With fantastic views of Rothiemurchus Forest and the Cairngorm Mountains, the High Range Lodge Hotel offers spacious rooms with original artwork by local artists.

Surrounded by woodland, scenic walks can be enjoyed in the immediate area. Aviemore town centre and rail station are less than 10 minutes’ walk away. The Cairngorms National Park is within 30 minutes’ drive of High Range Lodge Hotel. Large rooms, super clean, modern. Needed space to stage my new ski touring setup. Picked this place because the rooms are bigger than other comparables in Aviemore. It was all true! Lots of space to spread out and arrange my gear. Bathroom faucets / sink is deep so could easily accommodate a Nalgene (really annoying when places have cheap setups so you have to fill your water bottle with the cap) Lots of plugs to charge stuff where you need it. 2 x large coffee mugs (can accommodate cereal :) 2 x whisky tumblers 2 x drinking glasses 1 x small fridge with a mini freezer that works (for a mini freezer) Super clean. Very centrally located.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, enticing me to the dining area. The selection of pastries, freshly squeezed juices, and a variety of mouthwatering dishes was simply outstanding. The ingredients were clearly sourced with care, and the flavors were sublime. It was evident that Martyn and Louise poured their passion and expertise into every bite, making it a truly memorable culinary experience. Beyond the delectable breakfast, Martyn and Louise went above and beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed during my stay.
