The best accommodations Aviemore

In the shadow of Cain Gorm Mountain and on the edge of Loch Morlich, this second hostel of Hostelling Scotland is truly in the heart of nature, perfect for those seeking the closest proximity to hiking sites. It has a truly alpine atmosphere and many of the regulars return year after year. The hostel has a friendly bar and offers packed lunches for both lunch (handy for picnics!) and dinner.

On the shores of Loch Alvie, this family hotel is a cocoon in the heart of the Cairngorms. You will be accommodated in comfortable rooms and will enjoy, during your stay, the cosy lounge areas, the excellent cuisine of the restaurant (dishes ranging from the great pub classics to Scottish specialties mastered to perfection), the rich pub menu or the very tasty cooked breakfasts. Add to that a very pleasant welcome!

In the tiny village of Carrbridge, Carrmoor is a cottage over 100 years old, with bedrooms all en-suite and charmingly arranged. The tapestries and bedding are decorated with floral motifs and Christine, the owner, is very kind. She will be happy to advise you on your excursions and visits, whether to the surrounding natural sites - hiking, sports... - as well as for distilleries, historical and cultural sites. It is also possible to have dinner on site.

Ardlogie is a very friendly quality guest house that offers five double rooms, one of which can become a triple. Each room has its own shower and toilet, and is pleasantly decorated with tartan motifs and paintings from the region. There is a garden and a patio for relaxing, with a whirlpool bath. Guests are taken care of. Parking is in the street: it is quiet, so it is easy to find a place. Attention: the establishment does not accept children under 5 years old.

This bucolic campsite is located in the middle of the forest, 3 km from the centre of Aviemore. Lovers of wild camping will be served! Each site is different, adapted to the relief and the presence of trees. Amenities include toilets, showers and laundry facilities, and pitches for caravans and campers include electricity. The Rothiemurchus activity centre is a short distance away, making it a good base for all outdoor enthusiasts.

Surrounded by woods on the edge of Aviemore, this large hostel is fully equipped and has large spaces, with 85 beds in dormitories or private rooms (single, double, quadruple).
