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!

Excellent breakfast and a varied choice.

Everything was perfect.

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!

Beautiful house in excellent location with good views of the surrounding countryside. Rooms are spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished and decorated. The hosts do everything possible to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible including excellent breakfast cooked to order.

Our whole experience staying in Lys-Na-Greyne was excellent. Our hosts were very welcoming. The property was absolutely beautiful, very clean, with a lovely dining room, sitting room and outside seating area, which we had full use off during our stay, The property had lovely view of the hills, the river and the surrounding area. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to all travellers.

an exquisite granite house

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.

This was booked as a gift for my parents and they absolutely loved it !

A top location & top hospitality. highly recommended ! We will certainly come back.

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!

Perfect stay in every way. Beautiful grand home, gorgeous decor, stunning location. Enormous room, huge super comfy bed, peace and quiet. Sumptuous breakfast with award winning homemade marmalade. Very warm welcome and great hospitality from Joyce & Garry every. Outstanding stay!

Genuine, friendly and attentive hosts. Beautiful location, with a comfortable and relaxed feeling throughout the house and gardens. Garry and Joyce made us feel very welcome, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay with them.

Joyce and Gary are exceptional hosts; incredibly helpful, friendly and warm. Their property is a gem and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury B&B experience in the Scottish Highlands.

Everything was simply the best one could wish for when away from home: stunning property, warm and welcoming host, great location, afternoon tea + delicious ginger bread and a superb breakfast - thank you Joyce and Garry!

The Breakfast has to be the best, tastiest we have ever had at any B&B. You can't fault anything at all with the house location the owners. is really was perfect. Thank you.
