Very friendly owners who went out of their way to make sure everything was right. Excellent location and beautiful room. We'll certainly stay there in the future if we revisit the area.

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 staff and service was exceptional - nothing was too much trouble.
The location of the hotel is beautiful. We had a fab walk around the loch which is stunning at this time of year. When we had no other option but to get our feet really wet by going through a deep puddle (we visited just after Storm Babet) the lovely women on reception took our boots to their drying room which was much appreciated!
Everything! The cottage is really nice, loved the fireplace on chilly evenings. Kitchen has all the equipment that we needed. Yvonne was always approachable and very helpful. The area is rather quiet and a bit off from the main touristic places which we liked. Dinnet is a great spot to start gorgeous tours through the national park which is stunningly beautiful- we totally fell in love with it.
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.
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.
