We (two adults) had a brilliant stay in Margaret’s extremely comfortable and well equipped cottage with a spacious garden. Its central location means that all the local facilities in Ballater are a stroll away. Unlike some hosts she ensures that there are supplies of cleaning materials and other day to day consumables. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making Craigclunie a real home from home.
