We had an absolutely incredible stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking view—it was truly the highlight of our trip. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, offering warm and welcoming service throughout our stay. The thoughtful little touches really made the experience unforgettable, such as the adorable dog bed and bowl for our furry friend, and the romantic swan-shaped towels with rose petals scattered across the bed to celebrate our honeymoon. Every detail was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable getaway. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for an exceptional and personalized experience!

I have stayed at Braemar before and it was excellent. It is now quite dated and small things are wrong. No matching wine glasses, TV not mounted properly, flickering lights. The restaurant was previously fantastic, now a shadow of its former self. Quite sad.

We had a fantastic stay at Braemar Lodge! The rooms were absolutely stunning — spacious, beautifully decorated, and luxurious. The bed was enormous and incredibly comfortable, making it hard to leave in the morning! One of the highlights was the toasty fireplace, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The bathroom was something special — huge, with a spa bath and a lovely view to enjoy while soaking. Such a treat! The lodge also has a fabulous spa that added an extra layer of indulgence to our stay. The only downside was the check-in experience. There was no staff at the front desk when we arrived, so we had to self-check-in, find our room, and take our own bags. It felt a bit impersonal for such a luxurious lodge, but thankfully, the room and overall experience made up for it. If they improve the front desk service, it would be flawless. Overall, a stunning place to unwind and indulge!
