Very traditional and exceptionally clean! The staff were very helpful and friendly and made our stay very enjoyable.
It was fairly close to where we wanted to visit: Balmoral Castle .

Wonderfully comfortable bed. Delicious supper expertly presented. Cheerful staff, one of whom even shared a good joke with us.
A small shelf in the shower - but this is a very minor grouse.

We stayed in the lodges and they were just the perfect size for the three of us, all adults. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, cutlery, cooking items, etc. We loved sitting on the large back deck each evening. The lodge was extremely clean and an excellent location right on Ballatar Road.
The only issues we had was a leaky toilet and a not so friendly shower nozzle. We let the owners know about the toilet, it wasn't repaired during our stay, but it looked like a job that would take longer and more work intensive. We certainly were able to work around the problem. The shower nozzle was a bit finicky as it didn't stay in it's holder very well once on.

Cracking little two night break around doing the interior Balmoral Castle tour. Food excellent. Everyone got on on really well, Inc staff. Had good little bit of banter with the Germans and the Americans over a beer and a whisky! Don't mention the B word!
Maybe just lack of staff at times.

We stayed in one of the cabins, which were equipped with everything you need. And located in a quiet environment apart from the hotel, without being troubled by other guests. Beds were OK but not the best, and some facilities needed some work, but the peaceful location, very close to the beautiful nature, totally made up for this. Dinnet is very small and only has a nice hiking trail around Loch Kinord to offer; however it is close to other Cairngorms places and many castles as well.
Beds were OK but not the best
