Top Boat of Garten Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

8/10 Good

"The pool is only open till 6 PM, and the town surrounding closes down around 5:30 PM. Nearby is fantastic for touring. We did the falconry and loved it."

The Speyside Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very spacious rooms and a lovely breakfast which you pre order the night before. Ample parking at the hotel entrance."

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in was slow as usual. There's a fast-lane for those of us who had checked in online, but it was getting used as a general lane. The person checking us in needed to know who we'd booked with (why? It was all paid, and I'd already checked in online). Next he asked my name, but then said 'No, no, no.' I was sure I was right, but he was sure I was wrong. But then he found me on his computer screen and it turned out that I did know my name. Staff were exceedingly pleasant and helpful, especially the dining area staff. Top marks. Queues at busy times (buffet style) but the food was fine, though not spectacular. For the cost of the meals, one could have a lovely table service meal in a restaurant but if all-you-can-eat appeals, it's not bad. There's plenty of car parking spaces, but lots of white vans parked - and long-wheel base vans take up at least two spaces, and sometimes more if they are wide. Dedicated parking spaces for vans would be useful. At night, it can be hard to find a nearby parking spot but the coach car park always has spaces. Overall, cheap and very good value for money and I do recommend this venue without hesitation."

"Great cabins and well set out so you don’t look into anyone. We had a great stay with the exception of the mattresses which were really uncomfortable and old in both rooms and the sofa bed you couldn’t use as the mattress was too thin. We had to take a mattress from the top bunk to be able to use the sofa bed. Apart from that it was nice and the pool was good and staff exceptional"
