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.

First class from start to finish. These cottages were in the perfect location to explore the area. I love everything about them, the back story, the staff, the set up in each one, the extras ie pieces of equipment should you need them. There aren't enough places with set-ups like this in Scotland. My husband, a wheelchair user, said, it's the first place he'd been to where he felt at home, no stress, no fear of not being in his own surroundings. Thanks to Maggie and her team, we had the most amazing holiday. We were also so lucky with the weather too. I managed a few walks and would highly recommend the Cairns walk which runs round the back of the Balmoral estate, great views from the top. I would also recommend a walk along the main road to the Highlanders Bakehouse. Wow, the butteries, cinnamon buns and coffee are to die for! Best we'd ever had, our only disappointment was that they're only open Thurs - Sun but well worth the wait!! They also have a shop in Braemar open the same days. We had our cocker spaniel with us who loved running around in the garden. We are already planning at least one trip back for next year.
