The general ambience and atmosphere. The food was good and the bar had a good choice of beers. The person who checked me in was helpful in that he locked my bike securely in the cellar.

Dalmunzie Castle Hotel, hotel in Braemar

Dating back to 1510, Dalmunzie Castle Hotel lies in the south of the Cairngorms National Park.

The location and ambience of the establishment made it feel like a weekend away in an Agatha Christie novel—without any of the murder mystery (thankfully.) I wish I could have stayed longer, and wish I'd brought my dog! Tremendously welcoming staff, a warm and cozy castle, an idyllic country estate...one of my favorite places I've stayed in Scotland.

The Auld Kirk, hotel in Braemar

This former church has been tastefully converted, enabling retention of the original features. Auld Kirk Hotel is located in the heart of picturesque Royal Deeside.

A wonderful and cozy place to stay in Balleter. The host was friendly and briefed us on the do's n don't while staying there. The room was neat and clean. We appreciated very much the welcome pack of cookies and the taste of local whiskey. Breakfast was fantastic and cooked as requested from the menu. A good variety! Checking in and out was easy at the reception. A close walk to the town center.

    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

    I loved the location and the view. Sarah gave us a very warm welcome and a flask of fresh milk for our tea and coffee, she also had freshly baked chocolate brownies for us in our room. No evening meal so we went out to the Braemar lodge hotel and ate like kings. Had a great nights sleep and a fantastic breakfast with a view of the hills. This is a place we would come back to.

    Cranford Guest House is perfectly placed to explore the local area, including within a very short walk into Braemar for food/shops. Sarah and Al were incredibly welcoming hosts. The bedroom, breakfasts, parking, facilities and local info were all provided to a really high standard. We'll definitely be back!

    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.

    Location was superb - right in the middle of Braemar and all its amenities. We didn't have to get in the car again for 2 days as there were so many wonderful places to explore on foot and on 2 wheels. Stunning scenery and so much history.

    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.
