I stayed here for two nights in April 2012. This hotel is part of a chain of other hotels owned by the MacDonald Group called Aviemore Highland Resort, all in close proximity to each other. My colleagues and I used the conference and the dining facilities for one dinner in the Highland Resort and they were excellent and ideal for... More

Difficult to know where to start. Ugly 60s tower block recently repainted to make it look like it's been refurbished, which it hasn't. Reception area freezing cold, as both automatic doors broken and left open all weekend. Reception area like a 3rd world bus station. not a place to relax, especially when you would need thermals to sit there for... More

This is a very large hotel in a very small village. We were told that it was suited more for the ski season. I found the staff at the hotel to be very friendly and efficient. Despite two busloads landing there at the same time they had our baggage in our rooms within half an hour. We only stayed there... More

We even changed one of the party one week before the event so were irate to find that on arrival Macdonald had bumped the three of... More

Visited this hotel on a business trip and had a look around the whole Macdonald Resort. I learned that this was the oldest hotel in the complex and it is starting to now show its age.

I arrived at the Four Seasons and after trying to gain entry for a couple of minutes, I realised that it was actually closed. There is a vague sign apologising for any disruption during renovations but nothing to indicate that its closed or what to do. After sitting with my wife pondering over what to do, I decide to drive... More

As with the previous reviews the hotel is tired and in need of a complete refurbishment. Stayed for Hogmanay, food was horrendous, service was terrible and the brochure was misleading. I would recommend the Cairngorm Hotel at the bottom of the hill where the food is home made and every member of staff smiles and wants to have a friendly... More
