From the minute we walked through the door, we knew that Forest Trail Lodge was a special place. The layout of the house is perfect with access into the forest from the gate in the garden. Beds very comfy and the house has everything you could want for a week's holiday. We were blessed with beautiful weather all week and had a fantastic time. The garden was perfect to relax in and is totally enclosed so safe for kids and pets. We would love to return but understand that the house has recently been sold. If the new owners decide to rent out Forest Trail Lodge as a holiday home we will certainly be back.

Forest trail lodge is a lovely property in an amazing location. It is spacious and light with everything that you could need for your holiday. Nethybrdge is a beautiful and quiet location but within easy access of all amenities. The weather definitely was on our side and we were able to make use of the great outside space. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful comfortable cottage, very spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. A super location right next to the forest where we saw deer and red squirrels. A lovely base for touring Speyside, away from the bustle of Aviemore.

The house was in a great location with walks from the doorstep. Rooms were large and airy with plenty of equipment in the kitchen for self catering apart from a bottle opener and a potato people. Communication was good. Thanks I would book again.

Forest trail lodge is a delightful house. Perfect setting next to the woods, the house is spacious and comfortable with everything you need. It’s a very social house with social spaces in the living and dining areas. Spotlessly clean with large rooms. The Great North Lodges app is very useful and helpful with the information provided and discounts for eating out. The house is expensive to rent but I guess that’s just current costs. Will definitely return.

Forest Trail Lodge is a comfortable, spacious and well equipped house in an excellent location on the edge of the forest. Nethy Bridge is a pretty, friendly village with lots of excellent walks and trails just minutes from the house. A lovely peaceful house and area to return to after busy days out.

I rented Forest Trail Lodge for my husbands birthday and we were not disappointed. We were 4 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. The lodge is very spacious and has a nice homely feel to it. The huge garden with the forest at the back was wonderful for the children. We will definitely try and return in future.

The house was perfect. Location was ideal for forest walks with the dogs and a fully enclosed garden meant we could be more at ease. The house was big and spacious but we found we spent much time sitting around the kitchen island planning our day or grabbing a quick lunch. A separate living room was great to relax in after a busy day and I’m sure will be cosy in winter. Nethy Bridge is a beautiful village and I can highly recommend the local cafe and farm shop! We had a great week in a fabulous house.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Forest Trail Lodge. The house was well equipped with everything that we needed, both in the kitchen and in the other parts of the property. Although the house was cool when we arrived, the heating was very effective once we tuned the thermostats and there was always plenty of hot water. We particularly appreciated the access to the garage which enabled us to store our bikes securely. Having the log burner in the lounge was lovely as it meant that we could warm the house up quickly when we arrived and also gave us cosy room for the evenings. We loved being able to walk and cycle straight into the forest and welcomed being within walking distance of the local shops in Nethy Bridge. The only improvements that we would have appreciated would be some matches to light the log burner and a few more logs. We would definitely return to this Property

Excellent property in beautiful location. The property is spacious, comfortable and really well equipped. Beds and bedrooms are a nice size and the kitchen has everything you need for a self catering holiday. The house was spotless on our arrival with a nice 'welcome pack' provided. Didn't make use of the log burner but the property is lovely and warm thanks to (I think) under floor heating. The garden is really large and is bordered by fences making it completely 'dog proof'. There is a gate in the back fence which leads out onto the woodland trails at the rear of the property. Nethy Bridge itself has numerous footpaths and trails. The walk to Murdo the cow and the castle is a nice one as is the walk to Broomhill Station. (From the station you can catch the steam train to Aviemore). The village has a great farm shop, lovely tea rooms and a well stocked shop. There is also a large hotel with bar. Further afield, the Highland Wildlife Park is well worth a visit as is Loch Garten where we were lucky enough to see nesting Ospreys. For a property this size we thought it was great value for money. All in all a fantastic property in a brilliant location.

Our second visit to Forest Trail Lodge, we were so lucky with the weather this time round. We were able to see the house at its best and made the most of the trails from the front door. The house has a lovely flow, the rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished. The garden is enclosed which kept our little dog safe. A lovely selection of welcome gifts was provided, thank you. We would highly recommend the Nethy Bridge cafe and the Balliefurth Farm shop/ butchers (a short walk away) Thank you, we can't wait to return!
