Top CairnGorm Mountain Hotel Reviews

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in was slow as usual. There's a fast-lane for those of us who had checked in online, but it was getting used as a general lane. The person checking us in needed to know who we'd booked with (why? It was all paid, and I'd already checked in online). Next he asked my name, but then said 'No, no, no.' I was sure I was right, but he was sure I was wrong. But then he found me on his computer screen and it turned out that I did know my name. Staff were exceedingly pleasant and helpful, especially the dining area staff. Top marks. Queues at busy times (buffet style) but the food was fine, though not spectacular. For the cost of the meals, one could have a lovely table service meal in a restaurant but if all-you-can-eat appeals, it's not bad. There's plenty of car parking spaces, but lots of white vans parked - and long-wheel base vans take up at least two spaces, and sometimes more if they are wide. Dedicated parking spaces for vans would be useful. At night, it can be hard to find a nearby parking spot but the coach car park always has spaces. Overall, cheap and very good value for money and I do recommend this venue without hesitation."

Macdonald Spey Valley Resort

8/10 Good

"Great cabins and well set out so you don’t look into anyone. We had a great stay with the exception of the mattresses which were really uncomfortable and old in both rooms and the sofa bed you couldn’t use as the mattress was too thin. We had to take a mattress from the top bunk to be able to use the sofa bed. Apart from that it was nice and the pool was good and staff exceptional"

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good breakfast"

Two Queens Houses - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"We were relieved when the road opened up on the day our holiday was due to start following the wildfires, phew! This was our 3rd visit to the Two Queens Houses , we've stayed here in the winter for ski season, spring and now summer for hiking & water sports. Had a fabulous holiday, the Two Queens Houses ticks all the boxes for us and we love the hot tub and sauna these are 'bliss!'. The house provides everything one needs, it's so comfortable and spacious, it's a fabulous/stunning location and it accepts dogs . Thank you again for a fabulous holiday."

High Range Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thanks : we had a good stay ."

Sleeps 12 in 6 double bedrooms all en-suite

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for a week in July 2026 with grandparents and three family groups, we all had plenty of room and the annex was perfect for grandparents to have a quiet space. En-suites throughout is a real plus point. Everything was clean and well maintained. The location was perfect for us. Really useful to have the cafe and farm shop on the doorstep, along with bike hire, cycle path and tree treck! We used it all!! Quick drive (or cycle) to the loch with the paddle board/canoe - we had it nearly to ourselves. Only slightly further to loch Insh for all they have to offer. Easy cycle into Aviemore too! We will definitely book this again - we need to come back when the mountain is open (closed during our stay due to the wildfires). Thank you for a superb holiday."

Earth House Scotland - Stunning Historic Fishing Lodge on the River Spey

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I stayed at Earth House for a week long vacation in Scotland. The property is even more breathtaking than in the photos and videos. Our group included 15 people from age 6 to 74 and every one of us agreed that it was one of the most amazing locations ever visited. The house maintains a rustic charm while having the most up to date bathrooms, kitchen and appliances. We woke up to the sun rising over the Highlands with sheep baa-ing from the nearby farm. Aviemore was a quick drive away and provided running and hiking trails, coffee shops, restaurants and plenty of activities for the children. Day trips to Inverness and Urquart Castle were very easy. At Salem's recommendation, we hired Pauline, owner of Polipocketseats, to cook for the family. Her food was delicious and accomodated the many different tastes and preferences of our group. We ended each day as a family with tea by the fireplace.Salem was extremely helpful during our stay and answered all questions we had about the house and touring around Scotland. We miss the house already and I highly recommend Earth House to others!"

Fabulous location, luxury lodge for 8+2 in cots, hot tub, garden, garage, dogs

10/10 Excellent

"We had 4 nights in the bungalow. Was a joy to stay. Had everything we needed at the property and ample space for all 8 of us. Check in was easy and the accommodation was spotless. Kitchen was large with plenty space with 2 fridges. We all enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings whilst watching the sun setting which at the same time watch the cattle head down the field."

3 bedroom accommodation in Aviemore

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent holiday house in a fantastic location. House is exceptionally warm and cosy. Highly recommend. Only slight issue - I am extremely allergic to animal hair and there were remnants of dog hairs in the lounge."
