I loved the style, the location, the breakfast that had loads of non-dairy options, the restaurant that offered simple dishes like soup of the day, the food options, the drinks options, the staff, the owners that were lovely, and above all the fact that it’s right by a forest with beautiful walks.

We liked the house and everything, views were stunning, closeness to the nature, deers walking around surrounding forest, river.etc. We found hidden gems like Breamar Town with ski resort, Balmoral Castle our Queen Elisabeth favourite one where she used to loved hunting. Lovely, amazing Highlands in Scotland we never forget it and we definitely come back.

Very nice operator/owner who has done a great job of renovating this property to very high standards. The breakfast is fabulous. As this property is a little out of town one must have transportation, but it’s close to town so returning there for suppers etc is easy 😎

    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.
