I had a lovely stay at the hotel, perfectly located in the charming village of Braemar. The rooms were warm and comfortable, with plenty of hot water available at all times. The staff did an amazing job handling the busy dining room, making sure everything ran smoothly, and the meals we had were very good. However, I did find that the evening menu was a bit limited. Overall, it offered great value for the price with some minor drawbacks.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, nestled in the lovely Braemar area. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, although the outside floodlight did make it a bit bright at night. The dining experience was enjoyable with beautiful meals, and the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions like Balmoral. Service was friendly, but it could have been slightly better organized at times. Overall, it's great value for money, especially given the facilities and amenities available.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was comfortable and warm with an enchanting four-poster bed. The location is fantastic, close to the village and serving as a great base for sightseeing. However, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of conditioners and the bright floodlight outside my window that disrupted my sleep. While dining was enjoyable with delicious meals and friendly service, I felt the overall value for money could have been better considering the price I paid.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have a great location in lovely Braemar, close to all the village amenities. The rooms were clean and well-furnished, but for the price I expected a bit more in terms of toiletries. The dining experience was quite enjoyable, although it was a small evening menu. Overall, it was a good stay, but there are minor improvements that could make it even better.

My stay at the hotel had some highlights and a few drawbacks. The location in Braemar is absolutely stunning, making it a gem of a village in Scotland! The rooms were spacious and very clean, but I found it hard to sleep well due to bright outside floodlights. The service was quite friendly, and I enjoyed the meals served during my stay. However, the dining menu was a bit small. Overall, it’s a lovely place but not without its quirks.
