We loved everything about this property. The size and space for everyone, cleanliness and facilities. Oh yes the fact that it is in amongst the hills. Perfect setting, so very quiet. It’s only a 10 minute drive from Ballater where there are lots of shops and a main supermarket. We would love to return!

Absolutely beautiful location. Close to the town of Ballater, yet a rural location with walks from the property. Pet friendly, with a lovely garden for our dog. The added bonus of having use of a charger for our EV on site. The Mill has everything required for a fantastic stay. We have already booked our next stay.

Everything! This was our second time staying at the tiny houses with my partner and our pet dog. Lovely, tranquil location with everything you need nearby. Lots to do in the area and a great spot for walking. Can't wait to go back again. Hot tub was an added bonus this year with stunning views.

Great cabins in a great location, very easy for local shops and great location for going hikes in the surrounding areas. Nice and clean with a great television and music player. Friendly staff that said hello and made sure we were happy with the cabin. Nice and quiet at night which was great after a days hike. Lots of information leaflets on the area which is always useful. Being dog friendly with no charge was also a big positive for us!
