“Macdonald Spey Valley Resort strikes me as a place thoughtfully designed for families exploring the Cairngorms; self-catering apartments and chalets, some dog-friendly, create a relaxed base for outdoor adventures. Beyond the draw of the national park, the resort has its own attractions, including an award-winning golf course and a swimming pool, sauna, and gym, making it a balanced option for active guests.”
