8/10 Good

"We had a fantastic stay at the Old Ministers House and have booked with GNL many times. We visit the area several times a year and the location at Rothimurcus is perfect for us for all the activities we enjoy. The house itself is very comfortable there's lovely big sofa in living room, bedrooms and en-suites all clean and big comfy beds, the kitchen could do with a bit of a spruce up and a couple of things renewed however the house has the perfect layout for family groups and and the garden with hotub & BBQ area is fab. The only moan we have is that for the price logs could have been provided not just as a starter pack."

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

8/10 Good

"The 'Aviemore' hotel block is dated but despite this the room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. We used the pool with our kids however the water was very cold and we didn't stay long. The whole resort has plenty to offer and is good for a family stay but it could do with some areas being refreshed soon."
