Great house in ideal location

Loved the hot tub, sauna and log burner. Lovely house within easy reach of Carrbridge village with shoos and hotels / cafes etc via riverside walk. Loads of woodland dog walks nearby and a great base for touring in various directions.

Perfect Location

Close to all the main attractions in the area but in a quiet cul de sac. Very pleasant walks on the doorstep. Path to the river - where some happy souls dook themselves. An excellent spot.

We had a great week's stay at Salmon Run Lodge. The staff were very helpful regarding our query on the lodge key and sorted the issue out quickly and efficiently. The hot tub and sauna were well maintained and made a great difference to our stay.

Carrbridge weekend stay

House was lovely, very clean, great location, and the hot tub & sauna were great! Added bonus was watching all the trains coming into the village station from the living room window - my 11 year old was in his element!
Response from VrboOwner on 28 July 2026
We are super pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Salmon Run Lodge and that the young station master was able to keep an eye to the trains, hopefully they were all running to schedule :) We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

We like the architecture of the house, the privacy of the location and the good connection to trails

It’s a very attractive house architecturally. The dining and living area is very cosy. We lit the wood-burning stove and really enjoyed the warmth and atmosphere. There’s a small utility room (+++) leading out to the sauna and the hot tub (+++). It’s all very well laid out. The kitchen is beautifully fitted out, but could be a bit better equipped for cooking. The bathrooms are top-notch. The bedrooms are also very nicely furnished, but the mattresses are hard and uncomfortable. There weren’t any extra blankets either, which we could have done with. We could have slept better.

Holiday

Stayed in other Great North Lodges but was a wee bit disappointed with this one unfortunately. Lock on main bathroom was broken, shower in en suite was broken. Couldn't use the hot tub due to location of tub next to hedge where birds were nesting. We did have a good holiday though, and the lodge was comfortable.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 June 2026
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you had a good holiday overall and found the lodge comfortable. We are sorry you had a couple of issues with the bathroom lock and shower, thank you for bringing these to our attention. These have now been addressed by the maintenance team. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Short break at Salmon Run

Located in a quiet part of the village. Ideal for access to Ellan Forest trails. House well equipped for what we needed. Sauna and hot tub great after a days exercise. Instructions on how to work the tv and log fire settings were our only issue - but worked them out. Beds were comfortable, good power in shower. Lots of logs for the fire.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Mar 2026
Salmon Run is well equiped and is great for exploring around the village of Carrbridge and beyond, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. We will follow up on the log fire & tv settings to make sure this information is readily available for our next guests. Thank you

Great family summer holiday

Our family of five had a great summer holiday a the Salmon Run Lodge. Great location with easy access down to the river, leading to a short walk to the village and access to the woodlands. The lodge is great with the added bonus of hot tub and sauna. Great service from Great North Lodges as well - would definitely go back!

Really enjoyed our stay

The app we were sent was really good and helpful. The lodge was easy to find and had a good area for parking. Inside it was very spacious. We had everything we wanted and more. The hot tub was great, we didn’t use the sauna. We were really impressed with the lodge and would definitely recommend to others.

Wonderful stay in an amazing wee place. Lodge fantastic, feels like you are in the middle of a forest but only a short walk to the village. Staff very responsive and friendly. Thanks

Great experience

Great holiday home. 1 point marked down on comfort only due to the lodge not having a couple of basic things - colander and no basics such as salt/sugar/oil. 2 points marked down as lodge wasn't the cleanest.

Salmon Run Lodge July 2023

We had a fantastic stay. The location is absolutely perfect, especially for access to local walks across the river into the woods and along the riverside to town where the best coffee is at The Old Bakery! So much to do in the area that we never got round to everything.. will need to return.. for the 3rd time! The accommodation is great, lovely welcome and great facilities. Thank you once again.

Great place but a bit run down

We enjoyed staying in Salmon run lodge as its great location and available sauna + hot tub were ideal. However the place is rather run down in places, there’s broken decking between the hot tub and sauna, the shower heads leaked which sprayed water all over the bathroom, the BBQ area was not maintained at all which made it unusable. Having stayed at a few of the other available properties that Great North Lodges have they are a good bit better than this one.

Salmon Run Lodge

Overall cleanliness fairly poor. Issue with shower in main toilet, taps loose and difficult to operate as a result. Several lights inoperable. Small sofa inviting area needs replaced, very uncomfortable. Hot tub, supply of logs, size of kitchen and location all positive however.

