Kid Friendly Hotels in Grantown-on-Spey

"Stayed 2 nights. Was better than expected in terms of the condition of the room/hotel. The room was also very clean. Swimming pool was fun for the little one. In this resort there are a number of Macdonalds hotels and we were happy with our choice as there was a direct link from the hotel to the leisure enter without leaving the building. The soft play is good too but the sitting area for parents could really benefit from a cafe, otherwise with couple of vending machines it looks rather sorry. The staff were ok but a lot less friendly than any of the other people we came across during our trip across Scotland. There are 4 Tesla superchargers at the back of the hotel but it’s often busy as there isn’t many chargers in the area and people come from outside the resort to use it. I didn’t have any issue early Sunday morning (and with charging a non Tesla). "

"Clean rooms, didn’t have breakfast or dinner so can’t comment. Didn’t find the staff there very friendly. Great location. "

"We were in Riverside apartment on the ground floor. Room was cold. Only 1 small radiator to heat the room. Had to move the kettle away from the tea/coffee station to boil it as was not near a plug or had to boil it on the floor near the station. Paintwork could be doing with a spruce up. Not handy having to go along the road to go to the restaurant when it’s cold and raining. "

"Lovely property, our room overlooked the golf course. "

"No"

"I stayed in a compact room. The room was cold, radiator wouldn't turn up. The door to the bathroom needs replaced, looked like it had been kicked in at some point. There ws "

"Going with kids, good. Going for any other reason I would look elsewhere. Went for a long weekend with family of 4. Check in process was annoying pestering emails to complete online check in when the hotel had my details via hotel.com booking. When I arrived i couldn’t even use the ‘express online check in’ and had to queue. For dinner we had to wait 15m then another 15m just to place an order at the wood shed bar. We decided to go to main bar than chance being asked to wait for a 3rd time. Ordered food at the bar (venison burger) and didn’t realise the table next to us had order the same and left more than half the meal. I’m not fussy but I couldn’t even eat half. We never ate in the hotel again, during the stay. Lots of good local option that is a short walk or drive. Positive the drinks were well priced and quality of beer and wine was really good. Along with the price of the room and location for time of year. Amenities for families are really good. The kids had fun with the disco, arcade, swimming, softplay and golf. A little disappointing there is an extra charge for the golf and softplay for guests. There are other hotels in Scotland we have been too with softplay who don’t charge. If we were coming back to the region with family, all things considered we would stay again. "

"We will be contacting the hotel directly. Starting with the positives, the location is excellent - step out the door and you are directly in the city centre. I simply cannot comment on the staff - we only met them at check-in. They were not particularly friendly, very much “do it yourself” type of attitude. They weren’t rude by any stretch, but there wasn’t a sense of willingness to help. The building is very old and outdated, which could add to the charm but when you have bobbling carpets, sloping floors and peeling/ stained photographs, you see that no effort has been made to tap into this. Now we come to the cleanliness of the property. Worst I’ve ever seen. I’m only glad that we didn’t bring our children here as my daughter has a dust allergy. From the fire place in the foyer to the desk in the room, to the ridges in the bathroom - there was thick dust! It was disgusting. Some of the towels had stains which is unnecessary! On the first night, someone had clearly been eating a Sandwick in the foyer and had left crumbs on the desk. Those remained there until we checked out at 11pm on two days later. There was a general lack of attention to detail of the most basic forms across the board. When we checked out, there was no member of staff to be seen. The bed was comfy enough and the bedding clean, but that’s where it ended. I can safely say that we will not be staying in this property again but hope management take the feedback on board for future guests."

"Well appointed quiet rooms. Bar/Lounge areas very comfortable. Great location for all city centre and riverside activities"
