In the rustic village of Dinnet in the heart of Royal Deeside, this family-run hotel is ideal for exploring the Highlands and tourist and sporting activities in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.



On the edge of the Scottish Highlands, this Victorian hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the natural beauty of Scotland. There are many activities close by, including golf, skiing, fishing and stalking. Glenshee and the Lecht, 2 of the 5 Scottish ski resorts, are both approximately 30 miles from the hotel, with the necessary instruction and ski equipment available for hire.

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!

Lovely, amazing Highlands in Scotland we never forget it and we definitely come back.

The owner was responsive and kind, especially when a piece of lost luggage was delivered after our stay. She was helpful in coordinating getting the item back to us! The house also had a clothes dryer which we really enjoyed!

    Beautiful large property but had to phone owner for access no one at reception. No beer on tap was all switched off, no restaurant food for afternoon and evening, terrible service, bar lady was really nice , but no service for bar or food as if they were cutting back on staff and services, No kettle in room or tea, coffee or biscuits, £105 for single bed in small room with no service whatsoever. Would actually prefer a refund, had to phone for access to hotel and bar service. Definitely wouldn’t recommend

    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

    A great base for the family to explore Deeside, with Ballater and Aboyne just short drives away. A very comfortable cottage that is designed to a high standard with very good facilities and space to relax. Appreciated the extra touches, such as the welcome pack. Driveway parking very helpful.
