Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We stayed at the Gatelodge and the outside is impressive. The inside is a little tired but had everything we needed. The estate and beach are stunning and we did the 6 mile walk to pattack falls which took us through most of the estate. Only thing we weren't impressed with was being asked to clean the place before we left. Stripping the beds and emptying bins fair enough but when your paying over £800 to stay for 5 nights you don't expect to be asked to vac and mop before you leave

Absolutely fantastic stay in the Eco Pod. Spotlessly clean and roomy.. Comfy bed, great towels and mazing spot - so peaceful, but also in a way that allows you to turn up the tunes knowing no-one will hear a thing 😀 great 2 hour spin on bikes from the pod, mushroom picking and lovely beach. Shower was superb and lovely and warm. Great WiFi. Will book again. Only think missing was a corkscrew but was no big deal and had everything else required.

Although famous for TV and film appearances, Ardverikie Estate is far more impressive in real life. The cottage we stayed in was really nice, clean and well equipped, with it's own closed garden for our dog. Staying there, you are allowed to wonder the whole estate, even by car (if robust enough) to the remote areas. Deer roam freely and the scenery is breathtaking. As a conservationist I noted the work the estate is involved with, bringing back native tree species and enhancing habitats in an incremental way. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendlier. I put it to my wife that it felt a little like coming home. I am sure most people feel that way. We would highly recommend a holiday at Ardverikie. We are returning for a two week stay with a group of friends as soon as wee can. An amazing place.

We stayed in the Gatelodge and it was a lovely comfy space. Plenty of wood provided for the fire. We had a number of people stop to take photos as it is a lovely building but they didn't disturb us. The walks on the estate were amazing and we walked miles. Every single member of staff we ran into were very friendly and if there was something they could sort for you they did. I would definitely return.

We stayed at Inverpattack Lodge, one of the Ardverikie Estate houses, this August. The accommodation itself was really lovely. it is a beautiful house and it was clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The staff at Ardverikie are very helpful and friendly too and dealt with our enquiries efficiently.
The reason this is a four star review not a five star is really to do with elements that are beyond the control of the owners. Firstly, the house itself sits just above a very busy road. It made us anxious as we were travelling with a young child with additional needs and with a dog. The outside space was large but very sloping, and mainly taken up with gravel driveways. There are two picnic tables out front, but this summer at least, there was a lot of traffic passing by. If you are looking for total peace and quiet, or a lawn for children to play safely on, then this house isn't for you. If you are travelling with older kids or adults, it's a great house for large groups and the hot tub is a bonus. We were told we could walk for miles from the back of the house, but we found the fields adjacent to the house impassable at the top with no clear paths to follow - we may not have explored far enough!
The estate itself is really very beautiful. It is a few minutes' drive and it would not be safe to walk unfortunately, due to the fast traffic on the winding road. The beach is a magical place and great for swimming and picnicking. We were a little surprised to see cars park on the beach itself (aside from those pulling boats and canoes of course) as it seemed mad when you can park right next to the beach anyway. Also, quad bike tours pass through every few hours, but only for five to ten minutes. The road at the edge of the lake can be heard, but only distantly. Aside from these disruptions from contemporary life, the beach at Loch Laggan is one of the most beautiful places we've visited. Up the hill, the estate has walking routes on wide, even tracks with beautiful views - great for walking and biking. My son also scooted up and down the road to the castle very happily.
Overall, the four rating comes down to our personal preference for tranquility and to the limitations of the outside space around the house. Other than that, this is a brilliant spot for exploring the Cairngorms. The Highland Wildlife Park, Loch Insh, Aviemore and Newtonmore are all within easy reach. We may well return but to a different Ardverikie property, further from roads.

Myself and my wife stayed in the eco pods for two nights in February this year. The pod and the views were excellent. I would recommend this to anyone who love being out doors and in nature. Took us a while to get the fire going which we need as temperatures went below 0. The grounds were massive great loop walk around about 6mile walk would definitely return maybe in summer when it’s a bit warmer

Had an amazing couple of nights at this compact but very comfortable lodge. Very well equipped inside and out with quality products. The outside decked area is great for sitting round the fire and soaking in the surrounding forests and hills, I especially loved the outdoor shower. With access to the whole estate theres plenty of wonderful walks to keep you occupied. Would return in a heartbeat 💗

Stayed here with Family August 22 . Huge farmhouse very clean and plenty of kitchen pots pans etc . 2 dishwashers which saved some work ( the bigger dishwasher wasn't working as well as it should ) small one was good. A bit surprised there was only one TV which was huge . As we had mixed ages of children so just had music channels on to save arguments . Had some lovely rides out went to the beach a couple of days . Some family went on walks to the waterfalls . Its many years since I last went to Ardverikie and its changed lots . Surprised to hear no fishing allowed on the lochs anymore . We did ride out to find it but couldn't. As the site manager said some tracks have been changed.. all In all my family have now visited the Highlands and loved it very much .

Excellent accommodation in a truly beautiful location. All amenities ( game room with pool table, air hockey soccer table, bbq etc) and very comfortable. Everything you need for a wonderful relaxing vacation. Perfect if you’re a Monarch Of The Glen fan. Great scenery!

Yes you can, but some roads do need 4WD access. There is a sealed road all the way to the big house along the Loch although you cannot go the entire way up to the big house. You also need to be careful of heavy machinery at times as there is some construction work on the estate at present (Oct 2016).
"The Gatehouse screams romance but its 3-level spiral staircase might be difficult for some. Pinewood offers quiet beauty and all ground floor convenience."
There are more places to choose from in the Kinlochlaggan area.
