Braemar Youth Hostel
Braemar
Braemar Youth Hostel is housed in a former shooting lodge in extensive grounds in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park.

Braemar is tiny and the hostel is just a short walk down the road from the centre, where the 201 bus stops. Facilities are excellent : large kitchen with all facilities and storage space, a breakfast room, a dining/meeting room and a large sitting room with tv and sofas. My dormitory was spacious with very comfortable bunk beds and lockers. (You need your own lock). There are large washing machines and dryers in the drying room(where you can hang wet outdoor clothing and put boots etc,) (Full large load with powder and drier for £6). You can arrange to have hostel breakfast forc an additional fee. WiFi is excellent when working but has minutes when it cuts out, but that goes with the location and probably affects the whole village,

LyndaTravelers with friends - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 86 reviewsCarol is a superb hostess. The rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable. Carol is friendly and helpful and made me feel very welcome. As a woman travelling alone, I felt safe and well cared for. There is a lovely lounge specifically for guests and this is where the TV and tea/ coffee making facilities are. Carol ensured that this room was always cosy and welcoming. The property is on the edge of the village, so it is easy to access everything on foot, but it is also peaceful and quiet. There are lovely walks directly from the door.AAnonymousSolo traveler
