Exceptional in every respect. A beautiful house. An enchanting location. Fabulous breakfast. But exceeding all of that, such wonderful hospitality. Thank you Joyce and Garry for your warm, generous and kind welcome and for your support during our stay. We’ll remember our couple of days with you for a very long time, and hope to visit again should we ever return to that magical part of the world.

This stay was just exceptional in every way. The property was beautiful. The views were fantastic. There was easy access to walk along the river into town. The breakfasts were phenomenal. The evening “boards” you could order were delicious. But by far the best thing of all was Joyce and Gary’s warm hospitality. We want to return.

Joyce and Garry are amazing hosts. Breakfast options are abundant and made fresh to your liking. Make sure you ask for Garry’s award winning marmalade. Options are available to have supper there as well. The rooms are large, beds are comfortable and the very well appointed. Impeccably clean throughout the home. Highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful two night stay and this was the highlight venue of our three week travel. Joyce and Gary are wonderful hosts and our room was stunning. We visited several events in the area including Balmoral and the Highland Games in Dufftown so our only regret was that we did not get to spend enough time just enjoying the room! We DID take Joyce's suggestion the very first night to walk into town to the Boat Pub and that was a special time. We loved our time and would love to return.

A warm & friendly Scottish welcome.

Spotlessly clean and very comfortable room. Good breakfast with home-made preserves and a home-made cake every afternoon. Whisky and Sherry for guests to help themselves. Lovely toiletries provided in rooms. Lots of extras and a very warm welcome. Even provided tea & cake for family who came to visit. Will definitely return.

Amazing stay!

Everything about staying at Lys-Na-Greyne is exceptional, but what really stands out is the classy and elegant, yet really friendly hospitality of Joyce and Gary. Luxury bed and breakfast it certainly is, with optional luxury evening platters available (which we had twice - amazing - with more than enough on the platter for both of us to share!). Great recommendations also from Joyce from where to eat to things to see or local walks. We very much look forward to returning in the future - just like you would look forward to visiting old friends again!

Everything was perfect

We stayed at this fantastic property for two days in May, and look forward to returning in the future. Every part of our stay was perfect – the accommodation, the property itself, the food and the hosting; absolutely spot on. We already had high hopes based on reviews, but were not let down - far from it. Food – I have a gluten free diet, and this was well catered for, so I didn’t feel I was missing out as often happens. The breakfasts certainly set you up for the day, and local high quality ingredients are sourced, such as local bacon and eggs from the same town. Photos of platters available in the evening are shown on their website, but don’t do them justice – they’re far more filling than expected, and again every part of the meal has a local, known high quality provenance, such as cheeses from nearby Strathdon. Accommodation – superb bedroom and a bathroom larger than my bedroom at home. Absolutely stunning facilities, and a pleasure to relax in an enormous bath at the end of the day. I can’t think of any way to improve the rooms. Locally there are walks for all abilities, and a short drive away are some more challenging hills, as well as distilleries and castles. We can recommend the Linn of Dee near Braemar as well as Prince Albert memorial (Scotland’s pyramid!) on the Ballater estate.
