The property is delightful and was perfect for our New Year break. A well equipped, delightful house in a quiet area of Aviemore. The layout is excellent with gorgeous rooms and comfortable beds and sofas. The walk into Aviemore is straightforward and we really enjoyed the ambiance and fireworks in the area on New Year’s Eve. The garden is secure, perfect if you have a dog or small children and the decking is probably great to use in summer. Just wish there had been a lovely fire to cosy up to after the lovely, crisp walks we went on during the day. xx

A fantastic Christmas break!
We had a brilliant stay at Bennachie over Christmas. The property was well located with easy access to ameneties and things to do. The house was very clean and well looked after and very thoughtfully stocked. They provided everything I needed for my children including a highchair, travel cot and kids crockery/cutlery. Finding the Christmas tree was a fantastic surprise and made our stay a brilliantly festive one. To top it off we were treated to a white Christmas. Our one piece of advice to others is the keysafe was located by the back door of the property - it took us quite a while to find it in the dark!

Great house and location
Great house to stay in - modern, comfortable and clean, and good enclosed garden for the dog to run around in. A bit out of town but only a 20 minute walk into town using the paths and tunnel under the A9. A bit disappointing that the regular grey (non recycling) bin was so full that the lid wouldn't close properly when we got there - had to take all our rubbish away ourselves. Also not convinced that the recycling poster in the house was correct - put all recycling except glass into the blue bin apparently, which I did, but there was an old faded label on the blue bin that said paper and card only which I only noticed near the end of our stay.

Great central location
We were pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the house was, there was everything we needed and was a real home-from-home. Location was perfect. Lovely and quiet but in walking distance to Aviemore centre. Would definitely stay here again.
