"Great stay, quiet time of year but the hostel was very comfortable, clean, friendly, and relaxed. I had a private double room which was perfect for travelling with a pet. Kitchen access was really handy as Braemar and the surrounding area doesn't have much in the way of options for eating during the week in the off season."

"On accommodation alone, 5 stars. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Restaurant was good but just that. Service excellent but food unexceptional. Okay but I've had better. A lot of it felt bought in rather than developed and cooked on site."

31 Mar - 1 Apr

"Staff were friendly and helpful, location handy and beautiful, with red squirrels nearby and nesting house martins. My only suggestion would be that - as we should be reducing meat and dairy consumption for environmental reasons - vegetarian breakfast should be the norm."

30 Mar - 31 Mar

"The hotel is located within some outstanding scenery with Loch Alvie literally on your doorstep. We were all made to feel welcome, including Dizzy the dog , and the chefs produced some delicious food as we sat near a blazing log fire. Room and bathroom were very clean and well appointed. The only grumble we would have is that we were charged for our dog's stay on a nightly basis, to cover additional cleaning, as opposed to per visit, you would only clean the room once even after 2 nights stay."

"Had a lovely 2 night stay in the Cairngorm Suite with my husband and 2 kids (5years & 4 months old). Firstly the location was perfect and in walking distance to countless pubs, restaurants, shops etc. The room itself was beautiful and the bedroom especially was incredibly spacious. The beds were really comfortable and the bedding/duvets etc all felt really good quality. Bathroom was spotless, the shower wasnt very powerful but thats being pernickety. Plenty of storage space throughout the suite...

5/5 Excellent

Great Hospitality

"From the minute we arrived the staff could not been more helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, and they made you feel so relaxed. Found the atmosphere very homely and felt right at home from arrival until departure. The meals we had were excellent and everything was definitely value for money. Have already booked to go back for Hogmanay and this is the only place we will stay in the future. I cannot recommend the Ben Mhor highly enough."
