Nethybridge Hotel
8/10 Good

Atholl Palace Hotel
10/10 Excellent

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Vary good"
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"
Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent food, very helpful staff and delicious food. Beautiful setting"
Scotlands Spa Hotel
8/10 Good
"Excellent helpful staff, spacious room, very good breakfast with lots of options. Helpful with an item left after our stay. Only issue was the sink and mirror were very low."
Highlander Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Our room was clean. Used to a king size bed so double bed took a little getting used to again. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good."
Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Royal Deeside
8/10 Good
"The hotel is beautiful and the amenities such as the pool, workout room, etc. are excellent. We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the finer dining restaurant. The service was great at check in, check out and the restaurant. Our room was extremely spacious and very nice. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious and the sitting area very nice. The big negative is there is no air conditioning. I guess I should have assumed this since the building is so old but we have stayed at older places that have been renovated and there is air conditioning. The hallways and common places in the hotel are so comfortable and it feels as though there is air conditioning there but not in the rooms."
