We had a fantastic stay at Braemar Lodge! The rooms were absolutely stunning ā€” 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 ā€” 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!

Very nice place to stay
Braemar is a very nice place to stay at. We only stayed 1 night but the time we were there we were impressed. The only issue we had was with the restaurant. 1 piece of the meal was very undercooked. Other than that the drinks, dessert and breakfast were good. We would stay there again.

Nice room and spa. Breakfast good too. However when we asked to have vegetarian options made available for the dinner menu, we were not accommodated. Also seal up the road leading into the property, gravel road makes too much dust and messes up the car as well as being unhealthy for the Alpacas on the road side. Put a sign by electric vehicle chargers stating to move the car once it is charged so someone else can charge their car! Also gardens need to be maintained.

It was once a very nice retreat which seems to have been let go. Was impossible to contact staff from inside or outside resort so drove all the way back from town only to be told that the restaurant that is advertised as open 7 days a week was closed so had to drive back to town to try and find food. Not quite what we expected

The Lodge was in a beautiful location, rooms were very large and well appointed, the view from our room was fantastic very private, added bonus was waking up to snow. The disappointing thing about our room was not being able to use the spa bath as the water coming out of the pipes was brown.
