Aviemore Hotel Reviews

Expedia Verified Review…

5 / 5 Excellent

Mark the owner greeted me on arrival and I just knew it was going to be an excellent stay. He was very informative about the area and nothing was a problem. The room was immaculate and along with the rest of the guest house very tastefully decorated. The dining/breakfast area was lovely and comfortable. My breakfast choice was scramble egg and smoked salmon and it was delicious.

Improve the sleeping accommodation …

5 / 5 Excellent

I have been going to the Coylumbridge for over twenty years now . With family and for business reasons. There is always work going on unfortunately so they are investing. However the bedrooms are so dated that its like going back to the eighties. I have no idea why they continue to improve the location but leave the one place people spend most of their time. Very sad for such an iconic part of Aviemore

Fantastic stay!…

5 / 5 Excellent

We stayed 7 nights at The Park Guest House and we would thoroughly recommend it. The family suite was very clean and had everything we needed and having 2 bedrooms/bathrooms was a bonus with a teenage daughter. It was very good value for the 3 of us and the breakfast menu was excellent, especially the full Scottish breakfast and the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup! The owners and staff were absolutely lovely and very friendly and helpful and they would take time to speak to us every day and make recommendations on places to visit and ask how our day had been. All Covid-19 measures were in place which made us feel safe and we only needed to ask if we required fresh towels or anything for the room. Due to the current restrictions we had to rely on takeaways quite a bit and Erik kindly allowed us to bring them back and sit in the dining area. The Guest House is in a very good location and central to the town with plenty of on-site parking and we will definitely return if we ever visit Aviemore again. Thank you for a wonderful stay. 😊

5 / 5 Excellent

We stayed at one of the beautiful pods for two nights! The service was outstanding from our introduction and arrival tour to our departure. The couple that own the business are so welcoming! Breakfast at the accommodation was outstanding and an excellent price. I would highly recommend staying here and the location is perfect!

x location and hotel staff fabulous …

5 / 5 Excellent

Location excellent, food choices good and it tasted lovely, staff excellent, they couldn’t do enough for us. The swimming pool is still open and the use of a booking system works very well (from my point of view).