Great location, hot tub an asset but accomodation a little tired.

We stayed at the salmon run over Christmas 2025 which is why I have marked down value for money due to higher rates over festive period. The location was perfect, many great walks and easy access to town, winter wonderland, beautiful frosty mornings and hot tub was fantastic. Sauna temperature was not very warm so we didn't unfortunately make use of it during our stay. Inside the accommodation, when we did not have the fire on was cold, perhaps the fire affected the thermostats on the heaters which meant the bedrooms were below 16 degrees overnight. Mattresses and bedding need to be replaced, metal springs could be felt on all the beds and tog rating on the current duvets were not sufficient during winter months. Kitchen frying pans need replaced, anti stick disintegrating into foods being cooked.

Salmon run lodge.

Hot tub looking a bit old. Tied marks on walls of tub. Lights not working next to hot tub. Sauna not reaching temperature. Door on wood burner needs fixing not shutting properly. But did have a great time . Good location. Nice to have fire wood supply. Would stop again. Just needs a little maintenance. Thank you.

An excellent location

A spacious and comfortable property, we enjoyed our time at Salmon Run Lodge. It’s in an excellent but peaceful location for exploring the surrounding area. Carrbridge itself is lovely with some great walks and attractions. A few minor niggles. The property wasn’t spotless. Dust, hair and sweet wrappers under furniture, dishes left in the dishwasher from the last guests and a freezer which leaked over the floor. The ‘guidebook’ is out date referencing things that are no longer available. Generally it could do with a tidy up, water stained floors, scuffed paint in most rooms, a lot of weeds growing up through the decking and gravel outside. Most importantly, the beds were clean and the hot tub and sauna were great at the end of the day, so generally we enjoyed our stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 July 2025
We appreciate your feedback which allows us to make improvements. We are addressing the issue raised with cleanliness and are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again. The fridge freezer has been replaced and the guidebook has been removed as we have digital welcome packs that are up to date. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay despite these issues.

Room for improvement

Facilities are good, location great for variety of activities. Good hot tub and sauna. However, the Double room at the front of the house had hair in the bed, mixed into the duvet and on the pillows. It looked like cat or dog hair and the bed hadn't been changed. The rug in the living room was hazardous and needs to be stuck down. The house in general was tired with the walls needing a touch up of paint, the conservatory was green with damp and the walls had cobwebs. The wooden floor boards were also separating which was a trip hazard and the lack of mats in the house for wet shoes from the hot tub. The mattresseses were uncomfortable. The radiator in the master bedroom made loud noises during the night, probably needs bleeding. A dressing gown had an unpleasant and suspicious brown stain! Sink in the ensuite is leaking at the bottom.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Apr 2026

Perfect house but below GNL standards

Well equipped home with great layout and plenty of space but upon arrival it was clear it wasnt the cleanest GNL I've stayed in and there's been a few so that was disappointing. Crumbs in cupboard, clumps of fluff and outside debris in en suite, coffee granules in coffee pot, L shaped couch needs cushions removed and hoovered and also pulled out and hoovered underneath. Bedrooms were perfect apart from Master suite mattress needs an upgrade. As does the tv which kept losing signal. Welcome pack was beautiful, the coffee and jam especially, are delicious. Hot tub, of course, epic however we had to make a chilly dash to grab our dogs that had got out of the garden I likely would recommend this property to others, however not sure we would stay again knowing other holiday let's have been immaculate. Also, location is lovely. Many thanks. Atholl

Accommodation comfortable but poorly maintained.

Salmon Run Lodge is in a lovely location, with easy access to forest walks and only a short walk to Carrbridge. The house is poorly maintained and, although tidy, was not clean. We noted from comments in the visitors book that this has been stated on a number of occasions previously. We raised several issues with Great North Lodges: no small kitchen knives, no kitchen scissors, broken toaster, frying pan unusable. These issues were rectified by the owner and parcels containing these items arrived quickly. However, there were other problems. The bathroom door lock fell off and we fixed it (noted in the guest book previously), bathroom tap flow control broken (mended by plumber), sofa arms stained, kitchen cupboard door was loose (fixed by owner), en suite shower was broken and several items of crockery were chipped. Two visits from a plumber during our stay to mend the shower. Cobwebs in the living room and hair balls in the bedroom made the house feel it hadn't been properly cleaned for some time. We enjoyed our stay and were comfortable, and acknowledge it is a dog-friendly property, but the state of the accommodation was disappointing compared to other rental properties.
