Peaceful, thoughtfully and well equipped. Had a lovely break without having to worry about anything.

Superb cottages in a beautiful location Had a great week in one of the 4 cottages here. They are right by the River Don and next door to Balmoral. Set in lovely grounds with space to sit outside. These wee cottages are fully accessible and thus it was great to have a riser/recliner chair and profiling bed for one of our party. The food storage space and fridge were too small in Gairn ( the smallest cottage) but there is a laundry room with extra fridge and freezer space which we made use of. Very nice accommodation and would definitely go back. Lovely, helpful staff both at booking stage and onsite. A great find and highly recommended if you need an accessible holiday venue.
