Top Cairngorm Reindeer Herd Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"The resort is quite old and in some spots pretty rundown. The cleaning team does a great job with what they have. when it comes to the support staff We found a range between some who were kind and helpful and others who seemed as if they were a bit hungover and couldn't be bothered"

Sweeney Aviemore Two

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, clean. The property manager was wonderful. She showed by 11:45pm at night to help us get internet the front door code wasn’t working for us and checked in on us the next day."

Macdonald Spey Valley Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, clean, comfortable accommodations with spectacular views. Book early for better rates."

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room with spacious comfortable beds, our family booked two rooms that had King sized beds with a single bed made up alongside (one had a bathroom and one a showerroom) We stayed one night and enjoyed a swim after check in and the soft play and playroom in the morning after we checked out (as you are able to use these facilities until 1pm once you check out) We would have made use of the free cinema as well (evening and morning) if we hadn't seen the same film earlier that week) I would happily come back on another trip and really liked the Elemis toiletries in the bathrooms throughout the complex, a touch of luxury!"

Sweeney Aviemore One

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean when we got there (although one chair was very wobbly - so we avoided sitting on it). The amenities were very nice - including coffee, tea, water and even Caramel Wafers (nice touch). Check out was seamless, location is great, so much available to do."

Cairngorm Lodge Youth Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Very well run hostel, we enjoyed a private room with shared bath. Favorite part was the views and location!"
