Shieling Beag

Shieling Beag is a lovely studio apartment with a very nice layout and design. Excellent.

Pros: Shieling Beag is a lovely studio apartment with a very nice layout and design. Very clean and comfortable. The little kitchen was just right and the tea and biscuits were a nice welcome.

Cons: There was nothing not to like.

Clean and comfortable, ideal as a base to explore from, would use again.

Pros: It was in a lovely location, just on the edge of Banchory town centre. Well appointed gardens and nice compact accommodation. The host, Dr Linda, was readily available for any queries/needs as she and her husband live in the same property, which is nicely split so you get total privacy. Ideally suited for a couple, the bed was lovely and comfortable, lovely and clean and suited our needs. From town there is a bus service that takes you to other towns and sights such as Balmoral, Aboyne and Braemar. In Braemar I would recommend “The Flying Stag” lovely food at reasonable prices.

Cons: The property was in good order, but going forward perhaps a slightly larger TV would be of benefit and a more powerful hairdryer !!!. It is great to use as a base and to have breakfast or snacks rather than full blown catering experience.

Good compact well equipped bedsit. Fine for one person

Pros: Very comfortable bed. Well equipped. Nice views. Good location for walking to town centre.

Cons: Parking was difficult on the drive of the property without blocking in the owners two cars. Felt uncomfortable hearing the owners just the other side of a thin door by the bed.

Pros: Very comfortable with everything you could need. Spotlessly clean. Great hosts. Thank you

Cons: Nothing at all , we've stayed here 4 or 5 times now to visit our daughter in the village and we will be back again soon

Pros: Lovely apartment. We didn't use cooking facilities but could see everything we would have needed had been provided. Great shower and very comfy bed. Less than 10 min walk to shops, pubs and restaurants. 2 supermarkets a 5 min drive away. Great base for exploring further afield. Would definitely recommend

Cons: Inside stairs up to apartment are a little bit steep should you have a mobility problem (hubbie has arthritis in knees) but didn't stop us going out and about each day.

Banchory

Pros: So comfortable and peaceful. The hosts were very welcoming and provided lots of useful information concerning the local area.

Cons: The TV wasn't picking up a signal, but that didn't really matter to me as I wasn't going to watch much TV.

Pros: A lovely quaint accommodation with everything we required. Comfortable and quiet

Another enjoyable stay at Sheiling Beag.

Pros: Quiet location, comfy bed, privacy and the ability to walk into the village.

Cons: ‘Discover Scotland’ takes over the booking as a third party and floods your in box with duplicate irrelevant emails. Just one day after sending my information to Discover Scotland as requested, my credit card details were compromised and debts of $2500 racked up in quick, small transactions.. Thankfully I was successful seeing losses returned to my account. I’d rather just be dealing with Booking.com

A super place to stay for a few days. Would stay here again.

Pros: Lovely little apartment. Comfy bed. Good Shower. Very handy with the street. Quiet at night. Very clean. Well equipped. A lovely garden to sit at the front where we met the owner's friendly dog.

Cons: Not easy to find the location. A little sign with the name of the apartment would have been handy. No oven only a microwave. Would need a tidy up outside.

Pros: Très bien, le logement est plus spacieux qu’il ne parait sur les photos, surtout la cuisine. J’y teviendrai sans hésiter.

Cons: Le lien Booking dans Maps ne donne pas la postion exacte. Bien lire les infprmations fournies par l’hôte.
