There were welcome bottles of water, biscuits and individual bottles of wine.
The staff member who welcomed us was helpful.
As families grow in size, so too do the needs of a family holiday. That’s why family hotels are set up to cater for all ages, from toddlers and kids to teens and adults. Typically, you can expect restaurants with kids’ menus, games rooms, fitness centres and a pool area where children can play and parents can relax.
Pleasant family-run three star hotel in nicely refurbished old building. Nice bar and lounge; well- prepared evening meals and good breakfast. Conveniently close by car to both Ballater and Aboyne.
A warm welcome and happy to help with any queries. The dinner was excellent and breakfast also. Very clean and dog friendly. Will return. Booked for husband surprise birthday with other members of the family. A very relaxing stay.
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
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The evening meal was excellent. The location is lovely. Despite my comments on our dislikes we would definitely return to this quaint family ran hotel.
The hotel is like a family house, everything makes you feel comfortable and welcome. The restaurant, the bar as well as the rooms make one feel completely at home.
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
