Top Lochan Dhu Hotel Reviews

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The site is ideal for families with younger children. We were nervous after reviews, but were pleasantly surprised. We checked in online before hand, so it meant we were able to use the dedicated 'online check-in' line at the front desk (I could see that others were having a longer wait, especially when groups came in by coach) Our interactions with staff were universally positive, with service staff in the main hotel area very friendly and helpful. The Activity Centre area staff were also friendly. The pool area and changing rooms were clean and tidy. We really liked that there were two separate pools, as the shallower/warmer pool was ideal for our less-confident swimmers. The pool slide was out of service, so we hope to try it on a future visit. Food was ok, but there weren't a huge number of vegan/vegetarian options, which was tricky for our family. It was disappointing that there were no vegetarian kids items at the kids activity zone cafe, but we were told that they are getting a new menu in the coming weeks, so that may change! If you are unable to easily carry your own bags up stairs, please keep in mind when booking that there are no lifts to the upper floors. You should ask for a lower floor, or confirm with the hotel about what assistance might be available. My husband ended up helping a group of older persons with large suitcases up the stairs to their floor, as they were well enough to walk up the stairs but not strong enough to carry their cases."

Macdonald Aviemore Highland Hotel

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our first stay at MacDonald Highland. It was instantly a child-friendly atmosphere (we were holidaying with a nearly 3 year old and a 5 month old) and the facilities for them were wonderful. The staff were particularly helpful and the family room set up was great although we had to drop the legs of a single bed down closer to the ground for our toddler as it was a bit too high. Our only very small criticism was the apparent lack of sockets by the side of the bed for phone charging (this would help when konked out after trying to get two young children to sleep!) We look forward to visiting again!"

Pine Ridge Lodge - a lodge that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Boat of Garten is a perfect holiday location but that’s another story. The property gets my 5 stars for a number of reasons such as back gate gets you directly into the woods for dog trips and children adventures. The garden is huge but not intended to be a ‘look but don’t touch’ place. Run around as much as you like chasing screaming children. And it’s big. There’s a large common area where everyone can gather or sit out on the balcony and look at the stunning highlands whilst sipping on a large glass of something. I don’t really want to go through everything there is as it would be a small novel and i am not part of the sales team so i will stop the guided tour. The property is maybe showing its age a bit in places but this does not detract from being a great place to holiday for big families (though I am not a fan of the stylish sink that was in our en-suite or am I being picky). Last year I gave 5 stars however the best indicator of our approval is to say that we are already booked up for next (our third) year. Just back and looking forward to next year’s trip. Did I mention the hot tub?"

Mallachie - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property and fantastic location, great wildlife, great bike rides and loved eating at Andersons. Added bonus, saw a scottish wildcat. Our 2nd stay here, we also love Mallard. The only thing to mention, is there was no pen to sign the guestbook, we couldnt fill it in last time either. We would recommend a couple of sunloungers or comfy seats for the garden - just for when the weathers great and you want to read in a compfy spot outside. Will definately be back, its one of our favourites."

Beautiful 2 bed cottage, peaceful location in Scottish Highlands; pet friendly

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third trip to Scotland, our first to this area and we loved it. We will be back.The property itself is excellent, even better than the photos. It’s large, comfortable, well laid out and equipped, spotlessly clean and in an amazing location. I would highly recommend this property and the owner, whose communication was timely and clear. Thank you! "
