We’re incredibly lucky to have the River Spey right on our doorstep—a stunning backdrop for our beer garden, a peaceful view to wake up to, and the perfect place for a walk during your stay.

This spot also serves as Aviemore’s main access point to the River Spey, welcoming all kinds of users—paddle boarders, swimmers, walkers, anglers, mountain bikers, canoeists, kayakers, and anyone else who loves the water.

We’re proud that what we offer here supports those groups by protecting and promoting access in line with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Access for anyone paddling down the river is now strictly limited to pedestrian only. Any boats will have to be carried from your vehicle on Dalfaber Road. This is not our decision, but that of the land owner who we lease the land from, whose desire is to protect the fishing rights they won further down stream. We thank you for respecting this..
