Positive: We stayed at 17 properties on our UK trip and this was our absolute favourite by far. A beautiful couple with a very cosy, welcoming home. Our room was immaculate and our bed was like sleeping in a big marshmallow. The bathroom was big and everything was perfect, right down to the freshly baked lemon drizzle cake to go with our cuppa ☺️ Breakfast was delicious and more baking was offered to us for our journey ahead. Thank you so much for having us, your home is beautiful ❤️
Summary: Just wish we could have stayed longer, the perfect place to unwind.

Positive: Everything was taken care of in great detail. Room was spacious, bed was super comfortable, bathroom was superb with a beautifully designed and spacious walkin shower and everything was thought off. The hosts are super people and we will come back if we travel back to Scotland again. I was a bit under the weather and Matthew offered me a very nice glass of smooth local whiskey. It was soothing to the throat and made me sleep well. Breakfast was exactly what we like (continental and light with fruit, yoghurt and croissants) but other guests were enjoying a superb choice of heartier breakfast fare.
Negative: Everything was GREAT!
Summary: Everything you wish for and than some!

Positive: Views and setting excellent. Quiet at night, no traffic. Spacious comfortable room. As we were two ladies our hosts offered us two single duvets as the bed was king size so that was helpful. Breakfast excellent.
Negative: No space in bathroom to put toiletries bag except floor. Need a stand or shelf near basin preferably.
Summary: Relaxing, cared for and very hospitable. Superb place to stay near the town and Balmoral

Positive: There are days things happen to you that are totally unexpected. We spent the last night of our extended trip through Scotland in an extraordinary place just outside Ballatar: CRAGGAN. Calling it a boutique hotel would be an understatement. The CRAGGAN is run by a wonderfully kind couple. Our room was large, the best mattress we slept on in Scotland, superb pillows, a great bathroom and a view on hilly meadows with pheasants, rabbits and hawks. Breakfast makes the Ritz-Carlton jealous. If you have the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality of Craggan, grasp it: it has only three rooms
Summary: A fairy tale

Positive: It was a very peaceful location with ample room to relax and explore. The breakfast prepared each day (both fruit/ pastry/ fresh bakes) and hot breakfast was the best we have had in 35 years of traveling around the world.
Negative: The gracious hosts accommodated all our needs!We wished we had booked for more than three days to enjoy the property and surrounding area.
Summary: An amazing, beautiful place to stay and even more amazing breakfasts!
