Travelling with a young family can be a nightmare when trying to find accommodation which is not too expensive, or even somewhere which will welcome babies or toddlers. Here at Fraoch Lodge in Boat of Garten village (in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park), we have decided to actively encourage young families to stay with us.
Fraoch Lodge crosses the boundaries between a B&B and a hostel. Not only can we offer comfortable twin or family rooms with hand basins but we are also able to offer a separate kitchen for the use of our guests to prepare babies bottles or meals as required. However, if looking to relax further and not worry about the catering elements of the holiday (after all your readers have to do this every day at home) we do offer flexible meal arrangements to suit the family and/or free babysitting services should you wish to take the opportunity to have a meal out at the local hotel or restaurant 5 minutes walk from the Lodge. Alternatively guests could have an eating out experience in with us without worrying about the kids upstairs.
Looking to do something active while staying with us – not to worry there are plenty of choices from kayaking to hillwalking; from ball pits to swimming. All the family can participate at a level to suit. There are even walks from our back gate into the woods, up fairy hill or all the way into Aviemore (6 miles). Loch Garten is virtually on our doorstep if our guests want a bit of a nature experience (osprey watching) or they could go to the Speyside Wildlife Badger hide with the older kids.
