Willow's Nordic Shepherds Hut

Gorgeous views, fantastic location, beautiful hut and amazing staff!

Pros: We loved every single moment- from start to finish! The staff were always on hand, super friendly and attentive! The hut was gorgeous and clean!! We utilised the outside space for morning coffees, the inside space is small but perfect for what we were wanting! The but was equipped with everything you could need! Iron, hair dryer, toilet rolls, some tea and coffee, shower gel and more!! Location? Amazing! It’s a couple minute walk to the main square, close to pubs, restaurants and more! Best to note the hut is close to other properties so you should expect a tiny tiny bit of noise but this did not affect us one bit!! We will absolutely be back!!!

Cons: Nothing! Cannot fault this place/ our trip to Ballater!

Perfect

Pros: Well equipped cosy warm Shepards hut, in a great location.

Pros: The location was amazing, we've been visiting Ballater for years and found this to be such a great central place to stay with a dog. The hut is so warm and cosy, we had a great time!

Cons: Would've loved if there was a king size bed instead of a double

Really enjoyed our stay.

Pros: Excellent location. Enclosed garden for pooch. Very warm, clean and fully equipped with everything you would need.

Cons: Quite an early check out time and late check in.

Great little place,highly recommend

Pros: Very clean,very cosy,vey well kitted out ! In fact much more than listed(2 ring hob,mini air fryer,toaster,kettle,pots pans and all you need. Mini log burner was great not that you need it much it’s so well insulated but great to have on for effect. No problem finding it and plenty space on the street to park and only a short walk into town. Check in was straight forward with a key code sent a few days before with good communication beforehand and an info booklet left for all other instructions. Overall highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.

Lovely compact accommodation for a couple of nights.

Pros: Excellent location in Ballater. Easy to walk everywhere, including bus stops. This was important as we had no car. Well equipped kitchen area, although we ate out, so didn’t use much apart from the kettle.

Cons: Sliding door into the shower room kept jamming on us. I did report to the owner, but got no reply. Hopefully they will have fixed now. Bed is so tightly fitted into space that it is difficult to get in and out. To be fair, this is obvious from the photos and is a lesson learned for us for the future.

Very comfortable stay

Pros: Good location, walking distance to a lovely bakery in town and all the facilities, the bed was lovely and comfortable, had a great stay.

Stylish \u0026 Quiet

Pros: Stylish fittings. Excellent knife selection. Generous crockery supply. Comfortable bed. Quiet position, but within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants etc.

Cons: No shaver point. Noisy extractor fans which didn't feature in the manual which itself seemed to be in part about another property! (eventually solved) The cost! (it was all that was left after another property let me down)

Perfect for a short stay.

Pros: Perfect central, quiet location for a short stay in Ballater. The hut was well equipped and very clean, bed was comfortable.

Cons: A light weight summer duvet, the 13.5 tog duvet was too hot during the lovely weather we had as the hut gets very hot!

Pros: The hut was modern and fresh, the amenities were good. It was dog friendly and there were no signs a dog had been stayed in the past.

Cons: Some extra towels would have been nice as we were there 4 nights/5 days, otherwise there were no issues with our stay.
