WE STAYED IN THE MOST LUXURIOUS & ROMANTIC HOTEL IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS (room + hotel tour)
WE STAYED IN THE MOST LUXURIOUS & ROMANTIC HOTEL IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS (room + hotel tour)// Happy Tuesday everyone, We can't wait to share today's travel vlog and where we stayed in Scotland! The Fife Arms in Braemar was on our wishlist since last Christmas and we were able to make this wish come true just now. Oh what a unique place! It's definitely the most luxurious and romantic in the Scottish Highlands surrounded by breathtaking Scottish scenery. If you love art and antiques, you will simply fall in love with this hotel. We stayed in the Lord Byron Room which is one of their Scottish Culture rooms. There's so much to explore on every corner, all the original art pieces took our breath away. And you can start hiking from the doorstep, it just doesn't get any better. We tried to film as much as possible (we had to leave out some bits as the video would have been far too long) so you hopefully get to experience The Fife Arms with us. Scotland travel at its best we think. Enjoy! Kirsten & Joerg xx
P. S. Sorry about the spelling mistake of 'Whisky' (since the plural form of Scottish whisky would be whiskies) - the editing of this video was a lot of work and I only realised after the whole publishing process. Thanks for understanding, we're not perfect.x

My heart was practically in my throat throughout the video, I was just fawning over everything about this video. What a beautiful destination; no trip to the UK would be complete without a lengthy stay in Scotland and the Scottish Highlands, of course. Thank you for providing the perfect video to live vicariously through.
I'm speechless, yet I must applaud. This hotel looks stunning outside as well as the rooms, bars and restaurants inside. I must say, I enjoyed all of it, less so the trophies off stuffed animals, although I'm aware that the hunting was very popular back in the days. Nevertheless, the hotel is very stylish and a perfect romantic getaway. Thank you for filming it so beautifully. 👌You deserved to be pampered. ☺️

Can't decide what was my favorite thing in this episode. The tartan drapery, the artworks, the beautiful drone shots from your hike, the glowing whiskey bar....I give up, it's all wonderful♥️
You are spoiling us! What a treat to have everything from drone views and hiking to a whiskey bar and a historic hotel stay. Loved every minute!

Oh, if only those hills could talk. I can see why The Fife Arms is not your typical Hotel. It looks almost like a home. The tea set was lovely and when Jorge kissed your hand, so sweet.
Another spectacular video! Your excitement and appreciation for all the places you visit are so inspiring! Thank you for taking us along on your fantastic journey to Scotland! 🏴😊❤️ - from New Jersey, USA
Beautiful video! Great drone footage as always! Glad you all enjoyed it. Looking forward to Balmoral!!🥰🥰
Kirsten and Jorge so beautiful everything on top of the hill what a view inside that was an incredible decor pictures light fixtures most of all the furniture 😍 ❤ ♥
Oh my goodness! What a very stylish and British hotel room. So luxurious. And additionally in my favorite country. So much love to historic details to see and notice. The tartan curtains and the seating area are so Scottish that they are truly to die for. Makes want to go and pack and get immediately on a flight to the Scottish Highlands. My favorite home stay.

Away, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens of roses ! In you let the minions of luxury rove, Restore me the rocks where the snow-flake reposes, Though still they are sacred to freedom and love. Lord Byron. What a beautiful place it's like a museum. Lots of whiskey. Hope Joerg enjoyed it. Cheers Ron & Dovie

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed this! Such a stunning hotel. I loved every bit of it. I'm so happy you had the opportunity, and your wish fulfilled. I loved all the details, and Tea Time looked scrumptious! Thanks so much for taking us along!🌻💕🌷

I can see sitting in the Lord Byron room writing letters, reading poetry and starting a diary to describe a special moment in life. The tea and visiting with fellow guests another loving interval.
A truly unique hotel! And, what a priceless room to stay in…very comfortable and cosy. The Cairngorms landscape is so rugged! The view from the top looked worth the climb, though. Stay well, Kirsten and Joerg.
Another incredible video and hotel....look at those views...Wow! Not to mention the food. Can imagine that you felt like royalty staying there. Stay safe, and thank you for your time with all of us here.
What a great place to visit, amazing hotel and views of beautiful scotland! Loved it all! Looking forward to see the next video! Love always Rita 😘❤

What a spectacular and interesting looking hotel! I love the juxtaposition of traditional decor and modern art. My husband was drooling over the whisky bar, and I could certainly do damage in the gift shop! I would love to go there in the fall to dine on Wild, but so would everyone else judging by the prices then. Glad you got to experience the place, and happy that you took us along.

It is indeed spectacular! The whisky bar was absolutely amazing, although I don't drink it, it was simply wonderful to just sit there. It's so beautiful! Yes, it's quite pricey all year round (I think the Nature & Poetry rooms are absolutely stunning too and more than enough sizewise). Have a lovely week too.

Just breathtaking. Your videos create such a longing. Oh to be able to visit this enchanting place. Thank you so much!
It is a beautiful hotel lve had lunch there l loved it 🌿
It would take forever just to get out of the room there was so much to enjoy and appreciate. I love vintage books and I see they had volumes of his poetry. No I am certain I would not have left until I had composed several of my own. Such an art collection. Oh well another weekend I’d be going home broke. I had to say eggs Benedict is my absolute favorite breakfast.

Sending Get Well wishes from another Outlander fan, it has been such a treat to binge on every episode of 6 seasons! I too just loved the tartans everywhere visible in the Hotel! If i could go to the gift shop there, I would take home that beautiful tartan fringed blanket/shawl on display with the other tartans. Our dear Kirsten and Jorg have truly outdone themselves gifting us with this Highland adventure. The music was so moving and emotional, it makes me homesick for somewhere I have never lived.
I absolutely love your channel. My family spent 4 years in the UK, and I will never forget the way I felt while there. It was like a big step back in time. You both are so lucky to experience your travels, in person. We viewers are so lucky that you share with us. God bless you both. Safe travels.
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg for that amazing view. Please keep it coming!
Well thats it sorted. Going to my brothers in Stirling next month and we wanted to find a nice hotel, in the highlands, for our joint birthday - twins. And i have found it. now comes the hard sell
now you are making me very jealous.....in all my life I couldn't have afforded that hotel. Love yr choices.
Absolutely beautiful ! Thank you for sharing this video ,it was stunning!
This was a stunning hotel……beautiful countryside. You were a good sport on your punishment 😉
What a wonderful place! A dream trip!
Lord Byron’s coat is really a unique feature in this room. I’ve never seen anything like that in a hotel room, but clearly this an exceptional room. And the whiskey bar was stunning. I don’t drink, but I really enjoyed the beauty of the bottles lighted with warm, golden light.
Wonderful colors in your room and all the antiques are so appropriate. What a beautiful place to stay.

We have been to Scotland a few times but we have never been to Braemar, Aberdeenshire. Now it’s on my bucket list for sure! Love the boot room, but not a fan of the animal heads on the wall or the taxidermy hanging around, but it isn’t a deterrent from the rest of the Hotels Art. Joerg is such a romantic 🥰.
