Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Cosy and homely property which was remote but easy access to Ballater with a half hour walk or a few minutes by car. A 10 minute drive to Balmoral/Crathiie and other areas of interest. Breakfasts were fresh and delicious with lots of choice. Martyn and Louise were wonderful hosts and have thought of everything to make your stay a pleasure. Probably the best B&B We have ever stayed in. The most stunning area. Would recommend and not hesitate to return.
Negative: Nothing not to like!
Summary: A cracking wee B&B!
