Pros:

The location was absolutely beautiful, it was private, clean and handy for the cafe.

Cons:

Toilet facilities were shared and a bit of a distance for in the night.
Menu in the cafe wasn't great and it was expensive, although staff were helpful.

low frills base for outdoors exploration
Pros:

Excellent base for exploring in the Cairngorms, having the odd chat, and being in nature without having to bring your own gear/set up. There is a bar/restaurant just a few steps away, a beautiful Loch with plenty of beach and trails, and the Cairngorms just a 10 min drive (or bus ride) away. Be aware if you're taking the bus to/from the spot in either direction - they can come 10 min early, late, or (even worse!!) not at all. But that is not a reflection AT ALL on the property, just something to be aware of!

Cons:

The pods could definitely do with a bit of airing out, but that's probably an inevitable result of summer exploration. As you're just a few steps from the bar, you can hear a bit of noise, but you also have to pass by everyone if you want to use the toilet/shower in the morning or evening.

The wifi is housed in the bar and doesn't quite reach the pods. You have to use it in/around the bar, but it's also unsecured and there is zero cell signal in Glenmore, so all patrons are fighting to use whatever bandwidth they can. I'd recommend:

- already having a plan (hikes, timetables, destinations)
- already having downloaded all your music/podcasts/etc
- come prepared to be off grid (no doomscrolling before bed)

and bring slippers so you can comfortably walk to/from the toilets :)

Pros:

Bar staff were extremely kind and helpful! Enjoyed being so close to the venue, the food and live music were brilliant. It was great to be close to nearby walks as well. Made it so easy to get up and start our day. Thank you!

Cons:

Bunk beds were a little uncomfy, but to be expected and not a big deal!

Ok.
Pros:

The room suited our requirements.

Cons:

All though we knew there was a 2minute walk to the facilities,it was not a pleasant experience walking up and down wet steps in the middle of the night, even when they well light.

Bref passage agréable près du Loch Morlich.
Pros:

Accueil sympathique.
Emplacement à proximité immediate de la plage du Loch Morlich.
Petit pod propre avec micro-onde, bouilloire et un peu de vaisselle, le minimum pour réchauffer un repas .

Cons:

Pod tres encombré avec des lits superposés et un canapé d'angle. En couple, nous avons du dormir sur les lits superposés ( lits faits) .
Pas de table pour manger si ce n'est à l'extérieur (mais il faisait froid), ou alors nous aurions dû manger au bar. Un peu de vaisselle à disposition mais pas de verre .
Sanitaire un peu éloigné.

Een aanrader
Pros:

Er leuke locatie. Wordt goed ontvangen en medewerkers zijn erg vriendelijk. Ook de "pods" waren leuk ingericht. Wel even wennen dat je voor water of sanitair even moet lopen maar al met al is dat geen probleem. Goede douches. Ook de mogelijkheid voor een maaltijd en wat drinken in de bar. Ligt aan een mooi Loch.

Cons:

Wat weinig verbinding met gsm netwerk maar dat hoeft geen probleem te zijn op vakantie. Lekker rustig
