Ex Braemar Lodge Hotel

While the old hotel building is now gone, the wooden cabins offer excellent accommodation, moments away from restaurants, shops, pubs and walking routes. There is free parking, outdoor seating and easy contact with the hotel owners, Malcolm was lovely and really helpful. The lodges were cozy and well equipped, with everything you need to cook up a meal. We bought some bits from the local butcher, which was fantastic. The lodge was comfortable and came with plenty of towels and blankets. The heaters really warmed up the spaces quickly in the evening. All round excellent accommodation, we’ll definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic two-night stay here in early December 2021. The room was very nicely set up and the orthopedic beds were very comfortable. There was also two different types of pillow so you could choose the one that suited you in order to get a good night's sleep. The food in the restaurant was spectacular as the chef recently won Chef of The Year; ingredients were the best available and sourced locally. Meals were very reasonably priced. We look forward to staying there again soon.

I have to say, we turned up unannounced and could not have been more welcomed by Malcolm. He found us a chalet with 3 bedrooms for the night here and it was marvellous. Clean, cosy, yet spacious, with warm comforable beds. Games out the front and all the facilities. Could bot ask for anything more. Thank you. We loved it. From Australia, and Manchester. We shall spread the word. X

We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights in this beautiful old building, with lovely furniture and very Scottish decor. The service was welcoming and very good. The breakfast and dinner was tasty and the hotel is also within easy walking distance from the town centre, with many restaurants. I loved the four-poster bed, which was really comfortable. The room was beautiful and the bathroom, though small, was sufficently spacious to move around easily. We shall stay here again if we travel this way.

We have 3 bedroom lodge for 7 nights and we have been eating a few evenings and drinking lots of fantastic whiskies in the Hotel every night. The ambience of the low lighting with candle lights makes it so relaxing next to the log burner. The week is not over yet (more to come) but the food is fantastic the whisky selection is mind-blowing and the hospitality of everyone is so nice. I have to say I haven't stayed in such a welcoming place for such a long time. Malcolm is an absolute legendary guy and Charly cannot do enough for you. Anyone coming to Braemar should really stay, eat and drink here.

Loved my stay in the Braemar Lodge Hotel. Perfect location for exploring this wonderful area. Hotel was comfortable, warm, quiet, relaxing. Traditional decor - but I like this in a Highland hotel. Room was perfect, had all that is needed - nice hot radiators to dry off wet clothes! Food good. Best thing about the stay was the staff - especially Helen and Danielle - super friendly, warm and helpful, made me feel like a long-lost son they were that hospitable! Already looking to return for another stay.

The lodges are a complete house if you want to stay in Braemar, they are furnished in a very old style of furniture and a more modern, smaller set of furniture would have made the place more practical. There was no good space to place ours suitcases with clothes in the bedroom. The two smaller lodges (which we had one of) was tucked away in a corner of the terrain and therefore only receiving very limited sun. But the grass field in the middle of the lodges was there to enjoy the beautiful weather.

What a lovely area to have this Hotel with its relaxing comfortable Lodges. We stayed in one their Lodges for 4 nights and it was much better than i had expected. It has a bar and restaurant, where all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The meals we had were delivered quickly, nicely presented and very tasty. For a hotel and the area, i thought the prices in the restaurant were reasonable. Plenty of on site free parking and just a 5min walk into Braemar. With mountains, rivers and woodlands all around, there is plenty to see.
