Top Braemar Castle Hotel Reviews
Balmoral Arms
10/10 Excellent
"This was a beautiful, cosy place to stay. Staff were super friendly and the lobby, guest areas and pub and restaurant were beautiful and welcoming. I would definitely stay again!"
Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel
6/10 Okay
"Our check in staff were quite rude, though the young man who checked us out was very nice. We had booked two rooms and one was pretty good, the other had a broken shower and housekeeping failed to leave any amenities. When the desk was called, no one answered. The property is within walking distance to town and hiking in the Cairngorms, which was really nice. Our first morning of breakfast was disappointing as they didn’t have several items ready, but the second morning was good. Overall, very inconsistent."
High Range Hotel
10/10 Excellent

6/10 Okay
"Dinner was not good. Dry overcooked fish Undercooked and under seasoned vegetables. Breakfast good. Bed room has amazing view."
Sweeney Aviemore Two
8/10 Good
"We had a Premier Double room which was clean, had fresh decor, was right by the car park and had a comfortable bed. There was a PIN code to access the room and we didn’t meet any staff on site. Messages to the hotel on hotels.com went unanswered. It was a slightly clinical experience."
Dalmunzie Castle Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful location and very comfortable stay"
Atholl Palace Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is in a spectacular setting, and the grounds are extensive, as befits a grand building from the 19th century. Inside the decor is in keeping with the overall look and feel of the building, and it's easy to imagine the guests dressed up for meals and other activities. A few things to note - those needing handicap access or an easier means for porting their luggage in or out, have no accommodation at the front door, but rather have to find the (somewhat) hidden notice off to one side of the entrance, which brings you into the hotel beyond the reception desk. In terms of actual indoor property maintenance, there were several relatively minor issues in my room and the hallway outside - including badly squeaking hinges in the hallway that could have been lubricated, a towel rack that didn't heat (bad heating element), a room door that never latched when leaving the room (unless windows were opened), and a step up to the bathroom that should have been marked with tape or other type of contrasting color border. To offset those items, it should be noted that the hotel staff was incredibly responsive - addressing these issues as soon as reasonably possibly. On the plus side, the grounds were magnificent and very well tended. Additionally, if you chose to walk into Pitlochry and found yourself too tired to make it back to the hotel on foot, you could call the front desk and they would send their van driver to pick you up. Overall, I'd give them an 8 out of 10."
