    We stayed a single night. The accommodation was beautiful. Set in a rural property with fields in all direction and far back from the road, the stay was quiet and relaxing. Martin and Louise were great hosts, and they kindly dropped us into the pretty local town of Ballater for dinner and then and picked us up again afterwards. The home cooked breakfast was especially nice as well. Highly recommended.

    Great hosts, made us feel at home immediately, very welcoming and helpful. High quality accommodation, lovely room with comfortable bed and quality furnishings. Delicious breakfast freshly prepared each day. Great location about one mile from Ballater in peaceful surroundings with great views. Also handy for visiting Balmoral. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area and would not hesitate to recommend to others.
