The property is a beautifully presented country lodge, with wonderful rich furnishings and decor reflecting its history as a grand hunting lodge, but modern and fresh at the same time. There are a number of rooms to relax in, each with its own theme and sumptuous decor and a very cool bar area with a fine selection of whiskies. And there was a beautiful kitchen with honesty bar and complimentary tea/coffee. The bedroom was spacious and elegant and thanks to the extensive grounds around the property, was free from external noise and peaceful to sleep in. The manager (Donald?) and staff were very warm and welcoming and super helpful throughout our stay. We were unsure what to expect and were very much surprised to the upside!

We received a very warm welcome from the hotel owners, who were extremely friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We also had dinner at the hotel and really enjoyed it — and the beer was excellent! Breakfast was very tasty, with a lovely traditional Scottish selection. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a charming, more traditional style that suited the character of the hotel perfectly. Free parking was a great bonus. Overall, considering the price, we thought it was excellent value for money and would happily recommend staying here.

The property was beautiful, in a perfect spot to base yourself if hiking into the hills nearby! Room was clean and comfortable, perfect for our two night stay. Pub connected to the hotel was so cosy, great food and great atmosphere. Me and my partner are both vegan, and the staff were very accommodating and made sure we hade breakfast options! Was a lovely stay, will definitely be returning.

It was a central location for travelling around , really liked Braemar but we always came back to eat at the Alexandra Hotel - straight in front of you as you came into Ballater from Crannoch House. There was good food and staff always ready to accomodate.... very reasonable price also.

Great town with beautiful buildings and such an interesting history. Museum was fabulous considering its run by volunteers. Shops are independent and lots of curios. Book shop is a gem and a must go to as are the ‘art studios’. Loads of choices for eating out from cafés to evening restaurants or carry out fish and chips. Brilliant bakery just out of TC in light industrial park. Great that there’s public toilets, only 50p and tap to enter! Town is on the River Spey and there’s loads of walks along the river or through the forests. Close to nature reserves at Loch Garten with fabulous two loch walk. Good centre to explore the area. Wish I’d had longer😁

Very friendly locals and the Wildcat Trail was a great way to start our visit. Some restrictions east of the town because of wild fires but still the whole of the beautiful Monadhlaith Mountains to explore. Plenty of places to eat but standout was the Laggan Hotel where the food was great and the staff brilliant.

We were attending a Piping Competition at Blair Castle as spectators and Blair Atholl we felt was the best location for our needs.. Everything we needed was there. We ate at the Atholl Arms Hotel. Blair Atholl is a very picturesque part of Scotland, particularly at this time. A visit to the Queen's View is a short journey away and is well worth the effort. Very nice coffee shop there and the view is tremendous. The autumn colours were spectactular.

There are a few routes to walk to Kincraig, using the cycle/walking route. The Old Post Office Cafe Gallery sells absolutely wonderful food - I can highly recommend the soup with a cheese scone. Just make sure you look at the opening times as it's not open every day. The only downside is that there's nowhere to buy general provisions in Kincraig, for this you need to head into Kingussie, which is an 8 minute drive away as the cycle/walking path unfortunately doesn't go that far
