Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious and bed super comfy, bathroom was a bit dated but the shower was decent and the elemis shampoo/shower gel smelt amazing! Pool was a good size! Sauna was nice and hot, beware of the steam room it was burning!! It has a spa pool and not a jacuzzi so don't expect bubbles!! Electric chargers weren't working at our hotel but we managed to use the chargers behind the other hotel Overall a good stay and good location for town centre"

Pine Trees Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Pine Trees was up on a hill in a lovely location not too far a walk into the main town. The staff were welcoming upon arrival and our room was comfortable and clean. The hotel was beautiful and the breakfast was very good despite having to wait a bit due to how busy it was. It was a really nice spot I would recommend."

Atholl Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely one night stay here in a 'Classic' room. It was on the lower ground floor and along several corridors to access it but the directions and signage were excellent and the room had been renovated to a high standard. We used the swimming pool and jacuzzi - lovely surroundings, a little odd to have to wear disposable 'sockettes' over our shoes to enter the area and a little slippery underfoot but otherwise enjoyable. We had dinner in the bar at a window table overlooking the front view which was lovely. The service was excellent although became a bit slow as the bar filled up with only 1 staff member on duty. He did his best and a 2nd pair of hands eventually arrived to help out. Our meals were excellent. We enjoyed a stroll through the delightful landscaped grounds after dinner. The included buffet breakfast the next morning was in the restaurant overlooking the Tummel Valley where we were lucky to be given a window table (you pay extra to have dinner in this restaurant, we were glad we hadn't). The service we experienced throughout was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our splurge staying here."
