Lovely quiet location, cosy, comfortable well equipped lodges with all the mod cons and . Lovely central location within walking distance to the shops, pubs and restaurants. Good WiFi which is a great bonus. Our dog was made very welcome and we absolutely loved our stay there. Gordon was really welcoming and helpful - the lodges are an excellent place to stay for a quiet relaxing break.
Excellent lodge. Very clean,comfortable and well equipped. Owners very friendly and helpful. Not far from centre of Ballater. Definitely recommend for a carefree holiday. Free wifi which was easy to access. Also suitable for dog owners.
Thank you for your kind comments hope to see you soon
Stayed here for 3 nights with another family in a different lodge.
The lodges were lovely. All you could need bar food (though very grateful for the milk and tea upon arrival!), comfy and warm.
The children played outside all the time on the trampoline and playground. We could sit on the decking.
Near the town which has all amenities and a co-op open until late.
The area is gorgeous with thousands of walks.
Gordon was very friendly. Even when I had a very unfortunate accident with a hot pan and the new kitchen top. Which was sorted quickly and amicably despite how annoying this must have been.
Will definitely return to the lodges and Ballater. We felt very lucky to have found this little gem.
Just back from a family weekend away. Rented three lodges and we were made really welcome. The lodges were cosy and clean with comfy beds. The lodges have been refurbished and they are very smart. We were able to access the WFI easily too. Lots of great walks for the dog we had with us. My Mum and Dad have been visiting Ballater since the 1960s and my Dad requested this trip together. He really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.
Excellent Lodges - clean, comfortable and contemporary with everything we needed – including hairdryer, microwave and dishwasher! Well heated and plenty of hot water... great for a February in Scotland. The extra touches such as milk in the fridge on our arrival really were appreciated. Good wi-fi too... they really have thought of everything. Friendly and helpful hosts made it a pleasure to stay.
Lovely surrounding area and some excellent walks right on the doorstep – details can be found in the welcome book in the lodge, as can details of the restaurants and takeaways around town, the centre of which is a 5 minute walk away. All the locals we met around town were friendly and welcoming and all the bars were fine – we checked them all to ensure a balanced view!
These lodges are situated in Ballater, a few minutes walk to shops/pubs/eateries. Great walks start on the doorstep which is great seeing as some of the lodges are dog friendly.
They have everything you need and Gordon and Jennifer the owners are on site offering any further help you may need.
Spotlessly clean, dishwasher, hairdryer, free wifi, HD tv's, all cleaning stuff and towels provided, you really just need your clothes and toiletries. Little welcome pack too, milk, tea, coffee etc, enough to get you started.
The lodges are in process of renovation with 1 being refurbished at a time.
Stayed for Hogmanay, all the lodges were decorated with outside lights and a Christmas tree inside each lodge too.
It is without doubt the service and welcome given by Gordon that makes them so special, alongside perfect location, we will definitely be returning!!!
