The Pine Marten Bar - Aviemore

Did what we needed, bunk bed was comfortable, fresh smelling sheets and towels. Note that the way the large bed was assembled meant it was only comfortable sleeping head to the door rather than than feet to the door. There is a tiny fridge in the room, it was off when we arrived, be careful it has a switch at the back and this isn’t on / off as we assumed, but rather off/ fridge/heater. So we cooked our yoghurt overnight!|Midges are an issue, as the my are everywhere round here, so have layers and bug repellent, the bar is super close which is helpful, but we couldn’t hear any noise from it. Shower block is close, was never busy and had washing facilities too. Really enjoyed our stay

clean comfortable little pod. Had sofa bed, bunk bed, small fridge, kettle, microwave and heater. Bit cramped for 4 of us but we managed fine. Bar/ restaurant and small shop on site. Toilet/shower block has sinks, washer and dryer and a sauna. Very short walk through wood takes you to Loch Morlich.Nice staff too. Would stay again but maybe in the larger tree house.

Packed out but the food came out quickly and considering the location I thought the prices were reasonable. Just don't expect a fancy dinner and you'll get on fine at this place. It's perfect for if you just want to have a drink and a bite with your mates after a long hike

Fabulous spot with excellent staff, ale and food. We only had a quick snack but the Nachos were top dog. Chilli was super. Absolutely rammed but staff coped so well...Super service. Dog friendly too and a great bird watching location in the rear. My kind of place 🙌

Fantastic local bar / cafe, the chicken advicado club sandwich is very nice and the coffee is the best I've had round here, been here twice in a week for lunch, the staff are extremely friendly and down to earth, very dog friendly and a good little shop in side for all the things you forgot when out camping also walking distance to loch morlich

What a lovely wee place. Stopped off here a few times and it's rustic and welcoming. Staff are lovely and the food and beverages are good. Location is great right at the heart of forest where you can sit, sip some soup and look for red squirrels or bird spot.

Unprofessional and unorganised.

Kitchen closed on arrival 7:30pm no explanation as to why. Not to worry the staff who were working on shift were happy to blabber on to anyone who was unfortunate enough to hear, even worse have staff ask for cigarettes off them! The blabbering obviously came from the numerous shots consumed by staff and pints one male was drinking and carrying around.

Pros you walk in and the bars atmosphere matches its intended vibe, there’s a good energy. The drinks are local and also taste good priced fairly.

We was told we could order in food and eat which was fair, however after going out to pick up food we was then told the bar would be closing early, again no explanation. Leaving us to quickly eat our food.

Drank and ate here, good vibes and great bar food too.

Recommend any of the Cairngorm brewery pints, or the stout!
