Best Hotels in Aviemore

When we first arrived at the hotel we were greeted warmly and given checked in fairly quickly. I had chosen a “cosy double room” didn’t realise quite how cosy this room would be. The bed was smaller than a regular double bed and the bathroom was pretty small too. There was plenty of parking in front and behind the main hotel building. Our room was in the courtyard which was separate from the main hotel building. The courtyard is not well signposted and we were quite confused trying to find our room initially, we had to ask a cleaner for directions. Other than being small the room itself was fine. The bed was fairly comfy and there were spare pillows in the small cupboard. The room had tea/ coffee making facilities and a tv with multiple channels. The walls were pretty thin so we could hear everything the people next to us were saying so bare that in mind. The bathroom appeared clean at first but upon further inspection the shower had spilled soap/ shampoo on the floor from the previous people that stayed there. Next to the hotel is the woodshed. The Woodshed was cosy, clean and served a variety of different snacks and drinks. Amy who works there was very friendly and welcoming and showed good knowledge of the surrounding areas. It also had popular music playing and a pool table. Dogs were welcome in this area. There was a real fireplace in here however this wasn’t lit when we visited.

Unfortunately it is slightly misleading to say this hotel has a lift to the 1st & 2nd floor, there is a lift but it is only on level with a few rooms, the majority of rooms are along multiple corridors & required going up & down stairs. Even ”ground floor” single rooms are up a few stairs. Would advise against staying if you have mobility issues or phone to ensure you can book one of the few rooms on level with the lifts. I had to go all the down to reception report my TV not working, then had to do it again an hour later when nobody had been up to deal with it, The receptionist had to ask for my room number again, so guess the original note went missing. They did come up shortly afterwards and then had to go and find a replacement remote control as it was faulty. Had a decent breakfast & at least there was plenty left, unlike last time when half the hot plates were empty & even the staff moaned when they started helping themselves when guests were still eating. Nice enough hotel, but it is a rabbit warren of rooms & don't try to use the lift when coach parties arrive with loads of luggage, you'll have a long wait. Need to put up proper yellow health & safety warning signs on doors with a step behind them and also repair uneven floor areas.

I was a little perturbed after booking by the many negative and scathing reviews of the MacDonald Aviemore Resort. Our stay was far from these reviews. We (my son and I) stayed in the Aviemore Hotel, the room was large and well presented, and was really clean. The corridors were a little cold and could have done with a spruce up but nothing that deterred from our enjoyment of the hotel. Staff were really welcoming and friendly and happy to help with all our questions. The breakfast was great, lots of choice. I overheard someone asking for gluten free options and this was readily catered for. We had dinner included and chose Giovanni's for both nights. Excellent staff and food was great. We used the pool both mornings, immaculately clean and again the staff were great. After a couple of no shows on the aqua jets and a disappointed boy after trying to book, the staff gave my son a shot at the end of the session. I can't fault them at all. My son had a small accident and the staff looked after him really well and followed procedure for incident reporting. Soft play was great too, really clean and not overcrowded. The member of staff on the desk at the activity centre both mornings was such a lovely lady and went above and beyond to make sure you had everything you needed.

We stopped by for dinner, on the recommendation of our hosts at Mt Barker bed and breakfast, also excellent, and had a great visit and some good scotch at the bar with Mark, the owner. Dinner was very good and we enjoyed ourselves in their lovely setting. My husband had the tender lamb dish, and I had excellent mussels. The service was pleasant and efficient. We'd go back if we were in the area. The walk along the street back to our b and b was along a street of former larger homes, now mostly bed and breakfasts.

Temporary booking, old-fashioned country hotel, not bad

Just stayed 2 nights at this lovely hotel with my husband and family. Food was absolutely gorgeous, I had haddock on first night and salmon on the second and both were so good. Throughly enjoyed our starters and desserts. Powerful shower, one of the best, home from home. Also, a very comfortable bed. Enjoyed driving around the local area and seeing the sights. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone having a trip to the Cairngorm National Park.
