We came across this very friendly,very clean and very reasonably priced guest house on our tour of…read moreScotland and found it to be a gem. For an evening meal we were directed to an hotel just a short walk through Aviemore, and the recommendation was spot on. The short walk back was definately required to "see off" the fantastic meal we enjoyed! Our room was quiet, clean and very well equipped. As for the breakfast, typically Scottish, with "Pete's Porridge" a must. Both proprieters very much "hands on" and clearly experienced, and happy in the business. When next in the area we will definately book The Cairngorm GH again.

The Staff are super friendly and helpful. if you need help they are more or less easy to get hold of. The back cabins are nice and private. Pretty cosy too. The house is decorated with stunning photographs and artwork of wildlife - always something new that destracts me! It's good value for money and I will be back soon too - oooh it's pretty close walking distance to shops etc!

We've stayed a couple of times at Ravenscraig while visiting family who live in Aviemore and on…read moreboth occasions we've received a very warm welcome from Jonathan. We've just returned from our second stay for two nights and enjoyed it as much, if not more, than our first! Our first stay was in one of the chalets at the back of the property which are probably a little more spacious than one of the front bedrooms we stayed in this time around, but never-the-less, both rooms and en-suites are stylishly decorated, very comfortable, well equipped and very clean. The plus to staying in a room (No.5) at the front of the house is that you get a wonderful view of the Cairngorm Mountains a real treat as the sun sets and also again when you open the blinds first thing in the morning! Beds are not as firm as we'd prefer (personal preference I'm sure many like a slightly softer mattress would have no problem at all), but still comfortable and the bedlinen is good quality which all goes a long way towards a very good night's sleep and a restful stay. Breakfast offers a wide choice great range of cereals, fresh fruit, fruit salad, white & wholemeal toast and Jonathan's homemade marmelade try it, it's truly delicious! We also tried the delicious (and none greasy) full traditional Scottish breakfast (with plenty of flexibility to accomodate all diets and tastes!), Poached eggs (eggs not laid by the chickens in the outside pen, but we were confidently assured were local & free range) and smoked salmon on muffins (a lovely, tasty way to start the day!), alternatively the homemade porridge with berry fruit compote, seeds, honey or plain is also a real treat and will certainly set you up for a day's exploring and activity! The lounge with it's open fire (lit in the colder months), cosy rugs, antique style furniture, plus welcoming resident cat Milly(!), make for a great place to relax and chill out either after breakfast or after a day's skiing, hiking or cycling! Overall a very welcoming place to stay in a charming traditional style house which is very restful and relaxing with delicious breakfasts. You couldn't wish for anymore from a B&B!

We stayed at the Macdonald Aviemore as part of a Gate 1 coach tour. I have to say it was a very…read moredisappointing hotel. The lift is a story unto itself. The doors open and often immediately slam shut before anyone can get on. Then, if one has made it on the lift the doors slam shut after only one peron has exited. The hotel has onsite amenites such as a bar and an Italian restaurant, Giovanni's, that were always closed. Giovanni's is prominently advertsed and the room guide says it is open daily. When asked, the front desk staff said it is only open on weekends. We were here in September, and the hotel was full of coach tour clientele. Breakfast is not served on site but in the conference centre next door requiring a walk outside. Breakfast was sparse and the buffet ran out of food. I needed to alert the hostess before it was replenished. For the most part if one wants to eat or drink one must walk into the village. The hotel itself could do with some refurbishment. I cannot recommend this hotel.
