Top Strathspey Steam Railway Hotel Reviews

Sweeney Aviemore One

8/10 Good

"It wasn’t very clear how the trundle bed worked and they had forgotten to give any sheets or duvets. After calling the reception, we did get someone come by with the sheets but as there is no reception it was a bit confusing as to what to do. Other than that the place was good, in central Aviemore so we just walked most places. Clean, and with utensils so we could do simple breakfasts in the morning. It would have been nice to have a dining table and actual chairs instead of armchairs as it meant my 2.5 year old had to eat his breakfast using the tiny coffee table and sitting on the floor."

River House Garden Rooms - a house that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect holiday property, everything you could possibly need, fabulous location near shops, restaurants, pubs and nature outside the garden gate. And of course the hot tub was really great too. Would highly recommend."

Sleeps 8 in 2 double beds, 1 twin and 1 single bedroom with extra single bed available

10/10 Excellent

"Five minutes' walk from Aviemore Station and with the river Spey immediately beyond the back garden, Spey Cottage proved perfect for our stay. Good social spaces for seven people to gather, comfortable bedrooms and the garden for when people wanted to be on their own. Very well-appointed kitchen, nice bathrooms with plenty of hot water, bedlinen and towels were excellent quality. Lovely east-facing decked area at the back. Apart from the occasional train pulling into the station, very quiet. Would definitely book again."

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel

4/10 Poor

"We were woken at 7am by a fire alarm and had to evacuate our room with a baby and a 6-year-old, only for it to stop before we even reached the muster point. It was later explained, quite casually, that it was caused by someone showering with the bathroom door open. Given there’s a sign warning about “sensitive” alarms, this doesn’t feel like a one-off and isn’t acceptable in a family hotel where sleep is already precious. We stayed at Macdonald Aviemore Resort as a family of four. When we raised this, along with a broken kettle, reception initially offered complimentary breakfast but later withdrew it after checking with a manager, which felt poorly handled. The hotel itself feels tired and in need of investment. Our room was small, especially with a cot, the shower was only lukewarm, and carpets were dirty with an unpleasant smell. The lift also smelt strongly of smoke. There are positives: the pool and facilities are good and we enjoyed them, though some maintenance is needed (hair dryers out of order, puddles on the floor, drains not very clean). The outdoor park is great for kids but also showing wear. Aviemore is a fantastic location, but the resort feels like it’s relying on that rather than maintaining standards, it’s certainly not 4 star. With better upkeep, it could be much better."
