Consider using the indoor activity center for some fun family time, as it offers a great distraction for kids and is often overlooked by visitors.

excellent family programming, luxurious swimming pool features, high-quality dining experiences

The hotel could really benefit from improving its check-in efficiency!!! clearer communication about menu availability would spare guests from unexpected frustrations !!!

my stay at the macdonald was fantastic! the swimming pool was awesome, with a fun flume and plenty of floats. we also enjoyed the delicious breakfast, which had a great variety. the kids loved the entertainment, especially the show, which was a brilliant performance!

100% recommend

The rooms are super spacious with comfy beds, and the breakfast had a great selection that kept the whole family happy. We loved relaxing in the indoor swimming pool and enjoyed the sauna too, making it a nice way to wind down. The only hiccup was our room being ready a bit late, but it didn't really take away from our stay. 😊

Good location for families looking to explore the surrounding outdoor activities. The indoor pool offers a solid place for kids to burn off energy and relax after a long day of adventures.

Expect some quirks. our room had a strong dog scent, making it hard for my allergy-prone kids to settle in. The service was a bit chaotic, with our room not ready at check-in and several requests going unanswered, which left us in a bit of a bind. A few details like peeling paint on the exterior could use some attention to freshen things up.

We had an amazing time! The swimming pool was the highlight 🏊‍♀️, especially with the fun flume. The only downside was the check-in process, which could have been smoother.

the macdonald was a great stay. the classic family room we had was clean and spacious. breakfast was served near reception, making it easy to grab a bite before heading out. the huge swimming pool was a hit with the kids, especially the waves!

totally recommend

Kids loved the soft play area and activities ran by the entertainment staff. Rooms feel dated and need upgrades. Overall decent stay but some areas lack cleanliness.

Great Family Activities with Room for Improvement

We had a fun family vacation, especially enjoying the huge swimming pool with its wave machine, which the kids absolutely loved. The breakfast had a wonderful variety, making mornings enjoyable. the room we stayed in was in need of refurbishment, and we encountered issues with cleanliness. it's a good choice for family fun, but attention to room maintenance is needed.

Just a fine choice for exploring town in Aviemore with good value for price. The double bed was comfortable enough for a decent night's sleep.

We had a fantastic time enjoying the lovely swimming pool and play zone, which our kids absolutely loved. The indoor spa was a great spot for some relaxation, and we also made use of the sauna to unwind after a long day. Just a heads up, the food could use a bit more effort, but it didn’t ruin our experience! 😊

Great location and friendly staff!

Just spent 2 nights in a triple room with the fam. The location is super central—everything’s a 5 min walk away! Staff were really friendly and kept our room spick and span. Only thing was the movie theatre was a bit understaffed, but we managed to have fun anyway. The bar area is cozy too!

Friendly staff made our stay enjoyable. wi-fi was spotty at times.

exploring the stunning landmarks and parks from a great base

I truly enjoyed my stay with a comfy, clean bedroom and the fabulous food and service at the Aspects restaurant, making it the perfect spot to rest after all the walking I did exploring nearby Glenmore Forest Park and the Aviemore Centre that's just a short stroll away.
