Loved the fact that this is a different style of accommodation. Was a great experience. The bed was super comfy. Having a pot belly stove in the unit was fantastic as it was a wet, cold night.

Lovely village with interesting shops,. We enjoyed an excellent dinner at Farquharsons which we rated as the best meaL of our holiday and there was a good lively atmosphere in the bar/restaurant, with friendly staff. Easy access to countryside rides.

Braemar is in Royal Deeside.
Braemar is in Royal Deeside. It is a small, picturesque village loved by walkers and tourists alike. Rightly proud of its history and royal connections.. it has lots to offer. It is the gateway to the Cairngorms, quaint local gift shops and lovely restaurants and bars. You can choose then to take the scenic route over the hills to Perth via Glenshee ( take a tour of the local gin distillery at Persie ) or take the coast road via Ballater, Aboyne and Banchory to the city of Aberdeen. We certainly enjoyed our visit and plan to return next year.

Clean, friendly with plenty of eateries and pubs.
Clean, friendly with plenty of eateries and pubs.
Best food and pub for me was Moorfield House Hotel. A little tucked away but worth the effort.
Loads of walking from local strolls to mammoth Munro hikes.
The countryside and wildlife is fantastic.

Hostel squirrels and cleanliness were great.
Hostel squirrels and cleanliness were great. Fife Arms is amazing to go to for food or drinks. I rode my horse in the Mar Estate which was fabulous. The Braemar Gallery is great and have a concert in house once a month. Everything in walking distance from the hostel
Slight lack of atmosphere in the evening in the hostel
A stunning, spacious, beautifully-equipped and spotlessly clean cottage, located right at the heart of Braemar, with easy access to local facilities as well as scenic walks. The host (Gail) was brilliantly responsive, providing clear and timely advice on how to find and access the property. And the folders with information for visitors were really helpful. Complementary tea, coffee, biscuits and milk were very welcome, as was the fact that the wood burner had already been set up ready for us to light. We are already planning our next visit!
It was a lovely cottage with full of character and personal touches. Jennifer was a very kind and attentive host who made sure we were comfortable and felt at home. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit being prepared every morning and a choice of three breakfasts. We enjoyed spending time in the living room where there were plenty of games and books were provided by our host. The property itself is walking distance to pubs, restaurants and cafes in the village. We've had a fantastic time and would love to return.
Loved the lodge, everything we needed for our stay. Spacious and comfortable, the pics on booking.com don't do it justice! Perfect location for skiing at Glenshee. Braemar is a cute little town within a couple of minutes with a variety of stores. Hosts really helpful if we had any questions.
The location was ideal, just on the outstirts of Braemar, very quiet but easy walking distance of town centre.
The facilities were good, comfortable and very clean.
The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had, perfect for the morning after watching England beat Germany.
Sarah and Al are the warmest of hosts, nothing is a bother, you genuinely feel they’re pleased to see you! Always happy to advise on local activities, places to eat and if they can help make your stay in Braemar awesome they will!
friendly welcoming host, catered to my fiancé and myself very well. surroundings were clean and tidy. location was walking distance to nearby walks and the town centre. will definitely stay again when we next travel to Braemar
Sadly 24 hours after we left, this lovey hotel burned to the ground.
Further comments would be pointless.
Best wishes and good luck to the owner Malcom and his family.
