Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Because it's such a large property I got lost. Have your check in person circle your hotel because there are 4 of them. Breakfast was excellent!!!"
"Stayed for the weekend with the family (2 adults & 2 kids aged 8 & 6). Room was a good size and clean. Great amenities on site - playpark, cinema, swimming pool, soft play & amazing pizza at the resort's Italian restaurant. "
"This hotel was amazing! It’s been newly renovated and felt fresh, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Our room was spotless and surprisingly spacious for our family of four, which made a big difference. The showers were fantastic, and the towels were thick, soft, and luxurious which felt incredible after a long day of hiking. The location was also perfect, just around the corner from several great restaurants. On top of all that, the receptionist was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which really added to the overall experience. We’d definitely stay here again if we get the chance!"
"A great site and a quality lodge chalet with a friendly and warm welcome from the owners. Very accessible for Braemar and surrounding natural scenery. Absolutely excellent!"
Fabulous sunny house in large private gardens. Sun porch & patio. Mountain views
10/10 Excellent
"A great family friendly home from which to explore all the wonderful activities and sights Deeside has to offer. Located near the Braemar Highland Games Center, the location is quiet but close to both the center of the village and the Dee River. We particularly enjoyed the summer evenings spent in the large beautiful backyard."
