Aviemore/Highlands Accomodation

[Begbie]

Hello,

So my family wants to go to Aviemore or similar for my Uncles birthday in April. Can anyone recommend anywhere that can sleep 5 groups, so maybe 5/6 rooms. Doesn't need to be fantastic, but most places I can find at this size will only let you book for a week at £1000+

Thanks,

You might be struggling with prices because of the Easter holidays being around that time.

How long are you going for? £1000 for that number of people doesn't seem a bad price.

Great North Lodges do large lodges but will probably be more expensive, although you will all be in one place.

I've never used them, but Pine Bank Chalets seem cheaper. Doesn't look like they do a big enough place for all of you to be in one though.

If you don't mind a hotel then the MacDonald Resort has a range of hotels so you could find one that suits your budget. It has a swimming pool, cinema, shopping area and restaurants, but at the same time is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Aviemore.

Are you looking for self catering or hotel?

Macdonald Resort in Aviemore has 3 or 4 hotels as one large complex along with a swimming pool/cinema etc on site. There's also a Hilton along at Coylumbridge which has similar.

There's also numerous lodges of various size, it may be more practical if you're only going for a couple of days to take 2-3 of the smaller lodges taking 2-4 people. If you go to somewhere like Pine Bank Chalets http://www.pinebankchalets.co.uk/ all the lodges are right next to each other and you're literally right next to Aviemore.

I've stayed in the Macdonald Highland resort 2-3 times, its quite good. I seem to remember my mrs trying to book online & then phoning them, she got it a fair bit cheaper phoning as I remember. We got 2 nights with dinner for a couple of hundred....it was a while ago though.

The little pub just outside the resort does an awesome steak, my step son was training to be a Chef & while he was there we took him out to lunch. I insisted on picking him up again when he was coming home......well I had to have another steak dinner lol.

Going for two nights, been trying to phone great north lodges all day. Will try again tomorrow.

It's for 15 people, incl kids/babies.

I have found I can book a lodge through work £360 for two nights. Though it's all bunk beds, and I doubt it's up to any amazing standards. Though for the price, I can't see anywhere being any cheaper...

I'd be surprised if you could even get a hostel for that price in Aviemore. None of the places mentioned will be cheaper than that at any rate.

That works out as £12 per person, per night, that's a ******* bargain!
