Dinnet is lovely, very small village with stunning countryside. A lovely place to stay particularly in summer months and to explore by walking, cycling or driving.
It is very rural and use of a car advantageous to explore surrounding area, eating out etc.
Access to taxis is limited although believe there are buses. Not there long enough to explore further as there for an event.

Beautiful small village, quite and peaceful but with a hotel/bar if you need it. Within easy striking distance of shopping/restaurant facilities and close to all the natural beauty which surrounds.
The lodge we stayed in was lovely, clean, very well stocked with everything we needed. There was a great woodland walk behind our lodge the took us straight down to Loch Kinord, perfect for us and our two dogs. We had a very relaxing , enjoyable family break. The hotel is an easy drive to Braemar, Ballater, Aboyne and all the local activities. We will definitely visit again
The Lodge is in a beautiful location on the edge of woodland and a short distance from Loch Kinord. For up to 4 people, the Lodge is spacious, quiet, reasonably comfortable and adequately equipped. There is a good hot water system and heating. There are 4 electric car charging points in the car parking area.
Lodge was comfortable, in a very pleasant position on the edge of the woods and was very conveniently located for us as visitors to Deeside Gliding Club. Although the Lodge had no washing machine, the hotel provided a good washing service at reasonable cost. The shower in the Lodge was excellent.
Great location near Loch Kinrod, beautiful trails right from historic hotel. Most excellent dinner, comfortable fireplace/bar seating, exceptional owner host/hostess. Good mix of beautiful historic and new updated features. Lots to do for many days in outdoors.
The hotel has a very friendly atmosphere and our room was very comfortable and clean. The staff were always on hand and were relaxed and very welcoming. Dinner was delicious and we were hard pushed to eat an equally tasty breakfast the following mornings!
Beautiful area and the photos don't do the hotel justice. Beautiful porches/balconies, great location for Balmoral or outdoor recreation.
Breakfast was terrific and the staff was attentive to our every need.
Hope to come and stay here again soon!
Jenny & Andrew very welcoming to their hotel and obviously inspire the helpful and efficient approach of all their staff. Presentation of food excellent. Hotel location very good for Royal Deeside amenities. No problem with car parking.
Location is beautiful. Lodge is well equipped and reasonably comfortable. Few facilities in Dinnet bur within easy each of Aboyne and Ballater for shopping and eating. Great base for touring the area.
Amazing hotel
Warm welcome. Gorgeous room with garden balcony and everything you need
Spotless and super comfy
We ate in the restaurant and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the shin of beef
The owners and staff were very welcoming. The hotel was warm and comfortable. The food was excellent. We enjoyed having a balcony. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. A great place.
Quiet hotel half hour drive from Braemar and the Cairngorm mountains. Nothing flashy, looks like it was once a good small hotel but feels a it tired now.
