Welcome to The Shambles Aviemore!

It is a luxurious dog friendly lodge located in the the Cairngorms National Park. It's a very popular choice with multi generational families looking for luxury self catering accommodation.

Our lodge is family friendly and can accommodate up to 8 guests. The lodge has many luxury finishing's and so much space for a large family or group of friends to enjoy.

Stand out features include the social outdoor decking which is home to the hot tub and the BBQ hut/ cabin. Not forgetting the playhouse - a great a wee escape for the young children. Perfect for wet weather days.

A short walk to Aviemore , the River Spey and the orbital route makes this a great base for exploring the Cairngorms. Amazing views can be had at the nearby 18 hole golf course.

With everything you'd expect from family holiday homes, The Shambles really delivers on the indoor space. With two lounges, each with a wood burning stove, there is room for everyone and all ages. The Kitchen has a fully equipped laundry room and a dining seating area for casual nights.

There are two double rooms with en-suite bathrooms. and a twin room that can be made into a superking on request. We also have a single room with a pull out ped underneath. A toddler bed is also on hand should you need to keep a little one closer and a cot and high chair is also available. Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, and board games will keep you connected and a desk area is available for any important work that cannot wait.

At Igloo, we believe in responsible tourism, and we take our eco values seriously. That's why we have partnered with Trees for Life to plant a tree in our Caledonian forest grove every time you book with us.

We also strive to support the local community. That's why we shop locally and use sustainable cleaning materials for guest use during their stay. We are also proud sponsors of the local ice rink and other community causes. The Shambles has some great artwork from local artists which really showcase the area.

The lodge is accessible to some as it has bedrooms, bathrooms, and a living room on the ground floor. Guests would have good use of the facilities, and there is parking for 2 or 3 cars. There are steps to both entrances.

The Shambles is located close to Aviemore Ice Rink, Aldi, Tesco, Boots, bars, and restaurants, as well as the Craigellachie Nature Reserve. Also close by is the hospital, Rothiemurchus Estate, Cairngorm Mountain Resort, Loch Morlich, Loch an Eilean, and Loch Insh.

Great Home
We had a great time at The Shambles. It had everything and more than you needed. The BBQ hut was great, as was the hot tub. It was a really homely place to stay. We hope to return again Only because we have twin toddlers…but the stair gate at the top was a pain, a hinged one would have been better and would have felt safer but understand why it’s the one that it is.

Just back from a fantastic family weekend at The Shambles. The Host’s were extremely helpful and when we realised the kettle wasn’t working we had a replacement in under 30 minutes. The accommodation is lovely, spacious and very well equipped. Aviemore town centre is only a short walk away from the Cottage which was perfect for going out for a family meal followed by a dip in the hot tub finished off with drinks in front of the beautiful log fire. We would have no hesitation re booking.

We had an amazing stay at the Shambles! The house was so cosy and welcoming and the hot tub and bbq hut kept us entertained all weekend. Loch Morlich is a must see and not far from the house. Thanks to Nick & Erin for having us.

Erin
Having worked in tourism for many years, I felt now was the time to give people the sustainable choices that are increasingly important to us all. So using my extensive knowledge of the local market, I have created igloo with Nick. I understand fully the needs of owners and guests, having worked in the industry for a considerable length of time in management roles within rentals, sales and lodge services.

What I love best about the job is the customer satisfaction. Ensuring that everything is as it should be when my guests arrive and that they are kept well informed before, during and after their stay. I love it when people call and you really get a chance to get to know them.

Nick
I have had two passions for as long as I can remember - Travelling and The Highlands.

Growing up here in the Highlands, I have always been passionate about its history, places, people and our world class food & drink. I am particularly fond of our local craft beers!

I love to travel and I've always enjoyed getting off beaten track and experiencing things like a local. There is no better way to do this than self-catering.

Starting igloo with Erin not only allows me to combine these two passions but brings together my design, marketing and management skills built from a varied career across the public and private sector.

I have been brought up in Aviemore, as were many generations of my family before me. So I bring a deep rooted sense of love and responsibility to the area that I live in.

Why they chose this property

The Shambles is very popular so it can be difficult to get a reservation here. Well worth booking in advance.

What makes this property unique

Two lounges makes it a popular choice and fantastic garden facilities, including a hot tub, BBQ hut and children's playhouse.
