The lounge, conservatory and breakfast rooms were very well presented and the views from the property are stunning.

The ambience was calm and peaceful. The house was beautiful. Our room and bathroom were very comfortable and luxurious. The breakfasts were delicious and the service exemplary. Walking distance from a good pub with food.
It was expensive but what is on offer does merit the high cost.

Amazing! Best stay anywhere I’ve traveled! Joyce and Garry check in with all of their guests, about every single detail. Excellent breakfast, tea, dinner platters. Spotless, gorgeous, beyond.

Everything. The house is wonderful, in a perfect location for attractions in the area.
The place is quiet (with the river in the background), cosy and extremely well looked after.
The hosts, Joyce and Garry are very kind and careful for every need.
The food is of the highest quality from breakfast to dinner
Highly recommended and we can't wait to go back!

Everything was absolutely exceptional. We were blown away by the warm hospitality we received. The room and lounge areas were spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was more than generous. We had the loveliest, luxury, stay and would not hesitate to return. Thank you so much to Joyce for the kindness in welcoming us to your beautiful home.
Absolutely nothing negative to say - we only wish we could've stayed longer!

The house was lovely historic with spacious beautifully decorated rooms; the location was perfect and ideallic, being very quiet and overlooking the river. The hosts were lovely, friendly and provided a level of hospitality that I've not experienced for a long time. I am very much looking forward to going back! Oh yes, and the breakfast with locally sourced ingredients was wonderful.
Nothing comes to mind; from my perspective (as a fussy traveller) it was perfect.

Our family stayed at Lys-na-Greyne (Aboyne) in early July and had a truly wonderful time. Joyce and Gary were impeccable, attentive and kind. The house, the garden and setting are gorgeous. It’s right on the River Dee so you can walk into town for dinner along the river bank. Breakfasts are spectacular, with everything hand-made and locally-sourced. Gary even makes his own jams. The rooms are large and well-appointed: everything is tasteful and well thought-out. If you want a holiday in Scotland, this is the place to stay. Lys-na-Greyne should be the gold standard against which all other hotels and B+B’s are measured.

We concur with everything that has been said before. We had a wonderful stay at Joyce and Garry’s. It’s all about the guests, quality and hospitality. Very much recommended!

The location was just superb. Brilliant hosts. Fantastic breakfasts. Love the extra touches - afternoon tea and cake and help yourself to whisky and sherry in the lounge. Everything 5 star luxe.
There is nothing to improve.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed with Joyce and Garry for 2 nights and we both concluded we if we could, hopefully - we'd be back every year. The whole experience was relaxing, comfortable, luxurious and just a beautiful treat. Highlights were the breakfast (we were full for the whole day) and the best bathroom and shower in our room. Joyce and Garry were also so helpful with recommendations about anything and everything -they know the area so well and couldn't have made the stay not only at the bnb but in the area more enjoyable. We miss it already!
