7.3

Good

From $147

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryThe Macdonald Highlands Hotel at Macdonald Aviemore Resort is a great place for families to stay. The facilities are excellent, especially for children, including a nice coffee shop, play areas, soft play and a lovely pool with a slide and waves that kept the toddlers entertained for hours. The hotel is a great base for exploring the area with plenty to do, especially for the kids. The Christmas activities tailored to children in the theatre were great and there's loads of other activities too. However, the swimming pool was too cold for some, including a 2-year-old. The amenities and facilities are included, which is really nice and the food was of high quality, but some kids' meals were the worst the guests had ever tasted. The family rooms, unfortunately, were not available, only connected rooms. Despite some negative experiences, overall, the Macdonald Highlands Hotel is a fantastic family location, perfect for those traveling with toddlers and kids.

Good

From $138

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryIf you're travelling with kids, the Macdonald Morlich Hotel at Macdonald Aviemore Resort is definitely worth a visit. The location is excellent for those looking to engage in activities in the Cairngorms and the facilities for kids are simply amazing. The hotel has a kids club and activities to keep them occupied. However, it's important to note that the pool changing rooms are tiny and can be difficult if you have a child with you. The hotel's restaurant can sometimes be chaotic with kids running about and being a pest, but there are other options like Giovanni's, which is more family-friendly. There were also some instances of children coughing over food with staff not paying attention. Despite this, the hotel is a great place for families - everything you need is close by and there are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. If you're planning a trip with a group, this hotel is fantastic - one reviewer even mentioned that it was perfect for their group of 14. Overall, we highly recommend this fabulous family resort and will definitely be returning.

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryThe Kingsmills Hotel is the perfect family getaway with plenty of activities for kids to enjoy. Upon arrival, we were pleased to find a cot already set up in our comfortable and spacious room. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything the hotel had to offer as well as attractions in the area. They even went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, accommodating my wife who has Alzheimer's.

The Kingsmills Hotel is also very family and dog-friendly with a patio area for dogs and a large swimming pool for the kids. However, we did notice a lack of night lights by the children's bunk beds, which may be something to keep in mind. Additionally, while the hotel is exceptionally dog-friendly, some guests noted that an area where they could sit with their dog in a basket would be a great addition.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Kingsmills Hotel and would highly recommend it to families looking for a comfortable and accommodating getaway. Just be aware that the WiFi can be dodgy and that a men's changing cubicle for kids may be handy.
