6. Sweeney Aviemore Two

Aviemore

"Easiest check-in process (a door code was emailed in advance and you just let yourself in!). Room was clean, comfortable and a decent size. In the heart of Aviemore town centre so very convenient for all the shops and restaurants. Within easy reach of all the outdoor activities the town is known for. There is a restaurant and bar on site. Breakfast offered a good variety of choices, including gluten free options. Would definitely stay here again."

Top Ballater Hotel Reviews

The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was lovely. The breakfast was great. The room was clean and spacious. For train travelers, the walkway was not adequately signed and it was quite steep. I would stay again, though."

Craiglynne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful historic hotel with an excellent restaurant large comfortable lounge area. The Check-in staff, Mel and Ang were wonderful (and Aussies like us) and Fred who looked after us at dinner was great. There was even a piper walk-through in full regalia during dinner which was a nice touch. The rooms were good with everything we needed. Very nice stay."

Highlander Hotel

8/10 Good

"I liked the location where we could walk to a store. The breakfast was delicious! The waiters were great. Some of the front desk staff could have been friendlier and more talkative. The upstairs room was clean but noisy enough at about 4am to keep me awake. (It sounded like furniture was being moved around.) I mentioned this to the staff, but they seemed unconcerned. I loved the wandering ducks! They were so cute. I was sorry I didn't have any bread to give them! :)"

The Speyside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Speyside Hotel, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in a charming location, this hidden gem offers an intimate atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The decor is beautifully curated, blending modern comforts with a touch of local charm. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, providing personalized recommendations that truly enhanced my experience. The dinner was delightful, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that set the tone for a wonderful stay ahead. While I want to keep this secret spot to myself, I can't help but share how exceptional my stay was. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle, I highly recommend The Speyside Hotel. Just don’t tell too many people!"
