Very clean and comfortable. The room we had to start with was noisy as it was above the bar but they kindly allowed us to change to a quieter room. Very welcoming and helpful. Great with out little one year old too. For a little extra breakfast is offered, great value and convenient. Would recommend!

Very cosy and nice hotel located in a small village in Aberdeenshire, but easily reachable. Had a really warm welcome and recommend to anyone looking for an accommodation around Lumphanan!

The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. There is a rowdy bar (the only one in town, aparently) downstairs, so quite a lot of noise until about midnight. Other than that - friendly service, good food and nice self-service breakfast. A convenient stop to spend a night along the way.

Really nice modern room with an on suite, tea/coffee facilities and plenty of space to put your stuff. Bridget was very accommodating and breakfast was really nice. There is a dog called George who is lovely and very well behaved. It's a shame I only stayed one night, I will definitely be returning!

Emily's cottage is beautiful. The garden and surroundings are peaceful and have lots of great paths for exploring. The rooms are all unique, warming and comfortable. There's also an enormous stock of books and some great boardgames for your entertainment. The cottage was immaculate and well-stocked with soft towels, kitchenware and firewood. I'll be renting the cottage again in future! Thank you for tbe welcome note too Emily, you're a great host!

Garden cottage is absolutely beautiful. The interior decor is gorgeous, whilst remaining homely and welcoming. The cottage itself is set on a working estate and as guests you are able to walk around beautiful gardens and explore the surrounding forests and paths which are peaceful and full of birds and bunny rabbits (much to our kids delight!). An unexpected bonus was access to a private tennis court, with a football goal in one corner. The setting was secluded and peaceful and felt very safe for children. Our 3 were able to cycle from the cottage to the entrance of the estate and back again by themselves and loved the freedom. You do need to drive from the cottage to local amenities (5 mins to Torphins and 10mins to Banchory), but that is part of its charm. There are lots of fantastic things to do nearby. We went swimming in the River Dee near Potarch and then had a lovely meal in the Potarch cafe and restaurant (which had a great beer garden and outdoor kids play area). We also visited Crathes Castle, saw salmon leaping at Falls of Feugh and even managed a wee visit to the outdoor swimming pool in Stonehaven on the way home - and we were only there for 2 nights! For a short break we could not have asked for any more. Given the chance, we will be back. Highly recommend.

Really great apartment in a beautiful location. Great communication from Stuart and Pip leading up to our stay, would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Cairnview apartment was lovely. Before my arrival pip and stu gave me the directions to their place and offered me very kindly help if I had problems finding it. The apartment itself was comfy and its location was perfect for our trip. It is beautifully furnished and the kitchen has everything you could need. All in all I had a really nice stay.

A fantastic place and Stuart and his wife a very warm, relaxed people. They had useful tips and made us feel welcome. For us this was an excellent place to make our day trips to the Cairngorms national park and chances are we'll visit again.

Our stay was very comfortable! Very nice apartment, beds were GREAT and everything was very clean! Beautiful view! Also Stuart was very friendly! Thanks Stuart! It was only a short stay but very good:)

Stuart was an excellent host - very friendly and helpful. The apartment was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is great too and it was lovely to look out over the countryside. If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again.

Stu and pip we're wonderful hosts who provided not only a lovely apartment but on arrival all essentials for a tea break. The house is a wonderful location surrounded by picturesque panoramic views. They were both friendly, attentive and helpful. I would highly recommend this listing.

Many thanks to Margaret for a very enjoyable stay at the bothy. She was there waiting for us on our arrival, with the wood stove already lit and the Christmas lights twinkling - a very warm welcome. The bothy is very comfortable (especially the bed), even in winter - it heats up fast with the little stove. If walking is your thing then you'll find great walks locally and slightly further afield - we even saw capercaillie at Glen Tanar. Thanks again for your hospitality, hope to see you again.

It was amazing, we loved it. Its so nice and cosy with the fire on.

Margaret and David were excellent hosts and made our stay very comfortable. This bothy is the perfect place to unwind.

Great for a quiet weekend away. The bothy was just as expected, nice and comfortable. Margaret was a great host, very welcoming and helpful.

Margaret warmly welcomed us to the bothy and Introduced us to the space. She gave us great ideas for local walks and the amenities local area. We loved the tranquil privacy of the bothy, the comfortable bed and the wood fire! The big shower was a luxury and the small touches were greatly appreciated, Margaret's gorgeous china teacups were a delight. Margaret was friendly and full of advice but also respected our privacy and space. We'd love to stay at the bothy the next time we need to escape city life. Thank you Margaret for a wonderful weekend!

Really lovely wee bothy and very welcoming! Can't reccomend highly enough.

Not your average Air B&B. Stunning setting and bigger than it looks in the pictures! The little touches really make the place incredibly comfortable. Lovely hosts and would definitely go again.

Highly recommended. Excellent communication with guests and love the layout of the bothy!

The room was clean, the beds and bathroom nice! There was also some stuff for some toast or tea/coffee. There is a lovely view and it's really calm, if there are no cars on the road nearby. Sheila gave us a lot of helpful information for local things to do.

