Despite booking and paying months in advance and having the booking references and confirmations they appeared to be unready for us, took ages for a group of them looking at the computer screens to find us rooms. Booked a double room, given a twin. 2nd room was in what appeared the attic with no way to turn down the furnace... More

A very sad building. It could be a lovely place,but needs so much work. For example, the dinning room carpet is held down by duck tape and is worn and filthy. Or room was huge - 116 Cullonden with a canopy bed and was very clean, but freezing. Coaches full of people who push you to get to the breakfast... More

Visited the Fife Arms with my family for a meal of a Saturday evening. On entering the bar the plae was very busy, people waiting for a bar meal. Bar meals do not start until 6pm so there were a fair number of impatient children. The barman, who was on duty on his own was moaning about the work he... More

I can't believe the people who are giving this hotel bad reviews because there was some flaky paint in their room, the carpet was a bit worn, the view from the bedroom window wasn't very spectacular, or the radiator wouldn't turn off etc etc etc. Ask a member of staff to fix your radiator, stop looking for faults in the...

Spent three nights at this hotel. The food was good and the staff were very attentive which made our stay very relaxing. The rooms in this hotel are a bit tired and could do with a lick of paint etc.but most of these old hotels are like this in Scotland. We would certainly go back to this hotel and Braemar... More

Although the staff were very friendly, the food was good, the room was terrible! The room was very tired and shabby;- the dusty curtains were hanging off the rail at... More

i was surprised by the last review as i have just spent a night with friends at this hotel and my experience was very different - in the lovely village of Braemar sits this hotel which looks lovely from the outside and the ground floor was welcoming with an open fire. The staff were lovely. My problem lies with our... More

My girlfriend and I spent 2 nights in this Victorian style hotel from 13th to 15th of March 2013 and it was brilliant. The food, the staff and the atmosphere of the hotel was excellent and we would certainly go back again. The room we were in was very clean and cosy with a 32 inch TV. The only problem... More

My husband and I and our friends have just come back from a great trip to Braemar, where we stayed in the Fife Arms. The weather was very cold to say the least. -12 a few nights and snowy, but the warmth of our bedrooms, the staff and the public areas more than made up for the cold weather! The... More
