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.

A large resort with lots of amenities, very kid friendly, although the off peak restaurant availability is more geared to older kids/more expensive meals

Our room was dated but spotlessly clean. Overall the hotel felt tired and lacked atmosphere particularly in the bar and restaurant areas. The awful rusty radiator was particularly off-putting in the bar area. However, the resort is perfectly geared towards a young family with lots of activities and of course the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We had a great few nights away and our kids loved their time in Aviemore.

Super comfy beds, friendly staff, and the food was good. Great place to stay if you're visiting Aviemore for hiking/outdoor activities, espessially since they have a hot tub, pool and sauna which were great after a long day.

6/10 Good

Stayed at the resort while travelling for work this was quite an expensive hotel for me but alway wanted to stay in Aviemore, the staff were great on check-in but in general I wouldn’t stay again the hotel is in need general repair with gutter and soffit hanging off as the first thing I noticed pulling up. The rooms are seriously dated and in need of a major update ! When I got to my room I found confetti around the floor which leads me to think it hadn’t been cleaned very well.

Room was spacious and clean. Beds very comfy. No plug sockets by bed though. Good selection available for breakfast and the pool and soft play were great addition to the hotel. Didn’t manage to make it to the cinema but would have liked to.

Property was nice. Was able to have two rooms next to each other as my family doesn’t fit into 1 in UK. Breakfast had lots of options and was enjoyable. Within walking distance of Main Street with shops and restaurants.
