Cairn Leuchan,Glen Muick, Ballater

Great place to stay. There are some beautiful hiking trails all around. The village has some nice restaurants if you do not feel like cooking in the well equipped kitchen. Go and visits Balmoral Estate and the Cairn (pyramids), it is a short drive up the road. Would defiantly recommend and will look at staying again.

We enjoyed our stay here. Lovely, clean accommodation with everything we needed and good accommodation

This cottage is so nice you won't want to leave the house. The layout is perfect and incredibly functional, and the style is pristine and tasteful. There is a laminated guidebook with info about the appliances, temp control, amenities, nearby hikes. Everything was in stock, everything worked. The skylights have blinds/shades and can be cracked open for air, and the lighting options inside are numerous. Sometimes you see houses that have been flipped with superficial touches yet they fail at basic functions. Not this house. Cairn Leuchan is the perfect synthesis of substance and style. A dream come true. Plus, Clare was communicative and friendly during every interaction. I wish I could relive the three nights I spent here. It was heaven...the kind of memory I will replay on my death bed...20 year anniversary, with my wife, in this lovely house. Do not hesitate...book this property!

Great location. Quiet. Close to town.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and very comfortable. The only negative for us was the shower, my husband is 6ft 2 and he only just fitted under it but he enjoyed having baths.

Lovely cottage just outside Ballater. Good amenities.

We stayed in the cottage for three nights and found it the perfect location for scouting out the National Park and surrounding areas. We recommend it to all travelers.

The photograph of the property was misleading, Cairn Leuchan is not the whole property as pictured, it is only the right hand one third. We were disappointed that we did not have the whole property. The kitchen area was small, although there was a good sized fridge there was no storage for 'dry goods'. Other than that it was warm and comfortable.

Great short break in a lovely, quiet location.

A lovely property in a great rural location. Good to come back to after a day out walking. Owners nearby and very responsive to queries (we couldn’t get the dishwasher to work at first). Very comfortable bed and seating. Pleasant walk into Ballater. all in all I highly recommend.

Everything was lovely, but a dish/j cloth would have been a good idea. We would rather have a freezer than a dishwasher.
