Stayed at the hotel in February 2012 with my girlfriend. We eventually found the hotel having visited the four seasons hotel first (the larger building in the profile picture) due to lack on sign posts on the resort 'complex' itself. Found the room by going down one corridor and up the next. Very poor furnished room including old CRT TV... More

We booked in for a weekend away with the kids. Normally we stay in the Hilton coylynbridge but thought we would try macdonald for a change. This is supposed to be four star but not sure. The room was nice enough and it was warm enough but we were woken early in the morning by the fire alarm. My biggest... More

We were passing Aviemore and needed somewhere to stay for the night. We phoned McDonald Resort and were offered a 4* double room b&b for £84. Considering it was very short notice (5pm) we thought this was quite reasonable. On check-in we were offered to upgrade to DB&B for £115. The check-in clerk couldn't have been more helpful. We agreed... More

We were a bit worried about this trip given some of the reviews but overall we were very pleased with our 3 night stay and felt it was extremely good value for money on a DBB basis. There were good points and bad - on the positive side the staff are excellent, knowledgeable and friendly, the food in the Aspects... More

Me and my boyfriend arrived at 7.40 am on the Caledonian sleeper from London (which by the way is nice but my god the cabins are tiny! and we didn't sleep one bit probably due to the motion of the train!) we left Aviemore station and went across the road to the hotel (which was so handy at that dark...

Character-building would describe a stay at The Highland Hotel. The food in Aspects Restaurant is superb and the staff are amazing - BUT our room was cold and dingy; broken floor tiles mould round the bath, buckled bath panel. The central heating does not work but there is an electic heater 'for your convenience'! NO HEATING in the bathroom at... More

We are just back from another lovely stay at the Highlands Hotel which we have now had the pleasure of staying in a number of times. Right from check-in through to check-out we met with very friendly management and staff who were only too happy to make sure our stay was as comfortable as it could be. Our room was... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel on a weekend away from the kids and we loved every minute of it. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable with the biggest bed I've ever been in. As soon as we arrived we dumped our bags and then enjoyed a drink in the bar area next to the fireplace,... More
