Glenmore Lodge

Nice place to disconnect and enjoy the nature! Pros :) - room is shown as photo posted (though my room had a double bed + single bed), spacious and neat/clean - nice peaceful view from the room, windows can be open for fresh air - bedsheets and towel as are provided and clean - free parking on site - comes with breakfast the next morning and its buffet style, freshly cooked - staff are very friendly and polite - has several hiking trails around the lodge so is great to hike from the doorstep - shower is great, water pressure consistent and hot water supply is strong Cons :( - no TV, no fridge, no hair dryer, no amenities such as toothbrush toothpaste slippers or body wash/shampoo - no signal around the area but provided with wifi so is ok - breakfast was too quick and early personally (7:30-8:15) - walls are a bit thin, can hear the noises from corridor and if anyone open or close the door

Did a two day winter skills introduction course. The facility is excellent, the staff are friendly and the instructors very knowledgeable. We didn’t stay at the lodge as it was fully booked but the whole experience exceeded my expectations.

Apparently they’ve just started renting rooms through Airbnb, which I was very happy about! This place was exactly what we needed. Clean, good beds. Lots of rooms. Plus a washer and a really efficient drying room. They even have a bar in the facility that my friend really liked. They serve breakfast from 7:30-8:15 am, and it was decent enough. Really great location for hiking in the Cairngorms.

Great place to learn mountaineering from fully trained instructors before going out alone! Plus they provide free hire of top quality outdoor equipment if you don’t already have it.

An incredible experience on the intro to winter skills course. Great food at the lodge, friendly and helpful staff, and exceptional kit to hire. The guide was fantastic and we learned so much safely even when the weather was challenging to say the least. Highly recommend.

It’s been a while but enjoyed my stay some years ago, looks like it still offers a great set of products; courses and accommodation.

We stayed three nights as bnb guests and we loved it! Glenmore lodge is perfectly located in the Cairngorm mountains so you can start hiking right from the doorstep. The rooms are comfy and spacious. It’s a training centre, so you come across other guests who are taking a course there during meals. Dinner is optional, +£22, highly recommended if you don’t feel like eating out after a long hike. What I loved most about Glenmore lodge was the accessibility of it all. From the starter-level courses over to glutenfree meal options to the fully wheelchair accessible building, it feels like they’ve thought of everything. If you like the outdoors and great sense of community, that’s the place to go.

Did the 5 day intro to White Water Kayaking here with 0 prior experience and cannot recommend it enough. Fantastic rooms, service, catering, all round. The instructor, George Fell, was easily one of the cheeriest and most knowledgeable instructors I've ever had. The only downside was how quickly the week went! Will definitely be coming back for more.

Fantastic centre offering great courses, all with excellent facilities to come back to after a day of activities; whether it be on the water, or up in the mountains in which the centre is situated below. The food is AMAZING, with course participants being provided with a whopping 4000 calories a day, guilt-free too, as you definitely work them off! Scheduling in time for tea and cake in the afternoon only adds to the experience. Definitely worth considering if you're looking to do any course in the Scottish outdoors!
