Balmoral Arms ★★★★★

"Balmoral Arms offered a pleasant stay. Parking options included available street spaces or a free public carpark located just a two-minute walk away. Note that guests must carry luggage up the stairs, as there is no elevator, but the overall experience remained comfortable and enjoyable."

Cambus O' May Traditional Highland Hotel ★★★

"Great location, just a short walk from the Cambus O'May footbridge over the Dee, and the Deeside Way trail on the old railway. I arrived late and had just a good cheese board and a fine pint of Belhaven Best. I had a lovely, cozy single room (although having to enter a code rather than use a key was a bit strange) with a good view, comfy bed and a wonderful rain shower (once I worked out how the taps worked!) Breakfast was continental, with a wide choice of breads, cereals, juices and some fresh fruit. There was a coffee machine that worked very well. ...and a red squirrel jumped across the gravel outside the window while I ate!"

Invercauld Lodges ★★★★

"Booked 2 lodges for 4 couples over New Year. Absolutely perfect for us. Very cosy - even in sub zero temperatures and the setting in the pine trees with red squirrels and pheasants flitting about made it even better. Well equipped kitchen and cosy beds. Plenty space to congregate and eat. Easy walk into the village for shops and restaurants."
