Book a hotel near CairnGorm Mountain, Aviemore

"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"

"Very well run hostel, we enjoyed a private room with shared bath. Favorite part was the views and location!"

"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."

"Great for young children, lots to do within the resort, breakfast was nice with lots of choice. Room was clean, but the hotel on a whole needing a bit of upgrading and decorating. Would recommend though and would return."

"We had a fantastic stay exploring the Cairngorms from this location. The house is perfectly positioned for accessing Aviemore and the Rothiemurchus estate, Loch Morlich, Loch Uaine and the funicular uo to the Ptarmigan top station, with further trips by car up to Loch Ness, Inverness, Balmoral and the wider Cairngorms park. The house itself is well equipped, with a hot tub and sauna that are well maintained. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. We brought our bikes which could be locked away securely and there are an abundance if options for outdoor pursuits. We will definitely look to come again!"

"Amazing location and views. Loads to do in the area. House was clean, spacious and overall great."
