"Rakastimme, miten kaunis hotelli ja ravintola oli! Ruoka oli hämmästyttävä, huone oli iso ja mukava ja henkilöstö oli kaunis :)"

"I’ve stayed in this hotel before and decided to go back. The staff is very friendly and helpful."

"The rooms stink like guiness inspired sh*te, they don’t change the bed sheets from the previous guests. There’s more meat floating about their pints than there is on the bar tender, if you’re feeling wild enough to stay, just drink their bottles drinks. They don’t serve food but they’ve got their own ecosystem of mushrooms growing in the rooms so you may aswell help yourself to that (they ain’t gonna clean it). Stay away!"

"Meillä oli vain yksi yö täällä, mutta se oli hiljaa ja me kaikki levätä hyvin! Olemme pysyneet yhdessä makuuhuoneista ja se oli täysin puhdas ja miellyttävä."

"Some places are beautiful, but what makes them unforgettable are the people behind them. That is exactly what makes Lys-Na-Greyne so special. We spent a wonderful few days here with our daughter and her partner, and it could not have been a more perfect base for exploring Royal Deeside and Aberdeenshire. The real gems are Joyce and Gary. Joyce has that rare gift of making you feel as though you've known her for years. She is warm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring—always available with wonderful suggestions, yet never intrusive. Gary is an outstanding cook. Every meal was exceptional, prepared with excellent local ingredients and great skill. The breakfasts deserve a special mention: delicious, beautifully presented, and the perfect way to begin each day. Our room was lovely, with splendid views over the River Dee, but what impressed me just as much was the house itself. As someone who works in the field of interiors and decoration, I couldn't help but admire the extraordinary attention to detail. Every room reflects impeccable taste. The fresh flowers, beautifully laid tables, polished silver tea pots, elegant furnishings, and countless thoughtful touches create an atmosphere that is both refined and wonderfully welcoming. Nothing feels overdone—just beautifully considered. Joyce's recommendations made our stay even more memorable. We loved the scenic walk along the River Dee into Aboyne, where we discovered The Black Faced Sheep, a delightful café with excellent baked goods, simple homemade food, wonderful coffee, and a charming selection of homewares and gifts. We also thoroughly enjoyed dinner at The Ship Inn, another excellent recommendation. The value for money is exceptional considering the quality of the accommodation, the outstanding food, and the genuinely personal hospitality. Everything was immaculate, and the room and house were spotlessly clean throughout our stay. Despite being so conveniently located, it was wonderfully peaceful—we slept beautifully every night. If you're planning to explore Aberdeenshire, don't over-schedule your days. Follow Joyce's advice, allow time for spontaneous discoveries, and simply enjoy this beautiful corner of Scotland. Lys-Na-Greyne is much more than a lovely place to stay—it is a place created with genuine hospitality, exceptional taste, and great generosity. We left feeling we had stayed with friends and hope very much to return."

"Me kokosimme klanin kultaisesta häämatkasta... yksi sana... poikkeuksellinen! Majoitus on hieno, ruoka on erilaista iloa, ja henkilöstö kaikilla tasoilla ei olisi voinut olla enemmän tervetullut. Alex ja Amelia huolehtivat jokaisesta viinamme, kun James sommelier teki niin paljon enemmän kuin osallistua meidän viinitarpeita, täydellinen kaivoshostaja..... palaamme mutta kiitos teistä erityinen päivä erityinen... Sheila ja Rab Forbes ❤️"
