EDGAR • Couple Trip

Beautiful, classic room with poster bed in an ancient but well-maintained building, giving a full Scottish feel. The hotel is close to Loch Kinord natural reserve, which provides picturesque and serene walks.

The lodge was very spacious, the rooms were clean, had everything you needed including a cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. All you need for a home away from home. Next time we will probably bring our own food stay a little longer and have a good look around the area.

We booked a room on the spur of the moment as it was too late in the day to travel south. Craig, The Manager, made us very welcome and was extremely helpful, professional and efficient, he is a great asset for the business. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is a great base for walking in the northern Cairngorms. Its also only a few miles to either Aboyne or Ballater which has bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc etc

We were treated like royalty. Such a class act establishment. Every question we had, they had an answer and a kind response. They gave directions and suggestions and made our time in Cairngorm so special. The food was delicious. The breakfast was out of this world. We don’t have anything bad to say and we have run out of superlatives to describe our stay.

A true taste of Scottish hospitality from a pleasant owner and staff. Food was lovely, room tastefully decorated in tartan, with a terrace that caught the afternoon sun.

Mathilda • Family Trip

This is an excellent place! The second time in a year I've stayed here (once in June, once in December) and it was just as good both times. Charming place, very well located for Cairngorms national park or Balmoral. The owners and staff are truly helpful and kind. I will most likely stay here again when I'm on my way back. Clean rooms, great beds, beautiful sitting room.

This is a charming family run hotel nestled in a gorgeous part of the Scottish Cairngorms. It has a lot of tasteful and updated Scottish charm. The owners and staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. They also have a lovely and charming restaurant that serves gourmet good and is reasonably priced. After a long day of driving, this was a welcome find. I would go back to the Loch Kinord Hotel and recommend it to anyone traveling through this amazingly beautiful region of Scotland.
