Tawny Lodge

Reset and recharge in the Highlands

Tawny Lodge is a dog-friendly lodge in Aviemore in the Cairngorms of Scotland.  Sleeping 4, this lodge is perfect for family holidays in the Scottish Highlands.

The open-plan living area offers a great space to gather with family after a fun day exploring the Cairngorms.  The wood-burning stove creates a cosy spot to gather around to swap stories and jokes. 

The outside area features a hot tub and decking, with BBQ and dining area, set within the secure garden.

Only a short walk into Aviemore and sitting on Route 7 cycle path it is a great base to explore the area. It also has private parking on a quiet cul de sac and a secure garden.

Need more space?

This is right next door to Silver Stag Lodge which makes it perfect for large family groups where you might want a quiet house and a kid's house!  Although we ask that there is at least one adult in with the kids.

The kitchen is well-equipped, featuring a fridge/freezer, hob, oven, dishwasher, combined washer dryer, microwave and plenty of cookware and utensils.

Outside

The garden is fenced all the way around with a lockable fence.  The garden can be accessed from the master room through sliding doors directly onto a decking.  The decking leads you up to the hot tub, situated to offer views over the Cairngorms. 

There is also a BBQ and an outdoor dining area for when the weather is behaving itself. 

A spacious entrance has plenty of storage for outdoor shoes and coats.

Kids

We know that often the first thing kids ask is “What’s the wifi code?” But there is so much on offer for kids that hopefully, you won’t need the code!

There are plenty of trails around for easy low-level mountain biking. A great family ride is to follow the Old Logging Way up to Loch Morlich. If you are feeling energetic you can then go all the way around Loch Morlich before heading back into Aviemore. Or you can head out the other way on Route 7 and do the low-level cycle right through to Boat of Garten. If the kids are a bit more adventurous on the bikes, then Laggan Wolftrax is half an hour south of Aviemore and offers some get downhill trails and a cute cafe in the car park for a well-earned cuppa and cake.

Other brilliant activities for kids include the zip line park just south of Aviemore and Treezone at Rothiemurchus. There is also tennis, horse riding, Segways, go-karting, indoor soft play and a whole bunch of activities to enjoy on the water at Loch Insh and Loch Morlich. Landmark Adventure Park, the Reindeer Centre and the Wildlife Park are always a big hit with the kids too. After all this, you’ll be ready to head back to the lodge to relax in the hot tub, get the BBQ on and start planning the next day’s adventures.

Dog Friendly

We love our dogs too, and well-behaved dogs are very welcome at Tawny Lodge Aviemore. There are so many walks right from the front door, down to the River Spey, over to the golf course or along the cycle path. There is a tap outside the kitchen door if you need to give the pooch a rinse after a muddy walk. We ask that no dogs are allowed in the bedrooms and that they are kept off the furniture. Dogs may not be left alone in the house unless securely crated. There is a charge of £20 per dog.
