Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Vary good"

Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"The resort is quite old and in some spots pretty rundown. The cleaning team does a great job with what they have. when it comes to the support staff We found a range between some who were kind and helpful and others who seemed as if they were a bit hungover and couldn't be bothered"

High Range Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thanks : we had a good stay ."

Sweeney Aviemore Two

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, clean. The property manager was wonderful. She showed by 11:45pm at night to help us get internet the front door code wasn’t working for us and checked in on us the next day."

Eriskay Guest House and Aviemore Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"Ken and Gill were amazing hosts. Very accommodating. The property is well maintained and you will be well taken care of during your stay. The property is walking distance to a nice restaurant Winking Owl, pizza, fantastic gelato and very good coffee at Costa. We loved our stay and would recommend Eriskay to anyone!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"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."

10 Bynack House - Aviemore apartment close to village centre

10/10 Excellent

"i have been holidaying in Aviemore for over 30 years this apartment was very clean and had everything required for a relaxing holiday my only point would be that the weather was fantastic and a couple of deckchairs would have been amazing to have at our disposal to sit outside and enjoy the weather"

No2 Bynack House - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"As with previous stay accommodation and location perfect. Only one wee issue we both felt the mattress was a bit hard (i know it’s same mattress as last time but just felt it a bit more this time). Neighbours do NOT respect the parking space allocated to the property and we had to park further away on arrival. My wife commented to the person in our space who had also just arrived next door and he said he didn’t care about parking spaces and never moved for his complete stay (4 days). We won’t hesitate to return however as this is ideal for our needs. Thank you"
