Have stayed at this lovely friendly hotel lots of times and always have a great time. Alison and Lindsay are the perfect hosts and we really look upon them as friends. Hotel spotless and food excellent. Will be back soon. More

Fairwinds Chalets - We have just returned from a weeks stay and what a fantastic week it was. On our arrival we were warmly welcomed by Alison and Lindsay and taken to our Chalet and given a tour. The Chalet itself was well laid out and very clean and comfortable and well equipped even with [modern] washing machine. The children... More

I stayed for 3 days in this lovely hotel. Warm welcome. Well situated for walks in the Cairngorms. And every day a delicous meal prepared by Lindsay. This is a hotel where I would stay again! Heerlijk klein hotel, Goede kamers zonder overdreven luxe. Eigenaresse kookt heerlijk. Uitstekende uitval basis naar het national park Cairngorms. Absolute aanrader voor diegene die... More

I saw the reviews and decided to book - and I'm so glad that I did. I decided to treat my other half to dinner on the Strathspey Railway on Friday night, but didn't really want to stay in Aviemore - and fancied somewhere quieter (but still only a 15 minute cab ride from Aviemore). Lindsey and Alison made us... More

Three little girls and two adults couldn't fit everything in they wanted to do. The safe graasy area around the cabins, which have adequate space between them, meant parents could watch through the patio doors as the children played and made friends with their neighbour's children. They fed the ducks and ducklings and watched a woodpecker feed from the bird... More

What an absolute find! Peaceful location (red squirrels, ducks, rabbits, a Wellingtonia tree) and the hosts, Alison and Lindsay, are almost straight out of a fairy tale! Warm and friendly, open and trusting and the attention to detail is amazing (my husband had his jumper, which he'd thrown over a chair, neatly folded - he doesn't get that at home!).... More

The Fairwinds Hotel offered several pleasant surprises: The bathroom in our room featured a large soaking tub, although in a design quirk the sink was located in our bedroom and not in the bathroom itself. During our stay we finally saw the elusive Scottish red squirrel thanks to a well-placed bird-feeder on a giant redwood tree right next to the... More

Ideal location for visiting the area. My wife and I spent three nights at the Fairwinds and had a really good time.We got a warm welcome on arrival and our room was spotless and very comfortable. The food was excellent (as my growing waist confirmed). Lindsey and Allison (now assisted by Lucy) run a comfy and welcoming establishment and we... More

Stayed for 2 nights and wanted to thank the owners Alison & Lynsey for their great hospitality. Thanks for the warm reception (when was the last time you checked into a hotel and they did not even have to look up your name?) to the specially made kedergee, the comfy bed in the newly refurbished rooms, thanks for the tips...

We are now considered regulars at the Fairwinds Chalets. The peace is healing, the view as we have breakfast is calming and the ducks came to join us. The accommodation is spotless, warm, comfortable and fully kitted out. Lindsay and Alison welcomed us like friends and were superb when we had some car issues late in the week - thankyou... More
