"Very clean property. Hotel looks a bit tired and maybe could do with a makeover. Food very expensive for what you receive. We stayed in the lodge while it was very clean the shower was not fit for purpose, no pressure and if you are over 5foot8 impossible to get under shower head. The lodge rooms are very close together while it is not the property itself fault the doors banging shut in the lodge building was extremely loud. This was going on most of night and early mornings. We also had an incident where someone managed to get a key to our room and walk in while we were there. Very strange. "

"This was the first time that I visited Whispering Pine Lodge. The stay was good. What struck me though was that I only paid about £250 thereabout for the night (which is the discounted rate) and that under normal circumstances one would have to pay in excess of £650 a night. I believe that the owners are Indian and own hotels in India and with that in mind, to stay at Umaid Bhawan is about £400/night the last time I checked and Whispering Pine lodge is not even on that level. The hotel was clean, and the food was good and of good quality. The staff were very well mannered and courteous. Its a beautiful setting and although the outside of the hotel is in need of restoration the inside was pleasing. The decor needs updating to relfect the price of the what people are going to pay, like the odd rug or runner in the corridor or room that looks like something out of ASDA or B&Q. I would think that if one is paying in excess of £600 a night they would closer on par to what is being offered at the Fife Arms in Braemar. Nonetheless it was pleasant. Not a place to return to but pleasant "

"With a 7 yr old boy and a 10 yr old boy. Swimming pool was warm and fun. Went to to sports hall for football and badminton. Next day went cycling. We had a little dog with us and it was no problem. All of Aviemore is dog friendly. Lovely time. "
