Had a short break here with my husband and 21 yr old son. Booked directly with macdonald resorts so that I could ensure we stayed in a refurbished apartment as I had reservations after reading some reviews. Got a lovely Cosy lodge nearby reception , pool and restaurant. The staff could not have been more polite and friendly. Food in... More

My family have owned here for 30 years and have seen the whole site grow from a load of wooden chalets with a few brick lodges, to many more properties and a full sports & leisure centre with dining facilities - plus the village centre being torn down, rebuilt & much improved on what used to be there. However the... More

We stayed in Patio 6 for a week as part of a free week's holiday incentive through Macdonald Hotels.Although the accommodation was not a refurbished Patio it nevertheless was clean and was more than adequate for our needs.We did have a look at some of the refurbished properties on site and they look fantastic. Aviemore is a great base for... More

Timeshare exchange was of same standard (5 star) relinquished by us. Had the most comfortable bedding. Patio apartment appears to have been recently refurbished. Fully equipped kitchen. Beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately whilst sleeping someone entered our unit and took all belongings left in the kitchen (money, credit cards, cameras, etc) and also the hired car parked outside. Management and staff were... More

The last time I stayed in one of these was about 10 years ago and it was lovely, but it has obviously not been touched since then, a serious amount of money needs to be spent upgrading here, the lodges, the roads and playpark for a start. The furniture... More

Last week we visited the Scottish Steak Club twice and were blown away by the quality and value. The place has been recently done up and is far more airy and... More

This is my wifes timeshare since it was built and her cup of tea but not mine. I go up very occasionally. Since my last visit eight years ago, a lot of work has gone into the main facility, including the reception, bar, restaurant and swimming pool and its a big improvement and now more up market. The patio however... More

We spent a week at Macdonald Dalfaber Golf and Country Club, 9-16 April 2011. The Trip Advisor reviews had made us apprehensive beforehand. In the event, we were very pleasantly surprised. The chalet was comfortable, clean, adequately fitted out and with a lovely conservatory. it would have been small for more than 4 people, but otherwise is fine. We enjoyed... More

We stayed in Chalet 23 for the week 9 -16 April 2011 and having read recent adverse reviews on here, were very apprehensive especially as we are owners at MacDonald Plas Talgarth and had made an internal exchange. We were very pleasantly surprised. Our chalet had been “refurbished” although how recently we don’t know. But it was spotlessly clean with... More
