United States of AmericaI don’t often write reviews, however we found Lys-Na-Greene so exceptional that it wouldn’t be right not to write one in this instance. Extremely comfortable, spacious, and well furnished en-suite bedroom and common area, and excellent hospitality including breakfast provided by owners Joyce and Garry. Beautiful setting and grounds. While more expensive than what we typically pay for B&B type accommodation, it was well worth the difference. We hope to return.

United KingdomJoyce and Garry are wonderful hosts. We felt at home in their lovely B&B and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Their excellent knowledge of the surrounding area including hikes was great! Breakfast is a great treat to start the day.

NetherlandsOur large, elegant, tranquil room had a beautiful view. The home, overall, has been very tastefully restored and our hosts provided picnic blankets and baskets should we have needed them. We enjoyed an amazing, full Scottish breakfast with homemade preserves. Presentation was perfect and our host, Joyce, provided us with samples of local traditions like "Balmoral Bread" and "Buttery". Joyce was very knowledgeable and helpful in recommending appropriate hikes in the area and seemed genuinely interested in us and our travels.

- Hi Are you allowed to fish on the riverWe do not have any rights to fish on the river as the various estates own the river bank. You can however fish the river by booking directly through Fishpal (apologies, can’t give the web address but a simple google will find it). Hope this helpsAnswered on September 22, 2022
- Does this guest house offer separate tables for breakfast?Yes, the photos show communal tables but we now have individual table too.Answered on February 7, 2021
- Hi, all the rooms I’m looking at are non refundable. What happens if it is cancelled through tighter restrictions with Covid? Will I lose the booking?Strange times we know! Your booking is fully refundable if cancelled with more than 7 days notice. However if the cancellation is due to a change in Covid restrictions no charge will be made. Regards, JoyceAnswered on November 12, 2020
- Is a hot breakfast offered ?Yes, a cold buffet and a hot breakfast are both freshly prepared to order and served to your table.Answered on June 14, 2021
- Can dogs stayI'm afraid that we do not allow dogs into the house (unless they are guide dogs). Often guests have left their dogs in their car over night but that obviously depends on your preference.Answered on June 18, 2021

Host Review Score
Lys-Na-Greyne is an Edwardian granite house discretely nestled in the tranquil wooded conservation area at the west end of Aboyne. Sitting on the north bank of the River Dee, its westerly outlook provides stunning views up the Dee valley.
Set in over three acres of mature gardens, Lys-Na-Greyne offers visitors luxury bed and breakfast accommodation in peaceful and idyllic surroundings in the heart of Royal Deeside
With so many great things to do locally out of doors, we love to get out to the hills for a walk or a cycle or skiing in the winter when the weather allows.
The attractive Royal Deeside village of Aboyne is a little gem in the heart of Deeside and a haven for tourists the whole year round.
The Great Outdoors are quite literally on the door step. Numerous walks and wild life abounds in both the local woodlands and estates as well as in the natural Scots pine woodlands of the Cairngorm National Park.
For the hill walking enthusiast there are numerous Munros in the Cairngorm mountains, not least of all Mount Keen which is both visible and accessible from the house. Many smaller peaks are also within easy reach of the house.
There are various Deeside Golf courses including Aboyne, Banchory, Ballater & Braemar.
Extensive mountain biking, salmon fishing and shooting are also available locally and with storage facilities at Lys-Na-Greyne, equipment can easily be accommodated.
The local Highland Games run throughout the summer starting with the Aboyne Games on the first Saturday in August and conclude in September with the Braemar Gathering attended annually by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal family.
In the winter snowsports are available at Glenshee and The Lecht, both only a short drive away.
