Bonnie Doon is a charming, well-equipped cottage in Aviemore, praised for its excellent location, beautiful mountain views, and easy access to walks and local amenities. Guests consistently highlight the property’s cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and suitability for both couples and dog owners. The enclosed garden and proximity to the steam railway are particular favourites. While most found the cottage comfortable and well-maintained, a few mentioned minor issues such as a firm bed, outdated décor, and occasional maintenance needs. Overall, guests thoroughly enjoyed their stays and would happily return.
The majority of reviews describe the cottage as clean, tidy, and well-presented. Only one or two guests noted minor issues such as attention needed around the kitchen tap and sink drains, but these did not detract significantly from the overall impression.
Location is a standout feature, with guests repeatedly praising the cottage’s quiet yet central setting, easy walking access to Aviemore, scenic views of the Cairngorms, and proximity to walks, shops, and public transport.
Most guests found the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with particular appreciation for the living room and underfloor heating in the bathroom. A few mentioned the bed being too firm and the sofa being small or less comfortable, but these were not universal concerns.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with a good kitchen, washing machine, and everything needed for a pleasant stay. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as a slippy bath, shower head needing fixing, and a noisy bathroom fan, but overall facilities were highly rated.

Bonnie Doon was an excellent accomodation for our trip to Aviemore. Very clean, well equipped and a good location to discover Aviemore. Great value!

Situated on a quiet estate only 10-15 minutes stroll into the centre of Aviemore. Warm and comfortable bungalow with a view towards the mountains, showing an ever changing dusting of snow. Steam trains a few yards from the bottom of the lawned garden pass a few times a day. Besides the immediate locality, I managed to explore the coast from Fort George to Banff containing some interesting ancient harbours. Note that the A9 going north is undergoing a dual carriageway upgrade with 40MPH restrictions....

We have stayed in this accommodation several times and have loved our stay every time.The location of the property is outstanding.The garden is loved by our fur baby.The property offers everything you need.The view of the cairngorm mountains from the living room window is breathtaking Attention to the cleanliness around the kitchen tap could be better and the sink drains may need looked at regarding how quick they drain and how they smell.We find the bed very uncomfortable as it is rock solid but may be what other people like.Other than those few points we love this accommodation and will return again as the location is perfect and we love Aviemore