Very comfortable room in stunning countryside. Sheila couldn't have been more hospitable or helpful.

Nous n'avons pas rencontré personnellement Sheila car elle a eu une panne de voiture. Ce sont ses parents qui nous ont pris en charge. Ce sont des personnes très agréables et accueillantes. Elles ont été d'un grand secours alors que nous avions aussi des problèmes de voiture. la chambre est spacieuse pour 4 personnes(URL HIDDEN)

Sheila nous a accueilli très chaleureusement. La chambre est spacieuse et très propre.

Very beautiful and cosy place, in a quiet and lovely location. The lounge was absolutely perfect for spending nice evenings with friends.

Host was not available to welcome us but had been in touch regarding arrangements and with contact details of someone we could get in touch with if we had any issues.

Beautiful cottage in stunning Deeside. Perfect for 2 families with the 2 separate accommodation wings and HUGE central family room. Really enjoyed the stay, thank you.

We spent three weeks here. Very nice and comfortable, well-appointed house. Suitable for large families or groups of friends as well. The environment calm and quiet. Nearby a lot of interesting attractions.

I can only say nice things about the place and people. Laura and John made it easy. The location and the cottage cannot be better. I cannot seen anybody visiting this cottage will be unhappy. It's huge! If you do not get lost in the wonderful Scotland, you might get lost in this cottage!! I don't believe in going back to same places as there is loads to see in this wonderful world but this cottage at least has put a thought to draw us back to this part of the world!! Thank you

This cottage was great, it felt like being at home. John the host was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. There was tons of space for people to spread out and get comfy. The location actually provided lots to do. Balmoral and Aberdeen are both about 30-45 minutes away. I would definitely come back.

Beautiful house in such a lovely area. The house is a great size. It had everything we needed in the house.

The cottage is big, clean and comfortable, in a beautiful setting of quiet Scottish countryside. We had a wonderful stay there.

This is such a peaceful and unique place to stay. Great dog walks near by and stunning countryside. Made very welcome.

Very special little place relaxing, clean and comfortable.

An incredibly beautiful, stylish, peaceful place to stay. Leonie was lovely the house was stunning in a really great location for exploring Aberdeenshire.

Lovely comfortable house. Had a great time touring aberdeenshire. Leonie was very accessible for any queries. Would stay again

The host was very friendly and the house met with the description on the internet. The house is in a beautiful country setting.

We had a fantastic time staying The Creamery. It's a wonderful place to base yourself in the Aberdeenshire countryside. The house is immaculately decorated and Leonie was very helpful. We would definitely like to come back!

Dermid was the perfect host. He is friendly, intelligent and helpful. The house was fantastic, homely, well equipped and clean with fab views, very rural, quiet experience - and remote! which we loved but you'd need a car to get to the nearest pub and shop. Could have stayed a lot longer, it was all wonderful.

Lovely peaceful Scottish countryside -- charming and comfortable house.

We had to ask twice to find the house: address came as 3 Culblean cottages. And only a partial post code. This needs to be addressed. We were made welcome and shown to room, and told to help ourselves to drinks and breakfast. informality overall , pleasant house

I am so very happy to stay in his house at the end of my trip in Scotland. His cozy house is comfortable and warm and has beautiful views. The surrounding area is so peaceful and pleasant to walk. Above all, Dermid is super welcoming and generous and is a great pleasure to chat with!!! Fabulous 2 nights in the wonderful house! Thanks a lot, Dermid!

We spent a great time at Dermid's. He arranged everything so that we can get into the house and was very friendly when we met him afterwards. The cosy house is also situated in a quiet place.

We had a very good stay at Dermid house. He welcomed us very well and we had nice conversation with him. The fire was on and the house very warm and cosy. Lovely bed very confortable and bathroom perfect. He gave us a lot of advices to visit the area and let us Cook dîner in the kitchen. We made our own breakfast with every think he prepared for us. Thank you Dermid. Your house is beautiful and we felt home, quiet with nice view. We will definitively recommend this place in a nice area close to the cairngorns and beautiful walk.

Dermid's place at Coull was great! It was cozy and the views were absolutely stunning. Dermid made himself available by phone and by email and was very patiently awaiting our unexpectedly late arrival. The nearby village of Aboyne had the Boat Inn Restaurant, which was fantastic and had incredible gluten free options. Overall, a great place to stay near the National Park!

The house is located in a fantastic location with beautiful views. Dermid and his daughter provided a warm welcome and I really enjoyed their company. Everything I could have needed was provided and I found the location relaxing and peaceful.

Vicki made you feel welcome and a chilled out space with easy coming and going. Nice to have a host that allows your stay to just follow. Would stay again.

I didn't meet Vicki herself as another gentleman (Casper) was managing the room the day we arrived. Casper was pleasant and helpful. The room was exactly as advertised. It was clean and comfortable with a small fridge and microwave we weren't expecting. It was only a 10 minute walk to town for groceries and the view out the door was beautiful. The only small negative for us was the internet which was really intermittent which made it a bit frustrating to plan our activities for the following day. All in all, for the price, this place was a tiny gem.

