Positive: We stayed at Craggan for two nights, and the whole stay was just wonderful. The reception by Martyn was very warm, friendly and welcoming, the room was beautiful and very comfortable, and Louise's cooking was truly exceptional. All in all this was just a very pleasant stay for which we are very grateful. Located in the heart of Cairngorms there is plenty to do as well (we went for hiking, but just as easily we could have visited Balmoral castle for instance, or we could just have relaxed in the beautiful countryside), and Ballater has plenty of good options for dinner. We found our hosts extremely helpful, and they went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as they could. Louise's cooking is reason enough in itself to stay at this place, but truly the whole experience was just wonderful. Highly recommended!
Negative: I really cannot think of anything.
Summary: Wonderful.

Positive: Everything! The location is fantastic, stunning mountain views. Close to the local villages and very close to Balmoral Castle. The house is very beautiful and felt like home away from home. The room itself was perfect and had everything we needed and more! The hosts are really lovely people who cannot do enough to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. The little extras in the room are so thoughtful. We felt like royalty. They have clearly put so much love and hard work into the property. Breakfast was outstanding and there is so much choice. The baked goods were also very much appreciated and delicious! Couldn’t recommend enough. A true gem.
Negative: Nothing at all - it’s worth every penny.
Summary: A true gem! Would come back in a heartbeat.
