"We had an amazing stay in Aviemore! The motel is a little older, but everything was spotlessly clean, well maintained, and you can tell they’ve done a great job keeping it updated. The amenities were excellent, and the location was absolutely beautiful and so convenient for exploring the area. Everything we needed was right there, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Aviemore!"

Special thanks to Charles and Augustine at the dining room and breakfast. Augustine went above and beyond to accommodate us. Breakfast itself could have been better. It was lacking options and the vegetarian sausages ran out a few days."
