    Fab food, excellent service and incredibly beautiful view of the mountains. Newly decorated unit with a nice decor. Good old hotel in a wonderful setting unable to shower before dinner after a sweaty hike. The lounge restaurant for breakfast.

    We ate in the excellant restaurant for dinner and breakfast which was reasonably priced. The location was particularly good and beautiful - within walking distance of golf courses and restaurants. You could walk to a supermarket and shops.

    As for me, the location was marvellous, very close to the restaurant during breakfast service, centre of town, and a lovely local bistro-Orka. There was a lounge restaurant nearby.

    Well, the views were awful here.

    Homely place for one night, I can recommend. The property is fairly clean with a nice design, and the continental breakfast is excellent. The hotel has a very central location unable to shower before dinner after a sweaty hike. The main bar offers complementary drinks.

    Homely hotel with nice views of the mountains, superb base for one night. Perfectly pleasant and consistently courteous staff, wake up calls and ironing free of charge. Sensational continental breakfast — fab selection. Welcoming service and marvellous location adjacent to Balmoral and Braemar castles. A good choice of food options just a short stroll away from the venue. Very relaxing stay, as always.
