"Such an unique experience! These bothies are incredible, both in the design, practicality and location. We hired two bothies for our family of 5 and dog and they were great, very clean, equipped and really made us more energy conscious. We were very comfortable. They also supply everything including washing up liquid, sponges, bin bags, logs, fire lighters, kindling. The location is ideal for exploring this part of the Cairngorms and google maps took us straight there - it’s setting within...

"So we had a classic king room which was a small room but nice, bed was ok for comfort, only thing about the room from a woman perspective was if doing hair and makeup there was no light to see what you were doing at the mirror so you had to do separately but this is a small complaint, but it was a very nice hotel friendly staff, food was nice we didn't do breakfast, I would visit this hotel again we loved our stay "

### Magical Woodland Cottage 

10/10 Excellent

"Just wow! Secluded location within 3 mins drive of the centre of Ballater. One, if not the best place we have stayed at. The Host was really helpful and was able to accommodate an additional night when we were snowed in. The house was floor heated down stairs with an open fireplace in the seperate lounge with no shortage of wood. Heating was also great upstairs and the beds were the best we have slept on in our 3 weeks of travel so far in the UK. The Host has thought of everything, but for the coffee lovers out there, there is no coffee machine. The ‘Magical Cottage’ name pretty much sums up the place. We were fortunate to be there when it snowed, picture postcard stuff. Ballater itself was gorgeous, and we loved the Balmoral Bar as the staff and patrons were all so engaging, so too were the pooches that also frequented the Bar. The is a COOP supermarket within 50m of the Balmoral. We have some great memories to take home to Australia!"
