This resort is huge, several different purpose-built hotels within one resort. It's right in the heart of Aviemore village so location is good, but the resort is souless.

Stayed at the Aviemore Inn on the Resort for 3 nights in early Feb. We had booked a suite and were not disappointed.

My wife and my son booked in for a long weekend to the Four Seasons hotel in October and had one of the worst weekend breaks of our life. We paid £330 for this 'pleasure'. There was a complete lack of information regarding the facilities available in the hotel. The majority of the staff in our hotel were of foreign... more

well there was a party of 12 of us, when we first arrived it was like a maze trying to find what part of the resort we were actually staying in - very rude and unhelpful reception staff - we eventually found our rooms with no help from any staff even though porters were wondering around doing very little and... more
