The aim of Crathie Opportunity Holidays is to make it possible for everyone to find suitable accommodation, which includes specialist facilities and equipment, to enjoy a holiday in this most beautiful part of Scotland.

For many years the 200 year old stable courtyard on the banks of the River Dee overlooking Balmoral Estate lay derelict. In 2002 as a result of five years of fundraising by local volunteers these fine old granite buildings were transformed.

  • They have been sensitively restored externally to retain many of the original features of the stables.
  • Internally they have been designed so that there should be no barriers to occupancy by people with disabilities.
  • An extensive range of fixtures and free standing aids enable guests to experience their holiday with confidence.
  • Surrounded by an extensive, fenced play area this facility really is ideal for families with disabled people.
  • Our staff will be on hand to give you a warm welcome and offer any advice or information you may require during your stay.
