Howe of Torbeg, hotel in Braemar

Howe of Torbeg provides glamping accommodation near Ballater, within the Cairngorms National Park. Guests can use the property's Kadai fire bowls for BBQs and evenings around the fire.

Great location very easy to get to from the main roads. Overlooks a river and a farm with sheep and little lambs - which was great. I hopped over the fence and went to say hi + sit by the river for my morning coffee. The bathrooms, common area, and tea shack are all really well thought and are meticulously clean. Very impressed with the setup.

    Braemar is in Royal Deeside.

    Braemar is in Royal Deeside. It is a small, picturesque village loved by walkers and tourists alike. Rightly proud of its history and royal connections.. it has lots to offer. It is the gateway to the Cairngorms, quaint local gift shops and lovely restaurants and bars. You can choose then to take the scenic route over the hills to Perth via Glenshee ( take a tour of the local gin distillery at Persie ) or take the coast road via Ballater, Aboyne and Banchory to the city of Aberdeen. We certainly enjoyed our visit and plan to return next year.

    Clean, friendly with plenty of eateries and pubs.

    Clean, friendly with plenty of eateries and pubs. Best food and pub for me was Moorfield House Hotel. A little tucked away but worth the effort. Loads of walking from local strolls to mammoth Munro hikes. The countryside and wildlife is fantastic.

    The hospitality of the staff was very friendly and approachable! They were happy to tell you about places and suggest restaurants and pubs and walks. The breakfast was amazing ( especially the scrambled egg) with lots of choice. Safety measures were put in place for covid. Our room was lovely and clean with comfy beds. You couldn’t hear anyone else use their bathroom which was brill! Location was 2 mins walk to town which is ideal. Couldn’t fault anything! We had a great stay here!

    Loved the lodge, everything we needed for our stay. Spacious and comfortable, the pics on booking.com don't do it justice! Perfect location for skiing at Glenshee. Braemar is a cute little town within a couple of minutes with a variety of stores. Hosts really helpful if we had any questions.

    The location was ideal, just on the outstirts of Braemar, very quiet but easy walking distance of town centre. The facilities were good, comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had, perfect for the morning after watching England beat Germany.

    Sadly 24 hours after we left, this lovey hotel burned to the ground. Further comments would be pointless. Best wishes and good luck to the owner Malcom and his family.
