    All round excellence.

    There was not one thing that they hadn’t thought of. Very well equipped for all levels of disability, but also cosy and comfortable for the whole family. Our cottage overlooked Balmoral across the river and it is a short easy walk across the adjacent bridge to visit. Dogs are welcome, but the grounds and neighbouring fields are alive with rabbits and we couldn’t let our Terrible Two Terriers off lead even when we were with them, just too much temptation. However there were plenty opportunities to walk them locally. Maggie left a book for us with some wheelchair friendly walk routes. Ballater and Braemar are both woth visiting with a good selection of eating places.

    What more can I say?

    I can only repeat what everyone else has said. Lovely place, lovely manager, lovely setting. The cottage we stayed in had everything we could possibly have wanted. I do hope we can visit again. What was special? The bird feeders right outside our patio door - AND several visits from a great spotted woodpecker!

    A wonderful place to stay

    Excellent stay. Very comfortable, well thought out cottage layout with special equipment available too. Many things to do locally without getting in the car (Balmoral, Royal Lochnagar Distillery, Tarmachan Cafe and nearby bakery. Good dog walking from the cottage. We will be back.
