Confirmed Guest
We had a lovely stay at Dee View apartment. It is very well located right in the centre of Banchory. It was spotlessly clean and came with a generous welcome pack with milk, bread, butter, jams, crisps and biscuits. There was also a good supply of tea, coffee and sugar. When the bathroom light broke it was fixed the same day we reported it. It was generally well equipped although with a couple of things missing including a vegetable peeler and a longer bread knife. We would have liked a washing up bowl, but that’s our personal preference. We did find the duvets too thick and warm and would suggest the provision of lighter duvets as it’s a nice warm flat. It’s on the first floor with a steep set of stairs and no lift which was fine for us but wouldn't be suitable for someone with mobility problems. We would definitely recommend it to family and friends and would stay there again.

This apartment truly is 5 star! Beautifully furnished with quality bed linen, towels and crockery. Spotlessly clean. The owner has thought of everything! Easy walk into town or down to the river and an allocated parking space. Would highly recommend a visit.
