About the award
This award recognises standout B&Bs across the UK, that provide excellent levels of quality accommodation,
personalised hospitality and service as well as a memorable breakfast.
Lys-Na-Greyne, ABERDEENSHIRE
Built in 1912 for Sir Francis Outram,
Baronet, this Edwardian granite house
stands in a wooded conservation
area at the western end of Aboyne.
Its position on the north bank of the
River Dee gives it a strong sense of
place, with mature gardens, peaceful
surroundings and far-reaching views up
the Dee Valley.
This is a very well-run and genuinely
hospitable B&B, where the husbandand-wife team combines high standards
with warm, personal service. Bedrooms
and public rooms are comfortable
and well presented, while food is
a particular strength. Breakfast is
excellent, combining carefully sourced
produce with Garry’s award-winning
jams and preserves. Generous platters
and occasional set-menu evenings also
expand the dinner options and broaden
the overall dining experience
