“The Macdonald Morlich Hotel sits comfortably within the Aviemore Resort, right in Cairngorms National Park; the location is ideal for active families and couples seeking a relaxing retreat. I especially like that the resort offers diverse dining and leisure options, including an Italian restaurant and a lagoon-style pool. It's a solid choice, particularly given the resort's family-friendly focus and award-winning service.”
