"Very comfortable, I would stay there again."

9.0

Very comfortable and good quality, with everything needed for a simple stay. Ideal for a solo traveller. Quiet and private despite being on a street in town. Ballater is a great little town with good shops and cafes, and easy access to beautiful walks.

"Beautiful area, not far from Balmoral castle, can see why the Royal family love this area."

8.0

In a very quiet side street located in a beautiful village. clean, good cooking facilities, including a small air fryer, comfortable bed(it was to one side) 2 minute walk to the centre of the village. Local co op, cafes.

Nothing really, only one comment, there is no TV, but after spending a couple days exploring the area, we were happy not to turn a tv on.

"Glad we found Willow’s Nordic Shepherds Hood!"

10.0

We had an amazing time! Everything you need for few days away- well equipped, in quiet location, close enough to the shops and local businesses. Great for those looking for comfortable nights and rest, before days of exploring and adventures 👍 We found it easy to find and access- full information/instructions sent by the host was easy to follow. “Welcome book” helped avoid any unwanted surprises- appreciated 👍

"Beautifully thought out, cosy shepherds hut"

9.0

Beautifully thought out. It’s small and cosy, but really well designed with everything you’d need for your stay. Great location - everything in Ballater just a short walk away

For a short stay (couple of nights)it’s perfect, just not enough space for a long stay, even though it’s well planned out.

"Gorgeous views, fantastic location, beautiful hut and amazing staff!"

10.0

We loved every single moment- from start to finish! The staff were always on hand, super friendly and attentive! The hut was gorgeous and clean!! We utilised the outside space for morning coffees, the inside space is small but perfect for what we were wanting! The but was equipped with everything you could need! Iron, hair dryer, toilet rolls, some tea and coffee, shower gel and more!! Location? Amazing! It’s a couple minute walk to the main square, close to pubs, restaurants and more! Best to note the hut is close to other properties so you should expect a tiny tiny bit of noise but this did not affect us one bit!! We will absolutely be back!!!

Nothing! Cannot fault this place/ our trip to Ballater!
