Truly Fabulous
A magnificent property that fully lived up to expectation. Ideally suited for visits to Ballater, Braemar, Balmoral and Deeside as a whole. The options for walking with our dog were endless….. he had a fabulous time as well. The garden was safe and extensive. Need to thank Dan for making sure that we were properly prepared for Storm Babet. We will return.

Ballater Holiday
Great place to stay, great location, and lovely and friendly hostess that provided us with freshly laid eggs. We have visited Ballater many times but never stayed in the area and it was well worth the wait. Great to have the large enclosed garden for the dogs. First self catering holidays that have provided Glencairn glasses to drink my whisky out off, first class. Hope to go back again.

Fabulous location, lovely house
We thoroughly enjoyed our new year stay at Croft Mill. Great wee property half an hours walk into Ballater Town centre. We were lucky to get 6 inches of snow the night we arrived. Made our stay a little bit magical! Thank you!

Beautiful location
We enjoyed our stay at Glen Muick. It’s within easy walking distance of lovely, sleepy Ballater, and a 40 minute scenic ride on the SnowRoad to Glenshee ski centre. The barn was well equipped and warm!
