Stayed 17th February 2020

We stayed for 2 nights at the Highlands Hotel, Aviemore, having booked a deluxe room for dinner, bed and breakfast. Our first night went without a hitch but unfortunately on our second day there was a leak of water from the floor above that caused water to cascade through our bathroom ceiling through the extractor fan and lights. We called reception straight away as we were extremely concerned about the water coming into contact with the electricity. We were told that the overflow pipe on the bath in the room above ours had become detached from the bath itself, causing the water to flood down into our room. After around an hour and a half we were found an alternative room and had to pack up and move. The room we were moved to was a standard room (rather than deluxe) which was a real shame as we had booked the upgraded room specially as we were taking this break to celebrate my husband's birthday.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Macdonald Aviemore Resort - Highland Hotel. Friendly welcome, helpful staff and excellent hospitality. Had dinner in the dining room on both nights and food was excellent....as was breakfast. Would recommend this hotel to family and friends.

Lovely short stay. Our room and the parts of the hotel we saw were of a really high standard of cleanliness and no detail was left out. Lots of thoughtful extras in our room made our stay enjoyable.

Stayed at the Highlands hotel on the 25th and 26th March as the last nights of our touring honeymoon. Staff marked the occasion with a small gesture and a card which was a great touch. The resort itself looks a little dated but the room was ample sized and well appointed. Great daily menu and excellent staff service for breakfast, dinner and at the bar. The pool, steam room etc are a bonus - best avoid childrens swimming for a more relaxing visit. Good beauty and spa service.

The staff were helpful and the food was excellent. the rooms were in the process of been renovated at the time we stayed.

Stayed 14th March 2014

My husband, stepdaughter and I stayed at the hotel on 14 and 15 March. Thought hotel was lovely until we discovered there were renovations going on. Also, we had asked for 2 double rooms close to each other. We were allocated one on the ground floor and the other on the second floor! After much to-ing and fro-ing and talking to the manager, we were given 2 rooms together, which were both newly decorated. Following this, we had a great weekend and all thought the staff and service was great. Food in Aspects restaurant was of a very high standard and service excellent. Thanks to Mark from Classic Britain for sorting out my query with dinner booking.

We really enjoyed our break here, the 1st room we were offered was not great as had strong smell of pain and no headboard but when said to reception they couldn't have been nicer and gave us an executive room. Food was fantastic. X

lovely hotel, we had very nice room. they were upgrading lots of other rooms. food was very good, but the hotel was deserted at night which made a difference to atmosphere when we had drinks in the bar. 4 star hotel and no brandy glasses! IF YOU'RE A BRANDY DRINKER YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
