The Fife Arms
Braemar art hotel with dog rooms in every category and most doors open
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
The Clunie Water runs right past the hotel into a network of village paths, Morrone Birkwood climbs straight out of Braemar, and the Linn of Dee and the Mar Lodge estate are a short drive west.
Dogs go almost everywhere on a lead, apart from the Clunie Dining Room, Elsa's Bar, the Drawing Room and the spa.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 30, Per dog per night
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Every room category includes dog-friendly rooms, and dogs are welcome through most of the hotel on a lead. The dog-free spaces are the Clunie Dining Room, Elsa's Bar, the Drawing Room and the Albamhor Spa. Breakfast is served in the Clunie, so that meal is a people-only one. The Flying Stag pub and the garden are the places to aim for with a dog in tow.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
