Great Stay will be returning

Came for the skiing over NY but not able to due to warm weather. Faculties at the hotel were great and it was clean and comfortable. It is within walking distance of all the restaurants and bars on the Main Street. Great location to travel to activities but a car is recommended. We would certainly recommend and will be returning in March.

Second time up in Macdonald Aviemore and it’s always been a delight. Love it and my 5year old daughter can never get enough of the pool especially🙂. Looking forward to another break up in Aviemore.
Lisu, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful

Dirty hotel - ripped cushions on the bed Freezing Won’t put the fire on in the bar and all customers complaining - takes 20 min to get two simple drinks in a bar that only had two other people in it. Giving free drinks to people of their choice and then says they’ve drank too much. Strange No stocking gf bread and don’t know their menu to explain it I’ve only ever complained about one hotel so I’m gutted to have to do this Poor poor management Do not eat in the restaurant Rude staff Don’t replenish your tea etc and I can’t remember the rest… just don’t stay there. Go to the cairngorm hotel or coylumbridge.

Lovely hotel let down by beds.

Great facilities and professional staff stay was let down by very bad mattresses, ill fitting bedding and also a blocked loo on arrival. Pool was great with wave machine, flume and spa. Parking was easy and free too.

The room and the hotel itself was very dated, but the breakfast each morning was delicious. A real highlight for our 4yr old son was the soft play and swimming pool.

Stayed at Highland Hotel. Breakfast good, full range of food and on a par with most hotels. Rooms bit dated but clean and tidy. Pool joined on to this hotel and is excellent. Caters for all ages.We were hesitant after reading reviews on this hotel but don’t let them put you off. Not a 5* but good central base for exploring the area.
