Fabulous

Stayed here previously and service is fantastic. A bit of let down as one of the basin in the bathroom was blocked and fuse blew as soon as we turned the jacuzzi on. I was told the following morning that we could have called an after hours for urgent assistance, but it was a too much of a hassle for someone to visit late at night. The front person was very apologetic, luckily we had the fire going so it was warm enough for the night! Very comfortable place to stay. Will stay again in the future.

Lovely place to stay

Only stayed one night. Lovely facilities and a quiet location. It is a short drive to Hammer township. There is a restaurant onsite although we didn't eat there. Room was very comfortable, and clean.

10/10 Exceptional

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking view—it was truly the highlight of our trip. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, offering warm and welcoming service throughout our stay. The thoughtful little touches really made the experience unforgettable, such as the adorable dog bed and bowl for our furry friend, and the romantic swan-shaped towels with rose petals scattered across the bed to celebrate our honeymoon. Every detail was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable getaway. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for an exceptional and personalized experience!

I have stayed at Braemar before and it was excellent. It is now quite dated and small things are wrong. No matching wine glasses, TV not mounted properly, flickering lights. The restaurant was previously fantastic, now a shadow of its former self. Quite sad.
