Guest Reviews

• Alexander (10/5): - Very neat little place. We very much enjoyed our stay here.
• Kathleen (10/5): - What a wonderful experience! These pods are warm, comfortable and in a very quiet location. And the hot tub was wonderful after a day of fly fishing. What a lovely experience. I would definitely stay again and give it a top recommendation. Tracey was wonderful, greeting us upon arrival. After that we were left on our own.
• Emma (6/5): Very Small - Concept is great but it is just TOO small. We were tripping over each other and our bag. Also with bed against one wall, was annoying for that person to get out. Comfortable and clean though and location was ok.
• Freddie (10/5): A wonderful Speyside holiday destination - Our cabin was a delightful place to spend a few nights while visiting distilleries and walking in the beautiful local countryside. The beds were very comfortable and the addition of the fire pit made the evenings all the more special. Thanks to Tracy for being on hand to help with everything we needed. We hope to visit again soon!
• Erik (10/5): - All positive
• Boo Ching (10/5): Small beautiful pod with great views. - The pod was beautiful and very clean. Host Tracy was excellent and very responsive. Everything was great. The unit is however small but it is something we already know during booking. Bed was also small for 2 large adults. Otherwise fantastic!
• David (10/5): Beautiful Stay - A peaceful and relaxing location. Easy to access local distilleries. The hosts were super helpful and responsive!
• Cynthia (10/5): - Séjour fantastique, hôtes aux petits soins, vue extraordinaire, logement plus que confortable.
• Lorna (10/5): - Wonderful cabin. Walking distance to Dufftown, the cabin was really well equipped and the hot tub under the stars was amazing.
• Cheryl (10/5): Amazing pods in amazing location - Loved our stay here. Pods are well equipped and surprisingly spacious, more than enough room for our family of four. Site has fantastic views in a quiet location just a short walk from the village. Also appreciated the enclosed garden, giving privacy for using the hot tub and safety for dogs and younger kids. Will definitely be back ❤️

• David (10/5): - Amazing place
• Emma (10/5): Absolutely beautiful - Absolutely beautiful setting. Travelling for work around the Aberdeenshire area for 3 nights and it made for a lovely tranquil place to relax at the end of long days. Perfectly set up to work at the table, relax on the sofa, cook a meal etc. Would definitely stay again and will try to when I’m next in that area again.

• Mary (10/5): Lovely family holiday - A wonderful holiday for our family. Lovely quiet location with everything we needed. We all had a very comfortable nights sleep and the hot tub was well used. The twinkly lights made the hot tub quite magical at night time. Great location for exploring this area and a quiet haven to return to to enjoy the homely accommodation and very cosy hot tub. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We will be back again! Thank you

• Reynolds (10/5): - The property was spotless and the owners made sure we had every piece of info ahead of our arrival.
• Richard (10/5): - Fantastic place to stay. Accomodation was spotless and very comfortable
• Richy (10/5): - The hillside setting was gorgeous with amazing views across local Dufftown. So peaceful and quiet. We were fortunate enough to have clear blue skies and at night the full star sky put on a breathtaking show for us!
• José Luis (10/5): Exceeding expectations - Great customer service, the owners very helpful and friendly going beyond expectations. We will definitely stay there in the future.
• Mark (10/5): Returning Visitor - Stay here frequently for work trips. Hosts do an exceptional job. Always pristine and the scenery is a picture! Well equipped and comfortable
• Matt&Melanie (10/5): - This place is beyond excellent. I loved staying here, my absolute favorite place I stayed on my trip in Scotland. It's out of the way but not far away from everything, if that makes sense? It's just the right amount of distance out of town. Its quiet and dark at night, with lots of sky. Great for sitting out on the little deck sipping some Scotch looking at all the stars. The family that runs the 4 little cottages was super nice and had us talking for a good 30 min just about are trip and us. And in return we told her how much we loved her little cottages. Super easy to talk to and just good people. Hope to go back one day and stay here again.
• AbbyB (10/5): - Wonderful “Glamping” experience! Beautiful country setting with an easy walk into the local town. The host was very friendly and provided all necessary amenities.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was perfect, from the very lovely pods to the beautiful surroundings and the very nice and helpful hosts. I can highly recommend this accomodation!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was our best stay in Scotland. The hosts were so lovely and welcoming, and the property itself was fantastic. Very roomy, all the amenities you could want and then some, beautiful views, and a hillside walking path that takes you straight to the center of Dufftown. We were able to walk to the co-op and buy food to make in the fully stocked mini kitchen, though there were many great restaurants nearby as well. It’s very central to the many distilleries in the area. We were able to walk to Glenfiddich and Balvenie, as well as Balvenie Castle. It’s nice to be just outside of town because it’s very peaceful and quiet, just a friendly hillside of sheep next door as neighbors. I cannot wait to come back and stay at Hillside Havens again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic. Couldn't recommend this place more
• R. (10/5): Whisky lovers place to be - Mooie intieme cabins met uitzicht over de valley en dorp. Alles is aanwezig en eigenaars zijn enorm hulpzaam.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - My wife and I recently visited Scotland and Hillside Havens was one of our favorite places we stayed. The well-appointed pods are set on a hillside farm overlooking the town of Dufftown, about a mile from town. Although cozy, there is more space than it appears and the bathroom was surprisingly large. The bed and couch were comfortable with a cute kitchen and in floor heat. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Outside, you can stroll the meadows by sheep and thru fields of barley that are used by the local Balvenie distillery. Highly recommend!
• Jeff (10/5): AMAZING!!!! - Amazing owners. Super comfortable. Great views and the town and surrounding areas are awesome. Filled with friendly people and lots of scotch whisky. Will definitely return!
• Rebecca (10/5): Unique and fun place to stay - We stayed only one night but wished we would have stayed 2. The host/owner was super friendly and helpful. It’s a short walk into a lovely town and to Glenfiddich distillery. The views are spectacular and it was fun to stay in a tiny house. We had a toddler with us so he slept in our bed but there’s also a pullout couch.
• Scott (10/5): Couples Whisky Getaway - Short trek into the townsite in a picturesque rural setting. Amazing little space with great host full of local knowledge. We would not hesitate to stay again. Loved it!
• Verified traveler (10/5): POD - Interesting concept of living in a pod. Floor heating worked well. Nice amenities. Friendly helpful owner/proprietor. Beautiful setting in the Scottish Highlands.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing! The cabins are perfect and the location couldn’t be better. We will definitely be back soon.
• Adam (10/5): Fantastic accommodation - Fantastic accommodation really enjoyed my stay.
• Marlo (10/5): Glamping pod at Dufftown - We had a great stay at Hillside Havens even though the weather wasn't kind! The pods are so warm and comfortable and well equipped that we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We definitely want to go back!

• Andrew (10/5): Fantastic little cabin with beautiful scenery - We went for one night to get away from the hustle and bustle. The cabin is well equipped with a tv, WiFi, heating, mini kitchen area, double bed, sofa bed and a toilet c/w shower. Outside there is a large table and chairs.
