    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.

    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!

    Great central location in Braemar. Lovely decor inside cottage with large spaces to relax in. The kitchen was huge and had an adjoining dining area. Showers were always hot and powerful. The garden was enclosed which would be good in the summer. Our beds were comfortable and the cottage was spotless. Great selection of books if you want to cosy up next to the fire.

    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.

    The cabin was spacious and comfortable, with all we needed for our stay. We spotted a red squirrel on the croquet lawn :). The bar in the lodge isnt available due to a fire but that isnt a problem, we were literally a couple of hundred yards from the center of 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.
