Absolutely lovely facility and incredibly personalized service.
United States of AmericaWe loved everything. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed and had a very comfortable bed and an updated bath with a rain shower head in the shower and a heated towel rack. It also had a beautiful view overlooking the Dee River. The common rooms were gracious and comfortable and were the perfect place to enjoy a 12-year old scotch whiskey or sherry after dinner - generously provided on the house. The proprietress, Joyce, was a delight whose personal attention and warmth made our stay. Breakfasts were delicious and cooked to order - including a full range of options for vegetarians and people like me who are sensitive or allergic to gluten and/or dairy. The croissants were made by the local butcher and my husband thought they were the bests he had ever had. Joyce was also a great resource for local sights and activities. Take the time to walk in the gardens and along the river to the town center. The views are lovely and the peace is magical.
United States of AmericaThe hosts are very nice. The room was very comfortable. The view from our window was beautiful. This was a great location. Breakfast was amazing.
United States of AmericaBed was like sleeping on a cloud. Joyce was the sweetest lady. If I lived there, we would be great friends.
United States of AmericaThis was a premium stay. Joyce was the perfect hostess giving us tea and banana bread upon arrival, making us a dinner reservation and engaging us with warmth and friendly conversation. B&B was clean and comfortable and superbly decorated. Breakfast was delicious. A true gem and a must stay. Thanks Joyce!
CanadaHosts are very welcoming, location is perfect and the house itself very beautiful.
UkraineThe location was very nice and the views from the second floor room in the back were awesome. It overlooked the river and fields out back where I saw deer running the morning we awoke. It has a lovely garden to sit out in on nice days. There was a very nice area to have whiskey or port and visit with other guests. The rooms were so spacious. And one of the best breakfasts on our trip. The owners were so friendly and gracious, very comfortable to be around.
United States of AmericaThe hosts were very helpful & friendly. Beautiful property. Delicious breakfast & lots of nice additions (fresh gingerbread, dram of whiskey, viewing area to watch birds/animals) that I hadn't expected. Great location: easily accessible via walking or driving into the village but still tucked away & private. This place, along with the properties, are lovely. A gem of a place to stay!
United States of AmericaQuite simply, my stay was exceptional. There was not a single thing I could possibly fault. To say it's at the top of my places to return to would be an understatement.
United KingdomEverything! ! The house was gorgeous and the furnishings comfortable and attractive. We had a huge room overlooking the garden with a beautiful view of the river. Joyce and Gary were the perfect hosts. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious.

Host Info
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.
