"A great location to explore all the adventures the Cairngorms has to offer! Very friendly staff who greeted you with kindness. The breakfast offering was great especially as I am gluten free.

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room with spacious comfortable beds, our family booked two rooms that had King sized beds with a single bed made up alongside (one had a bathroom and one a showerroom) We stayed one night and enjoyed a swim after check in and the soft play and playroom in the morning after we checked out (as you are able to use these facilities until 1pm once you check out) We would have made use of the free cinema as well (evening and morning) if we hadn't seen the same film earlier that week) I would happily come back on another trip and really liked the Elemis toiletries in the bathrooms throughout the complex, a touch of luxury!"

Sweeney Aviemore One

"The room was very clean when we got there (although one chair was very wobbly - so we avoided sitting on it). The amenities were very nice - including coffee, tea, water and even Caramel Wafers (nice touch). Check out was seamless, location is great, so much available to do."
