Everything was great. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Claudia was very kind and she left in the house some snacks for us. Parking is possible on the street in front of the house. Dog friendly acommodation.
You can glimpse majestic ospreys plunging into the loch, relax in the sumptuous spa, or take on two 9-hole golf courses amidst idyllic scenery at The Lodge.

Beautiful large property but had to phone owner for access no one at reception. No beer on tap was all switched off, no restaurant food for afternoon and evening, terrible service, bar lady was really nice , but no service for bar or food as if they were cutting back on staff and services,
No kettle in room or tea, coffee or biscuits, £105 for single bed in small room with no service whatsoever.
Would actually prefer a refund, had to phone for access to hotel and bar service. Definitely wouldn’t recommend

Aboyne is a delightful large village set amongst beautiful scenery. It seems to have a real community feel about it and the public spaces are clean and well cared for. We preferred it to the very touristy Ballater down the road and would stay here again.

We didn't stop in the town of Aboyne itself, but if (or rather, when!) we go back, we will do so, as it looked very pleasant as we drove through. The scenery in the area is beautiful, and we enjoyed our drives around the area. There are plenty of placed of interest to visit and a super-abundance of castles. We greatly enjoyed our day at Castle Fraser.

Beautiful scenery and walks; river setting; lovely local friendly cafes; lots to return for. Very quiet and peaceful and everyone we met so friendly. Balmoral is just gorgeous and Ballater a nice town to explore.

Beautiful place with great access to river and woodland walks. Quaint feel.
A few solid local establishments to eat and drink, including the Boat Inn which has a great atmosphere and food/bar.
A little scarce on eateries open later, particularly on weeknights. Most places closed by 8pm, although would highly recommend Nurtaj, the local Indian restaurant! Beautiful inside, lovely staff, amazing food.
Aboyne was also a good base for accessing other places, with excellent road links out towards Inverness, Aberdeen, the Moray coast, and more.
Not touristy in the best way.
Beautiful place.

Lovely little town to visit, very quiet and peaceful with interesting buildings. Highly recommended if you're visiting the Cairngorms, Aberdeen or anywhere nearby. The Boat Inn is an amazing place to stay as well as for a meal or drinks with lovely indoor and outdoor spaces. Nice little play park for kids and fields for dogs to run around in too.
I 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.
A group of us stayed at this beautiful property set in a stunning location just a short walk from Aboyne local shops pubs and restaurants.
The entire house was spotless, each bedroom sizeable as befits a house of this era with all individually and tastefully decorated.
It was perfect for our larger group and would also be great for family get togethers with its large, comfortable and superb very well equipped communal areas
Fantastic hotel, beautiful location, great place to come to get away from it all. Derek and Jean were the perfect hosts and could not do enough for you, always smiling and nothing was to much trouble. We also had the Spa break which was absolutely fantastic and highly recommend it, so relaxing and tranquil. We loved our 2 night stay and we will definitely be back. Many thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.
Really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge! Owners were very welcoming and gave suggestions on local things to do. The scenary is beautiful and the location was great for visiting Ballater, Balmoral, Crathes Castle, etc. We had breakfast and dinner at the Lodge and both were wonderful. Loved exploring the region and this was a great base to do that from. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Our whole experience staying in Lys-Na-Greyne was excellent. Our hosts were very welcoming. The property was absolutely beautiful, very clean, with a lovely dining room, sitting room and outside seating area, which we had full use off during our stay, The property had lovely view of the hills, the river and the surrounding area. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to all travellers.
the facility was obviously modernized well but held the charm of an older establishment very well. the rooms were very well decorated food and meal service was really great. It was hot while we were there so no AC was noticeable but we did not have AC anywhere in our visit to Scotland so I can hardly fault them there. This was easily our favorite property of the trip!
Fiona and Peter were so accommodating to all our needs and responded quickly to all of our inquiries. The property is absolutely beautiful and the most relaxing spot with easy commute to Aberdeen by car. The perfect weekend that we needed!
Joyce 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.
Lovely studio, very clean and spacious. Short walk into Aboyne which is gorgeous, we ate at the Boat Inn which is definately worth a visit. Great place to stay for visiting Royal Deeside, we would stay again.
The quaintness of the setting and the lodge gave a great sense of wilderness matching the location. Brilliant base for exploring surrounding areas, or a peaceful gate away to switch off for a couple of days.
Gorgeous, elegantly decorated, and in a wonderful location on the Dee River. There are lot’s of things to see and do in this part of Scotland.
Thank you Joyce & Garry.
The location is absolutely outstanding if you want a break from the world. Close to both Aboyne and Ballater we thought this was an ideal location for our stay.
