"We have stayed at Craigendarroch several times before, always in one of the lodges. This time we chose a Junior Suite in the hotel.
Everything was even better than expected. Lovely accommodation, friendly staff and great facilities.
We will definitely return."
"Great location for hiking or passing thought the National Park. Nice big property with 2 living rooms for chilling, a fully equipped kitchen and a big dining room. Showers and toilets are shared with all other rooms on your floor. Also towels have to be rented - £5 for two, this was an unusual encounter for us. Owner who showed us around was lovely. "
"Nothing but positive things to say about Sweet Donside Cabins. Cabins and facilities were spotlessly clean, TV beds very spacious and comfortable, with the attention to detail excellent. Hot tubs were clean and well maintained. Lots of extra touches including a welcome basket."
"What is there not to like when staying in such an iconic building, with excellent facilities, nice staff and an extraordinary view!
Beware: the cooked breakfast is heavy stuff and perhaps for 2 to share 😀"

Balmoral Arms
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely staff. VERY welcoming and friendly. Helpful with lots of good advice. Wonderful location. Close to shops and dining options. Did not eat at the hotel as we had been referred to a "locals" restaurant. To be honest, the "cozy" double room was a bit small. Felt a bit claustrophobic. But it was a nice space. Bed was relatively comfortable. Parking was on the street and not too far from the hotel. You had to look for it. We found a spot about 25 yards down the road. There is also parking available in a car park nearby. Streets were quiet and safe. No worries there. For a one night stay allowing us to take a more leisurely drive over two days through the Cairngorms National Park, this was a great place to be."
Fabulous house with sun-doors and patio - Large mature garden. Mountain views.
8/10 Good
"A lovely house with lots of space for 7 adults and a teenager. Good facilities for dining and a great space for leaving wet/muddy gear inside the back door, along with a handy utility room. Beautiful, large garden with great views. Good walks from the door, including 10mins down to the river which has good swimming spots. Quiet location but only 5mins walk into Braemar which is a lovely town with great eating places, especially recommend The Bothy and Farquarsons for food."
