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.

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!

Great location, the view from the windows is just gorgeous. The hot tub (the reason for booking), even thought it’s shared it wasn’t a problem and was very welcome after a day out and about. Good quality one as well. Comfy bed, lovely bathroom and neat wee kitchen. What they are doing with the space/grounds is braw. Well done!!

from the outside a typical old Scottish stone house but inside completely modern equipped with underfloor heating, modern bathrooms and a great kitchen. In the garden a Hottube. This was absolutely great because the weather was nasty in our Ballater Week.
