"A stunning retreat in the Scottish Highlands. Beautifully appointed, stunning meals and very friendly staff. And a big bonus: meeting the pet highland cattle Shamus and Seòras (pronounced Shaw-us) in Gaelic; John and George in English."

"Food was good, staff friendly and helpful. Room nice and clean and comfortable. Breakfast freshly cooked and tasty. Tea/coffee facilities in room could be a bit better and a bigger bar only area would be an improvement, however overall happy with our stay."

"Large, clean room with a king size bed. Big toilet with excellent shower. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good choice at breakfast and the evening meal and bar were very good value."

"I would return without a doubt. Lovely scenery and surroundings. Comfortable bed and great food wad only upstaged by the staff who were friendly and cheery."

"I stayed here with my 4 Yr old granddaughter the hotel and amenities were great The only downside was the food we stayed on a dinner and breakfast deal but found that the buffet lacked choice as very few options the salad bar was ok"

"Outstanding. Lovely location. Excellent service. Very nice room, well appointed. "

"Staff is very kind, helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant is good, plenty of options in the menu and the drinks. swimming pool is great , a bit small but incredibly pleasant and a plus for your stay. Food at the restaurant is decent and portions are big, the bar atmosphere is great. Plenty of hot breakfast- could do with a bit more pasty options and the coffee is not great; wish I could ask for a proper drink instead of the wishy- washy one. Rooms are a bit tired but nicely newly refurbished bathrooms. Not the most luxurious place but overall a pleasant experience. "

"We were woken at 7am by a fire alarm and had to evacuate our room with a baby and a 6-year-old, only for it to stop before we even reached the muster point. It was later explained, quite casually, that it was caused by someone showering with the bathroom door open. Given there’s a sign warning about “sensitive” alarms, this doesn’t feel like a one-off and isn’t acceptable in a family hotel where sleep is already precious. We stayed at Macdonald Aviemore Resort as a family of four. When we raised this, along with a broken kettle, reception initially offered complimentary breakfast but later withdrew it after checking with a manager, which felt poorly handled. The hotel itself feels tired and in need of investment. Our room was small, especially with a cot, the shower was only lukewarm, and carpets were dirty with an unpleasant smell. The lift also smelt strongly of smoke. There are positives: the pool and facilities are good and we enjoyed them, though some maintenance is needed (hair dryers out of order, puddles on the floor, drains not very clean). The outdoor park is great for kids but also showing wear. Aviemore is a fantastic location, but the resort feels like it’s relying on that rather than maintaining standards, it’s certainly not 4 star. With better upkeep, it could be much better."

"The room was perfect for our short stay in Aviemore. The location was located perfectly and surprisingly quiet even though the main road is next to it. There is parking which is easily accessible and was located to the apartment right next to it."
