A beautiful location, and a warm welcome.

Pros: From start to finish we had a great stay. A lovely warm welcome from the owner, a comfortable sleep in an immaculate room and a tasty breakfast before departure. The perfect short stay. We will return to this lovely property in the future.

Cons: No problems, can’t wait to return again.

Pros: We had a lovely time here, it was a highlight of our trip to Scotland. It’s in a fantastic location and despite our short stay we loved everything about this place, including watching all the birds and red squirrels surrounding the property. The breakfast was delicious and so is the honey sold in the dining room. Our room was clean and comfy, the bathroom spacious and modern. We loved the black cat who joined us in our room! He was incredibly friendly and affectionate, it made us feel better as we were missing our own cat at home. Thank you for such a great stay :)

Pros: The room was very fresh and well appointed, Kathleen was very hospitable and friendly, the breakfast was outstanding and well presented. All the birds and squirrels on the feeders were very entertaining.

Cons: Slightly difficult to find the entrance coming from Ballater. Maybe a sign just before the bend would help

A memorable couple of days. Great comfort and brilliant to see Red Squirrels feeding from our room.

Pros: The owner, Kath, was the perfect host. The room was very well appointed and the bathroom was lovely. Breakfast was fantastic. The setting is wonderful for wildlife. We counted 14 different species of birds in one go on the feeders and Red Squirrels.

Cons: Not enough Red Squirrels. (only joking)

Wish it were my regular place to stay .

Pros: Beautiful serene location, newly renovated rooms which had the most comfortable mattress so far! Breakfast was plentiful with so many options. Dining room overlooked the garden with over a dozen bird feeders plus one for the red very greedy squirrel 🐿️ so many unknown species of birds for us southern hemisphere folk. Want a problem though because there was a guide at each table of bird pic and name. Kath and her son were sensational hosts . Loved our quite lengthy chat, felt like a real friend when leaving ( even gave her a hug) DEFINATELY a place to stay at.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Magical place

Pros: The house was immaculate, not a spec of dust, room was comfortable and tastefully decorated. Beautiful forrest surroundings great for walks with the dog (she was welcomed and got treats at breakfast). Fab cooked breakfast in the morning along with selection of cereals/jams/juices were also included. Would definitely stay again

Cons: A WiFi didn't work but it wasnt a big deal so we didn't bother the host.
