Red Squirrel Lodge - Retreat Group

Red Squirrel Lodge is a favourite Boat of Garten accommodation provider. It sits within a beautiful courtyard with off road parking and is the perfect location for your family getaway.

A superb holiday lodge accommodating up to 8 guests in 3 bedrooms - with the first floor providing beautifully designed bedrooms which are all en-suite and offer a sumptuous nights sleep.

There is a king sized bedroom, double bedroom and twin room with an additional sofa bed, then an open plan kitchen & living area provides a wonderful area for guests to eat, chat and relax with stunning views over the garden and Cairngorms. Plenty of storage space will allow you to unpack and feel at home during your stay.

Outside you will find a raised deck with dining area and, after a hard day exploring, don't forget to check out the outdoor hot tub! You can sink into the bubbles and soak in the view of the spectacular Cairngorm mountains. Heading down towards the garden you will find a bike store and The Squirrel's Drey play area.

Situated less than half a mile away from Boat of Garten village, the idyllic surroundings are perfect for walkers and cyclists with endless miles of forest roads and trails to explore, or simply for those looking to pursue the plethora of outdoor activities or some relaxing downtime on offer within nearby Aviemore.

There is plenty to do in the surrounding area. Take a stroll around Boat of Garten village which provides a tranquil area with remarkable views, a restaurant, cafes, post office and shop.
Have some coffee and cake in one of the cafes and check out the beautiful Loch Vaa.

Why not jump on the Boat Of Garten Vintage Steam Train and take a ride to Aviemore? Aviemore is only a 10 minute drive away and here you can take part in a variety of outdoor activities including skiing on the Cairngorm Mountains, quad biking, zip lining and so much more! For those that are interested in checking out the wildlife, contact Speyside Wildlife to arrange bird watching or guided tours.

*Red Squirrel Lodge accepts up to 3 pets at a charge of £35 per pet / per stay payable directly to Retreat Group once your booking is placed.

It was good except few things
Location was good and good organise . Me and family enjoined it very well . It was all good expect few things that we can improve In start I was not able to find location in google map , so I requested customer care to arrange exact location for property, but they shared location of exact opposite property coordinates , I hope that is just a mistake . I would suggest , please check bathroom appliances before handover to clients , we noticed one of bathroom shower and its attachments were not working . Last thing . Heating methods were really old style and difficult to manage , we find it difficult to bring down temperature once we increase it . We try it many times , but it was really difficult to manage it Above are some minor points that could improve things a bit . Overall it was pleasant experience
