Aberdeenshire and Moray hotel rooms a the Independent

"The staff member on reception was excellent - Lauren. Breakfast was good, lots of staff ensuring the buffet always stocked and food was fresh. Bar is dated and house white wine dreadful. Room comfortable if slightly dated, bed comfortable."

"Maybe made clearer a little further out of city centre than we thought"

"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. "

"Shower gel ran out and the parking is a pain. But staff very attentive, very clean and an excellent whisky bar!"

"We loved the stay at Thainstone. Extremely good value considering the pool and gym are included. The room was described as 9 square metres. It was much bigger than this. Breakfast was very good"

"Excellent hotel"

"Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. Freshly maid"

"Room was roasting 28degc. Air con unit was disabled, couldn’t get to sleep and had to leave early as it was unbearable even with window open. It wasn’t even 10 degc outside so they can’t blame the hot weather"

"Good large clean room with seating area as well as bed. Great view to Cairngorms. Rustic restaurant with reasonable eange of options. Only one beer available in the bar that night but many many whiskies. "
