Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel

Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel was very family friendly. Excellent soft play, pool and outdoor playground. The dinner and restaurant were excellent as well. Special thanks to Charles and Augustine at the dining room and breakfast. Augustine went above and beyond to accommodate us. Breakfast itself could have been better. It was lacking options and the vegetarian sausages ran out a few days."
