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!

Positive: It starts with its great location outside, but close to Ballater, offering a marvellous view. The house interior is very nice and cosy, the suite was spacious and offered all amenities we have been looking for. The biggest assets are nevertheless Louise and Martyn; they have provided a generous and relaxed hospitality we haven’t encountered before in any B&B. And Louise, I have to mention that, is an excellent chef with a great breakfast and dinner experience.

Negative: Everything was fantastic there.

Summary: The best B&B we have had so far. Just unforgettable.

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!

Travel Purpose: leisure

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
