   Hi all,
   Me and the fam are heading north and would like to stay in Aviemore for a few days next week. Looking at hotels and they all seem pretty expensive if not full, are there any cheaper hotels, lodges, B&Bs that people can recommend?

   Glenmore Lodge is outdoor education/actvity place that does accomodation. Clicky

   They have a bike skills track but not sure if they hire bikes or not. £10 for a day on the skills track+steak with a glas of wine for dinner

   Glenmore was not the best b&b when we stayed in march , it was clean but chilly
   Undergoing heating wasn't much cop

   They've also taken the Eco thing a bit far
   Breakfasts were a bit small and little choice

   Could try getting a last minute on a holiday lodge or silver glades , pine bank chalets
   Quite often have spare places

   High range motel behind la taverna is good value

   Carrbridge worth a look too
   Jane @ the Melon patch is a nice b&b , very friendly , amazing breakfast too
   Nothing too much trouble

   Hope that helps

   The bunkhouse is OK. Nowhere to store bikes securely overnight, so you need to take big locks or store them in a car. Rooms (dorms) were quite hot when we were there, but it's OK, and the pub next door is good for food and drinks, with tables outside if it's nice.

   Right next to the railway line too, so you get a nice early wake-up call when one trundles past

   Bunkhouse is pretty average as whyter states. Last time we went there wasn't much room in the drying room and nowhere to store bikes safely - pub next door is excellent though.

    Possibly not what you want but I'm booked in at
    http://www.caravanscotland.com/wigwams.htm for later in the year.

    *Note I've not used it, merely found it on web, using in Sept.
