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.
The property is well located just off the Deeside way and very close to Aboyne’s amenities. Everyone was incredibly friendly and generous - I was cycling the Deeside Way and the owners stored my bike in the garage overnight and helped me with my bags. Breakfast was beautiful and the room was lovely, clean and very spacious. There’s a separate living room for guests as well which is where I was offered a cup of tea and some homemade cakes - a welcome relief after cycling all day in Winter! Would definitely recommend!
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.
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.
This is a lovely spacious property in a great location with all the facilities needed for an enjoyable break with a medium sized party. Our dog was accommodated with no fuss and a small extra charge. Easy walk to all Aboyne facilities and good location to explore Deeside. Large combined lounge and dining area with wood burning stove great for winter evenings. Lovely large modern kitchen.
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!
We had a great stay in the Lys-Na-Greyne and wish it could have been longer. The hosts Joyce and Garry were excellent, with nothing too much, and the accommodation was spotless. The breakfast choice was as good or not better than any 5 star hotel we have stayed in..
We will definitely be going back in the future!!!!
Super apartment with everything required for a peaceful and comfortable stay. Very clean, convenient for Aboyne and surrounding area, well equipped, helpful non intrusive host with little treats and essentials (tea, coffee, milk, chocolate) provided
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.
Brilliant location. Quiet woodland surrounding. Close to River Dee, and to Ballater. Lodge had all we needed. We had several evening meals in the hotel. Food there is excellent. Staff very helpful & friendly.
Very busy hotel with a genuine warm welcome on arrival. Fantastic staff, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast and dinner were fab. Great place to stay if your exploring Royal Deeside and beyond.
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.
Had not received the correct code but was immediately fixed. We adored the little house and wood area around it. Had a lovely stay and hope to come back.
