This was a lovely place

What a wonderful place. Blocks away from everything you need in Ballater and what a nice place. My family really enjoyed this location and the family that owes it. We would definitely stay there over again.

Lovely Stay at Craigen Cottage

Beautifully appointed cottage that retains period features. Immaculately kept by the owners with a lovely warm welcome. Nothing too much trouble. Couldn't wish for a better location or accommodation. Looking forward to staying again.
