The staff, both at reception and in the restaurant, were welcoming, friendly and chatty. The room was very comfortable with a great little set of coffees, teas and Tunnocks snacks. We really loved sitting in the lounge which was peaceful and had very traditional decoration, a nice change and different from home, so it enhanced that sense of "being away". The fire was always lit in the evening too, delightful! Finally, the dining room, again, was very characterful and relaxed, there was no sense of feeling rushed, and the menu was simple and delicious.

Evening Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and wine selection amazing - breakfast made to order high end selection my Eggs Benedict was amazing!!, Dined another night dined in the Lochnagar Indian Brasserie and it was packed out, excellent food again, really good value. Live music on in the local bar all within 100 metres of this beautiful hotel. This is the affordable more relaxed version of the The Fife in Braemar, gets my vote from now on. All staff were excellent and part of their training programme, customer service is key here.

We loved everything about our stay at the Balmoral Arms! The room was very generously sized (including an enormous bed), bathroom new and clean, and the thoughtful complimentary gifts for humans and dogs were a lovely touch. The hotel in general is super dog-friendly, and the bar area was a wonderfully comfortable place to sit and have a quiet drink/snacks after a long day in the hills. Breakfast is generous, and location is perfect. Staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to return.

Jeanette

The food in particular was excellent. We both had dietary requirements and these were no problem at all to be catered for. The room itself was spacious, especially the bathroom, and the staff were all very friendly. Although we had some issues with the bathroom's cleanliness, the main bedroom seemed very clean and the amenities that were available in the room were excellent - the plugs next to the bed even had USB sockets for our phone chargers, which was a bonus and unexpected.

Emma

Very good location. Hotel looks good from the outside, and is only a few steps away from the church and Green. The church bells gently ring regularly, very lovely. The breakfasts are exceptionally tasty and the waitresses helpful and are very respectful. We had a modern bedroom which was cleaned every day. The tea/ coffee tray included caramel wafers and delicious rhubarb tea. Dogs are allowed.
