Derek

From

United Kingdom

Lovely little place with high-quality furnishings. Just a short walk from the middle of Ballater but feels quiet and peaceful. The lounge/dining room catches the late afternoon sun and has a view up to the oak woods of Craigendarroch hill. It's quite a small place (the reasonable price reflects this - it's in a 'premium' part of the Highlands) but the quality of the armchair, sofa and dining chairs would put many a grand country hotel to shame and made for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Balazs

From

United Kingdom

The location is brilliant, it’s in a nice quiet village and close to Glenshee Ski centre if you’re planning to go ski/snowboard. Clunie is quite a small cabin but it’s perfect for 1 or 2 people and for the price, it’s the best value accommodation for your money.
