Jenny

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room was dated but spotlessly clean. Overall the hotel felt tired and lacked atmosphere particularly in the bar and restaurant areas. The awful rusty radiator was particularly off-putting in the bar area. However, the resort is perfectly geared towards a young family with lots of activities and of course the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We had a great few nights away and our kids loved their time in Aviemore.
