One of the larger buildings in the village, the building has interesting architectural features, notably corbelling to the square gable, and the projecting angled bays. The lodge displays traditional architectural characteristics of the area, such as the use of granite, timber and slate. The building has retained its unusual external appearance despite later additions to the W and N.
The use of this building has changed little in its history. Although smaller than the two principal hotels in Braemar, the Lodge reflects the ongoing need for holiday accommodation which has characterised the village since the nineteenth century, and its former use as a shooting lodge further reflects Braemar's status as a venue for sport and recreation in Victorian and modern times.
