Prachtige locatie. Hottub is een leuke extra.

Tuinmeubilair is aan vervanging toe. Cabin niet voldoende ruim voor meer dan 2 volwassen en 1 kind.

"An sich schön, aber Preis-Leistung stimmt nicht ganz."

7.0

Das Häuschen war geschmackvoll eingerichtet und das Bett sehr extrem. Die Lage am Fluss ist schön. Der HotTub war sauber und unkompliziert zu nutzen.

Die Bilder sind sehr clever fotografiert, sodass das Haus größer wirkt, als es ist. Für 2 Personen geht es gerade so. Das Bad war zwar optisch sauber und hübsch, roch aber extrem modrig. Das war unangenehm. Ein Fenster zum öffnen einzubauen wäre gut gewesen. Es war für uns nicht ersichtlich, dass wir quasi im Garten der Familie wohnen und Kinder und Hunde rum laufen und es abends mehrmals nach Weed roch. Für 150 Pfund die Nacht dann auch noch zu fragen, ob wir das Bett selbst abziehen können, war ein bisschen viel.

"A small but well designed cabin in a perfect location"

10.0

Lovely location. A short walk to the river and easy walking distance from Ballater. It is set in a charming garden with a beautiful view of forests and hills. The cabin is delightful and the bathroom is splendid. We were made to feel very welcome.

Nothing. I would happily visit again
