    Wonderful 3 days. Stunning scenery, fantastic accommodation. Peace and quiet. Fabulous place for walking especially Glen Tar Estate near the Ballroom. Excellent pub The Boat for meals and get togethers with friendly attentive staff. We had a car but did notice using the local bus service

    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

    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.

    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!

    This is a delightful bed and breakfast - a beautiful house in gardens with a view of the river, in a quiet enclave in Aboyne. Freshly cooked breakfasts had everything you could think of, with full breakfast and lighter options. Our room overlooked the river and had a balcony you could sit out on to admire the view. Nothing was too much trouble.

    The boat inn is a beautiful characterful property in an even more beautiful location. The staff were friendly and the breakfast, which was cooked to order was delicious. For people looking to explore the local area, it is ideal as there is loads of lovely walks only a stones throw away and Glen Tanar is just a short drive by car.

    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.
