Hotel information
The Cairngorms are a haven for serious walkers and those who just admire great scenery. Put yourself at the heart of it with a stay at The Invercauld Arms which stands on one of the largest country estates in Scotland, surrounded by a dramatic Grampian backdrop.
The stately Invercauld Arms Hotel is an important landmark on the edge of the delightful Highland village of Braemar. Built as a coaching inn in 1645, it survived the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 and housed Belgian refugees during World War Two. Today the hotel interior boasts a warm, welcoming and contemporary feel after recent refurbishments to a number of areas. The Castleview restaurant is a delightful setting to enjoy dinner and our comfortable lounge is a great place to unwind at the end of a day full of castles and Cairngorms.
