David was very responsive pre-stay. Great location and beautiful setting overlooking woodland and pond. Easy check-in at Reception. Spacious and well equipped lodge, each bedroom has shower.Pool area recently refurbished and offers children’s pools, larger pool, steam room and sauna, snooker and table tennis. Tennis court for warmer weather. Many local walks and short walk to Ballater with great amenities, golf, tennis, fishing ( locally)bowling and mountain biking. Good selection of shops, galleries (Ballater and Wood and Wool) and great butcher. Restaurants -Fish Shop Ballater and Kildrummy Inn, Alford both great options. All in all Royal Deeside is a great choice for a relaxing or active holiday.

Despite the horrendous weather we had a great time at David's place. Nb, you don't come to this part of Scotland for perfect weather and the old adage "theres no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing" is especially true of the Cairngorms in late October. But then there is plenty to do should you not want to climb Lochnagar (we did this in the snow which was just awesome!). Ballater has everything you need from a small town. Great tea rooms, curry house and access to walks and mtb rides everywhere to mention but a few. Once you return from your adventures, the lodge allows you access to the adjacent hotel's leisure centre that has a pool and gym to unwind in with a few spa facilities such as sauna and steam room. There is a jacuzzi but unfortunately wasn't working during our stay. There is also a bar and bistro, idea for a post dip tipple. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will hopefully return soon. The lodge itself is always warm and cosy with everything that you need.

Amazing lodge to relax with family. It has everything you need and more for self catering - fully equipped kitchen with hob, oven, coffee machine, toaster, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, tea towels, washing up liquid. It also has washing machine and dryer, iron with board and hair dryer. Has own sauna in one of the bathrooms. The place was spotless and clean. In living room board games available. We couldn't ask for more and felt like home .Also access to Hilton gym, game rooms, swimming pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi with great opening times and very friendly staff. Spa treatments available to book. Beautiful walks and surrounded in nature, just beautiful. Ski centre 35 min drive away.Thank you David!
