Hotels with Parking & Resorts in Tomintoul from AU$177

"Rooms are for sleeping as staying in them any longer not too appealing. Clean but basic; tired and small. Restaurant was more modern making it a nice place to sit and sample some rather good food. Swimming pool and sauna serves its purpose well. Lounge areas comfortable and inviting; a good place to sit if you can’t bare the bedrooms. Great location for Main Street, shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Also, great location to explore the Cairngorms with an abundance of activities to participate in if you choose. Room not serviced. Bedding never changed after 3 days there. Had to request new towels and toilet paper. Staff helpful in this regard but wouldn’t expect you room to be cleaned or serviced. No real concerns. Good enough; reflective of the price you pay. All in all would stay there again."

"Dinner and breakfast were tasty. Had a delicious Blackberry Martini with dinner. Walked around village , very friendly people and staff was friendly. Very close to Balmoral Castle. "

"A slightly tired hotel in need of upgrading/modernising. Cannot fault the staff or amenities."

"Beautiful character hotel, plenty of parking and a steam railway next door. Check-in was friendly and very efficient, the room was clean and very comfortable, and dinner was excellent- really tasty and a good choice of dishes at a fair price- one issue; put the main course on a plate- the bowl makes it tricky to use a knife and adds nothing to the dish (on the plus side, at least it wasn't on a slate or an old breadboard!). Breakfast was individually cooked and tasty, but I should have liked more than the one and a half mushrooms- next time I'll ask for a couple more! Overall, this was as near a perfect stay as one could reasonably hope for; all the staff were friendly and efficient and my small observations are not meant to detract from my visit in any way. I am looking forward to going there again later this year."

"We were woken at 7am by a fire alarm and had to evacuate our room with a baby and a 6-year-old, only for it to stop before we even reached the muster point. It was later explained, quite casually, that it was caused by someone showering with the bathroom door open. Given there’s a sign warning about “sensitive” alarms, this doesn’t feel like a one-off and isn’t acceptable in a family hotel where sleep is already precious. We stayed at Macdonald Aviemore Resort as a family of four. When we raised this, along with a broken kettle, reception initially offered complimentary breakfast but later withdrew it after checking with a manager, which felt poorly handled. The hotel itself feels tired and in need of investment. Our room was small, especially with a cot, the shower was only lukewarm, and carpets were dirty with an unpleasant smell. The lift also smelt strongly of smoke. There are positives: the pool and facilities are good and we enjoyed them, though some maintenance is needed (hair dryers out of order, puddles on the floor, drains not very clean). The outdoor park is great for kids but also showing wear. Aviemore is a fantastic location, but the resort feels like it’s relying on that rather than maintaining standards, it’s certainly not 4 star. With better upkeep, it could be much better."

"Brilliant stay. Steam room was grimy but apart from that it was fantastic."

"Beautiful exterior and garden area, close to town. Unfortunately the 2nd floor room was hot enough to melt my recently purchased chocolate that was on the desk. Was about 80 to 85 degrees and there is no air-conditioning. The staff brought up a fan after multiple requests which we propped in the window that could only open about 6 inches. Contributing factors may have been the full hotel (and heat rising on a 60 degree day) or the exposed HOT to the touch pipe at the baseboards that went into the radiator (which was turned off). Rough night sleep where we debated sleeping in the lobby or going elsewhere about 10:30 PM."

"Keely, (receptionist), was a marvelous breath of grease air. All smiles, helpful, and super great personality. Room was clean a sufficient for our stay. Was a bit warm at first but staff was able to provide a table top fan. Was absolutely brilliant. Drinks and dinner ($$) at the restaurant was great and affordable. Joshua, our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu items and drink options from the bar. Breakfast, (included with the cost), was vast buffet selection of traditional Scottish meats and such. Overall the Nethy Bridge hotel was a great stay with superb staff."

"The room was excellent clean and very comfortable. Diane and Stephen was great host and very welcoming when we arrived. Fresh cook soda bread made in the morning and the breakfast was fantastic and tasty. We enjoyed our stay they very much. We was definitely got spoiled. They are shops near by one of the nights we were they we had an Indian meal. Couple of hotels for dining at. We loved it that much we are going back next year. "
