Bed and Breakfast in Dalwhinnie

"Staff is very kind, helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant is good, plenty of options in the menu and the drinks. swimming pool is great , a bit small but incredibly pleasant and a plus for your stay. Food at the restaurant is decent and portions are big, the bar atmosphere is great. Plenty of hot breakfast- could do with a bit more pasty options and the coffee is not great; wish I could ask for a proper drink instead of the wishy- washy one. Rooms are a bit tired but nicely newly refurbished bathrooms. Not the most luxurious place but overall a pleasant experience. "

"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."

"The room was perfect for our short stay in Aviemore. The location was located perfectly and surprisingly quiet even though the main road is next to it. There is parking which is easily accessible and was located to the apartment right next to it."

"Brilliant stay. Steam room was grimy but apart from that it was fantastic."

"Room was clean, food not great, didn't appreciate getting my drink in a plastic pint glass"

"Decent hotel for one night"

"A charming and wonderful hotel in the Highlands. It is a great location central to everything you’d want to see. Not much around in the village, but that is part of what makes it great. It’s peaceful and really a different world. The room was nice, the food was great, and the staff kind. I’d stay here again!"

"What a great place to stay- really clean, a comfy bed, quality linens and well-maintained room with a little fridge. Staff are all friendly and efficient. We stayed in a chalet years ago and liked it and decided to try the motel this time. We’ll definitely be back! It’s the best motel we’ve stayed in in Scotland, and it puts most U.S. motels to shame."

"This was a splurge for us. We all loved it. We were in Scotland for 11 days, and this was above and beyond everyone's favorite property. We had three rooms, all equally clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Dinner and dessert were amazing. The grounds were peaceful and lovely. We walked over the Invergarry ruins on the lake path, just beautiful. Can't recommend this place enough. It was well worth the splurge. "