We had a wonderful stay at Vicki's garden studio. After 2 weeks on the road/hiking/camping/sightseeing, Vicki's home was a welcomed comfort. It was walking distance to the cute little town - which they offered to tour us around when we arrived (unfortunately our tired selves couldn't take them up on the offer - maybe next time!) Thanks!

wonderful place off the beaten track, and Vicky is so easy going - along with everyone else, who we met there, that we felt right in the middle of the community. And had our private calm place for ourselves, too. So: if you love the easy life, this is perfect. If you love it the strict way, overorganized and tight, then you should step back... We just loved everything we found!

We spent 3 nights in the garden studio whilst on a walking trip. The room itself was clean and cosy, and the ensuite wet room had a great shower. The room is quite small but there is plenty of wardrobe space for clothes and bags, and I wouldn't recommend spending too much time in the room when there is so much beauty to see nearby! The view out of the French doors across the valley is lovely! We opted not to have a key to the room and felt completely safe leaving the door open at night and whilst out during the day. The room is equipped with a microwave and beer fridge but we were offered food (at extremely reasonable prices) by Vicki, prepared by Casper the chef. Both the cooked and continental breakfasts were yummy and ample, and we also spent a delightful evening with Vicki and one of her friends with a tasty salmon dinner prepared by Casper. Overall, a great stay and one that represented excellent value for money. Thanks to Vicki and the Woofers for helping to make our stay in Scotland a memorable one!

Vicki was a great host, very helpful and accommodating, great communication both leading up to and during our stay. This is a wonderful space - a short 15 min walk from the shops/restaurants, very quiet, lovely views, very clean, great shower, perfect for a small family ( my daughter loved the single mezzanine bed) just needing a bit more thought put into some home comforts and it would be spectacular. We were however a bit confused at the tea/coffee facilities as there were no teaspoons, a microwave but no cutlery or crockery, only one towel provided for 3 of us - Vicki was very helpful when we asked for these items and provided them that evening - Thanks we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in Vicki's Garden studio for a night after attending a wedding nearby. Having originally been told the Garden studio was unavailable we booked another cheaper room (£40) with Vicki. Two weeks before our stay Vicki contacted us to let us know work had to be carried out to that room and the reservation would be cancelled. This was very disappointing to receive this news at such short notice, but we were then notified that the Garden View was available and we could stay there (at a cost of £58). Vicki offered us a free breakfast for the bother caused. The room itself was nice and comfortable and although the ensuite is a small wet room, it was very clean and convenient. The view from the room is lovely and the decking immediately outside offers a nice space to sit. The breakfast provided was tasty and Vicki was very easy going which helped make up for the initial booking problems.

Our stay in Karens house was just fantastic! Did exceed our expactations, it is beautifully furnished and we felt "at home". Situated in a quiet surrounding on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful landscape. We espacially loved the the diffent deco elements from aIl over the world. Thank you for the wonderful stay! Helga Helene Ingrid Klaus

We would highly recommend staying at Karen's property. The photographs, while good, don't do the property justice. The location and views are stunning. Karen is a very thoughtful hostess and the property didn't lack for anything. The local area is also fantastic - we left without managing to get through half of our to do list, but are looking forward to our next visit.

We were helped throughout by the owner who could not have been more thoughtful and accommodating. This is an area of Scotland we have not spent much time in before but we will return. The house itself is in a beautiful location, secluded but not too far from Aboyne where there's all you need should you not take everything with you. For cooks it's a perfect property with an array of pans bowls utensils and crockery ! Fantastic scenery and a very easy house to relax and have a fun time in. Lovely walks direct from the house.

Beautiful well equipped house very peaceful and remote

What we have to say is just that this cottage is absolutely superb! The Renovation was very well made, very comfortable wooden floors fireplace very good decoration with all the appliances you need for a perfect holiday! We have been received by Tony (Karen father) with a warm welcoming, he even paid us some drinks at the boat inn in Aboyne a beautiful rustic Pub with fantastic home made food and local beers! So the Mains of Coull is a very good place if you want to visit Balmoral Cairngorms and the Castles in Aberdeenshire! We should be back soon

Lovely house - kitchen was well-stocked, interior was spacious, and setting was remote but it was easy to get to nearby villages (by foot or car). Our family enjoyed the space and comfort, and found it to be a great base for exploring. Our hosts communicated well and were helpful. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time at Karen's beautiful house and highly recommend it. We were a group of 3 couples attending a wedding at Glen Tanar estate and the location was fantastic, only a short 15 minute drive to the venue. Karen's father greeted us on arrival and gave us the grand tour along with lots of helpful advice. The house is beautifully presented and was a truly luxurious home from home. We loved the l'occitane products in the bathrooms and greatly appreciated the food and drinks that were left for our arrival. We ate out at the boat Inn Aboyne where the food was fantastic. We only wish we could have stayed longer at this beautiful house in its wonderful surroundings. Many thanks Karen we had an amazing time!

Karen's house went beyond our expectation, we had everything we needed and more. She rearranged her plans so we could come on the dates we wanted and was swift and helpful in all communication. We were met with a very warm welcome including a roaring fire, lit Christmas tree and a bottle of red. The house was in a beautiful location too. What else could you ask for..
