Large family group stay in Aviemore Fab experience at The Shielling

Our family group of 6 adults and 3 children stayed at The Sheilling Aviemore for 3 nights. The property was ideal in size, location and fully kitted out with all the basic essentials too! The owners at The Sheilling have thought of everything to make your stay smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend this accommodation to large groups looking for a property within Aviemore with excellent facilities and hot tub.

Excellent holiday home for a visit to Aviemore

Great house for a family gathering at Christmas time - hot tub was fantastic and plenty space for 12 of us plus a little dog. Conservatory could be a little cold for winter but fortunately weather was mild and we were able to use both dining table for Christmas dinner. Location is excellent - shops; loch morlich, ice skating etc. Would highly recommend. The hosts were brilliant and happy to answer any queries. The hamper & Christmas decorations were a lovely bonus!

Generally excellent

Generally excellent. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Access easy and location private although handy for access to the village. We would stay here again. The hot tub was very popular and was regularly maintained. Kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms had clean linen with comfortable beds. Bathrooms clean and modern with fresh towels etc Nothing !

The house was spacious and well laid out

The house was spacious and well laid out. It was clean and tidy. There was a high chair and travel cot we were able to use. The hot tub was very relaxing, just what is needed after looking after 18 month old. Lovely quiet area.

The property is ideal for a large group to spread out, socialise and chill

The property is ideal for a large group to spread out, socialise and chill. Was immaculate. We were really impressed. Hot tub was such a treat for a daily dip and comfortably fitted the whole party. Location is a lovely short walk to Aviemore centre where there are lovely wee shops, places to eat and drink. The Loch is stunning and the fireworks display was a fab way to end the weekend. Thanks for having us.

Great house with lots of bedrooms and space, well located

Good standard of accommodation - nothing is crazily flash but it's a huge property with loads of bathrooms and bedrooms. Good location for walking into Aviemore / visiting local sights The hot tub on the patio is a great perk, alongside an enclosed garden so perfect for dogs The hot tub didn't stay at temperature but kept getting hotter and hotter! Not an issue for some, but we had to leave it to cool for a few in our group. Some of the mattresses weren't as good as others, perhaps they can all be updated to the memory foam that was in the large family room (which were very comfortable!) The Oven might need a service, the grill element was loose and needs looking at.

We love this place!

This is our second time staying here as a large group and we absolutely love it. Erin is a pleasure to deal with. The accommodation is spacious and well laid out, with everything you need for your stay, even robes and slippers for using the hot tub. Which is also a huge hit, we couldn't get our kids out of it! We love the location too, on the very edge of Aviemore but only a 15/20 minute walk into the village. I've read a couple of reviews about the house/furniture being tired but for a large group accommodation in a busy tourist location, I think the standard is excellent. A couple of small things could use a little TLC to improve the aesthetic of the property, however this did not spoil our experience in the slightest. We look forward to staying again. BBQ could use a little attention or wouldn't hurt to replace. Hoover pipe becomes detached during use. Drains in back double room en suite require attention, and a couple of areas require maintenance just to polish off the excellent experience of staying here!
