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.
The hotel car park is located behind the building

We have just returned from a great week staying at this hotel, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the food excellent with plenty choice it was nice to be served at our table. All the staff were very pleasant and couldn’t do enough for you. There was entertainment on four nights and provided good easy listening music. Have stayed in quite a few Shearings hotels and have never been disappointed. It is worth paying extra for a treat to an upgraded room.

First time holiday with Shearings, having been with other companies this was without doubt the best. Old beautiful hotel, very good rooms big and no problem with staff, all keen to help. Would I go with Shearings again? You bet I would

Four of us stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. Food and service excellent. Rooms were clean and tidy and en-suite was modern and looked like it had been recently done. The entertainment Friday and Saturday was very good. More so Saturday and his name was Stephen. As well as being a very good musician and singer he was also very funny. So good that my husband bought his CD. Drinks are very expensive, but that is to be expected of hotels. Been to 4 Shearings hotels and will go to more.

Back home, wishing we were still at Invercauld, very helpful, pleasant staff. Rooms: comfortable and clean. Food: super varied menu served by friendly but very professional waiters. We were a party of eight who have a Shearings holiday every October and we have never had to complain about anything in any of the Shearings hotels throughout Scotland. We haven't decided which hotel will have the pleasure of the eight of us next year!!!!

A hotel with a history as fine as its facade. Stay a night en passant and be looked after, but stay a few days and try to meet Carlos (the manager, who will usually be found helping out if any team is a bit short) and Chef, and Maitre d' (there are two - one has a moustache: the other hasn't.) In the dining-room you will receive five-star attention from young waiters trained by Maitre d'. Do look at your waiting staff as they work. It's like watching ballet. Waiting is a profession, not a job.

Returned on Friday from a lovely holiday with my husband. Very happy with our room, plenty of helpful staff on duty. Good food & choice of menu. One thing that upset me was the gold necklace with a jade cross on it. When I arrived home & was sorting out presents for the family, from carrier bags, at the bottom of one plastic carrier bag I found my necklace. Thank the Lord my necklace had fallen off into one of the bag of presents. Thank the staff for their help & concern.
