Our stay here was lovely. The room was very clean and comfortable. The lounge was very relaxing and cosy. Breakfast was superb. Andy and Liz are great hosts and make you feel relaxed and welcome. We would recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for a snowy weekend in April. Liz and Andy were helpful and very welcoming and made us feel relaxed and at home. They were also very accommodating of our request for vegetarian breakfasts. Our room was large, clean and cosy and we slept like logs in the big, comfy bed. Didn't use the electric blanket, but it...

This friendly guesthouse is located within a few minutes walking distance of the town centre on the road leading to Glenshee Ski Centre (about 9 miles away) and therefore made a good base for a few days skiing in the area. It comprises 6 guest bedrooms, a breakfast room and a residents lounge. There is parking within the grounds and... More

We only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer. Very peaceful and comfortable. Andy and Liz were very welcoming and helpful. It is the first time that I have been able to look out of a bedroom window and watch a red squirrel.

We love Callater Lodge. Everything Andy and Liz do is just perfect - from the little teddy bear that keeps out intruders (the "Do not disturb" sign), the exquisite breakfasts, coffee, and fabulous selection of whisky. Hot water bottle, and lovely toiletries - this is 5 star luxury, with a B&B price tag.

We have just spent three days using Braemar as a base for exploring the area. Callater Lodge is a charming and characterful building, just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of the village, surrounded by stunning scenery. There are a small number of restaurants in Braemar catering for various budgets, and the three that we went to were... More

Great location, Andy and Liz were very helpful and made our stay very pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable. My Wife enjoyed shopping in all the village shops. If in the Braemar area this is the place to stay.

We had a very nice stay at the Callater Lodge. The family room was a bit small for 2 adults, 2 kids and a baby, especially if you have some luggage to store in the room. Andy and Liz are very nice people and the breakfast was delicious - even the coffee was good - and this in Scotland...

Thank you for your kind comments it was a pleasure to meet you. We would however like to say, as we discussed when booking, our family room was not suitable for your requirements and that for just one night we would convert our large double room by preparing the sofa as a double bed for two of the children and...
